Tape-Based Workflow Replaced With Powerful
Multi-Site Integrated System for Tracking, Archiving and Transmitting
Content
OmniBus Systems, the award-winning provider of comprehensive
automation and content management solutions to the broadcast
industry, has announced the installation at Rádio e
Televisão de Portugal (RTP) of a fully integrated content
management system to provide RTP's Porto and Lisbon news operations
with streamlined access to its central content archive. The
system comprises facilities for global ingest, production,
post-production, transmission, news and archive operations
as part of a major new studio and facilities installation
for the Portuguese national broadcaster.
The system installation, overseen by main contractor Sony
Professional Services and OmniBus distributor Ibertelco Electrónica,
includes the OmniBus OPUS digital asset management (DAM) system
with the capability of ingesting content locally from tape
and interfacing with Quantel and Omneon servers, as well as
OmniBus Colossus for transmission.
The global ingest system provides control of a Sony Flexicart,
an expansion to the video servers in the DAM and additional
workstations to facilitate the ingest of content for the complete
operation. The DAM system is based on a full OmniBus G3 and
core automation system, workflow manager application, and
G3 clients managing a Front Porch Digital DIVArchive with
Sony Petasite for long-term storage of content. A Microsoft®
Windows Media® 9 browse server provides browse viewing
for the local DAM users and remote browse for remote news
sites in Porto.
"This is a large and comprehensive installation that
provides RTP personnel with user-friendly, task-based content
management and workflow systems, enabling them to search,
browse, annotate and move content throughout their operation
and between sites," said David Ball, OmniBus Systems
senior project manager. "It completely supersedes RTP's
previous tape-based system, and with workflow tasks being
tracked at every stage, it ensures the right content is always
available for transmission."
