ORANGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS
WIRE)-- Apace Systems
Corporation®, a leading media workflow and
storage solution provider for video, graphics
and audio content creation, distribution and
archive, announces immediate availability of its
ViEW system platform, an end-to-end workflow for
remote collaborative video editing at a global
scale.
For the first time, media editing workflow can
be completely virtualized beyond physical
locations. From anywhere in the world, media
editors can edit and access each other’s media
content, expediting the process of ingesting,
editing, and collaborative communication of any
media. With a simple browser and over Internet
or VPN, a rough cut of raw video can be easily
edited on-line and presented to target audiences
instantly. The benefits in efficiency and cost
savings are tremendous as editing, peer review,
and approval process of media cuts are
streamlined. Editors can simply communicate,
edit and cut at the timecode level on raw and
proxy footage using a backend database managing
collaborative video editing process between
different remote editing locations globally. A
director, from the field, can directly access
and offer editing instructions at video clips
and timecode level to the head office,
drastically, cutting down editing time to final
cut.
The ViEW
technology’s self contained system platform is
all inclusive of needed hardware and software to
interoperate with or without any popular video
editing software. A user only needs a browser
with Internet access to edit and is independent
from local OS. ViEW also provides mechanisms to
support EDL, closed-caption and transcode for
flexibility and interoperability between
different formats and editing environments.
Combined with
Apace’s postMAM media asset management, ViEW
offers a complete virtualized video editing
workflow to upload, ingest, and edit raw footage
via Internet so editors can collaborate anywhere
around the world. The system supports instant
customer feedback and peer review. Further with
Apace’s Octopa, Apace provides an ecosystem for
facility-wide storage and project management.
The storage
management includes SAN islands like Unity/ISIS,
XSAN, or other SAN, NAS, DAS and client local
storage. Project management features enable
project scheduling, project progress monitoring,
communications of concept/idea exchange at
project, video clip and sequence level. Contrary
to the conventional approach, all the functions
are web-based for a completely virtualized
OS-independent media worldwide workflow.
Apace Systems
will showcase ViEW at IBC 2008 Europe, September
12-16th, 2008, at Apace booth #7.G49.
