demonstrated VSNExplorer MAM , an enhanced version of its media asset management software ( MAM ). VSN has integrated its editing tool , Wedit , and other new functionalities such as voiceover capability , to VSNExplorer MAM .
Wedit is a tool developed in HTML5 that allows journalists and editors to edit videos and prepare them for broadcast from a single interface . And now with advanced editing and voiceover capabilities included in the Wedit tool , users will be able to record voiceover tracks to the timeline , while previewing the sequence proxy video with frame accuracy , said Nick Morgan , sales director for Asia-Pacific , VSN .
The latest version of Wedit also allow users to drag-and-drop existing audio assets into the timeline , and display the waveform pictures of each audio track to improve the user experience . Morgan continued : “ As a result , users will save time when editing their final news and videos , thereby becoming more efficient and being able to meet tight deadlines .”
Meanwhile , Vizrt showcased the latest version of Viz Story , equipped with a cloudbased workflow for journalists to search , edit and publish media . Viz Story allows media companies to create compelling video stories with 3D graphics , and distribute to online and social media platforms .
Viz Story incorporates Vizrt ’ s metagraphics workflow when using the Viz Story plug-in in a newsroom control system . Metagraphics offer storage of graphics up to the time of playout , and allows editors and journalists to save the graphics metadata
|
alongside newly-edited video , saving both to a MAM system . Other key features of Viz Story include a browser-based workflow , keyframed clip panning , timeline editing and Facebook Text on Video .
Merging both linear and on-demand programming into one content workflow is MediaGeniX , who urge media companies to reinvent their business models in order to meet new viewer expectations , and all the complex workflows that this entails .
At the show , MediaGeniX highlighted WHATS ’ ON , its broadcast management system , which is designed to streamline the entire content lifecycle into one workflow . In managing multi-format workflows , the WHATS ’ ON software solution has the ability to manage from budget plan to fully fledged playlists , and schedule content automatically in line with rights , regulations , business rules , branding and marketing targets . Globo , Discovery Communications , A + E Networks and Viacom are some of the international media networks that have deployed WHATS ’ ON to maximise their content lifecycle for both video-on-demand ( VoD ) and linear scheduling .
Interra Systems is another company that aims to help media companies to deliver live and VoD content across all screens in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible . The company offered its Orion-OTT , a software-based OTT solution , for monitoring of ABR content for quality and compliance .
The latest version of Orion-OTT features an edge performance monitor ( EPM ) for end-to-end monitoring . EPM can be integrated with third-party device monitors to
|
collect QoE parameters for management of issues . Additionally , Orion-OTT includes a new origin performance monitor for active and passive monitoring of origin servers , with the ability to monitor average response time and bandwidth served , server availability , and HTTP response codecs .
Anupama Anantharaman , vice-president , product marketing and business development , Interra Systems , said : “ This year , we are focusing on extending video quality , and all the other aspects surrounding video . The industry has seen the emergence of OTT , which , in turn , prompts media companies to customise their content offerings to individuals instead of traditionally targeting the market as a whole .”
Alongside Orion-OTT , Interra Systems also displayed the newest version of its Baton QC solution , which leverages artificial intelligence ( AI ) and machine learning-based advanced algorithms . The Baton filed-based QC solution includes support for VAST protocol , hybrid QC workflows , as well as enhanced support for HDR content , and audio language detection capabilities .

With an integrated content supply chain ecosystem like the Flex Media
|
Platform , media companies can harness the metadata that runs throughout all stages of operations to create and deliver the targeted content that they need today , said Ooyala .
The company has also collaborated with Avid to integrate the Flex Media Platform into Avid MediaCentral . This integration , according to both companies , empowers users with advanced metadata modeling using metadata aggregated from a variety of sources . Media assets can be transferred from cloud-based storage to existing Avid production environments .
For Avid , the company unveiled Avid On Demand , a cloud services and solutions platform that provides media production capabilities on-demand . Avid On Demand enables creative teams to manage and deliver content to any device anywhere , and empowers them to automate many content transformation and QC tasks , and auto-provision the level of cloud resources needed to complete a job .
