Having successfully managed the transition from a pure component supplier to an end-to-end solution provider and system integrator for digital conversation projects, SGI earlier launched the SGI Open Broadcast Initiative. This Initiative enables broadcasters to move away from proprietary-designed vertical solutions and to adopt the best-of-breed applications and solutions in their transition from analog to digital infrastructures—handling vast amounts of data more efficiently and cost-effectively and allowing for the ingestion, sharing and storage of content within and between facilities at speeds faster than real-time.
