Download free whitepaper: cost-effective production

Silex Media's whitepaper titled Broadcast production management minimises integration challenges was featured in the 2009 Broadcast & Media Technology Industry Guide, an IABM Sourcebook. You can download this whitepaper for free from this website.

"To explore how broadcasters can stay focused on their core business while incorporating new technologies, we will explain how a production specialist trained in systems integration can maximize the creation, scheduling, distribution, and archiving of content in a modern production environment and provide an example of a small but nevertheless highly efficient production management system. "

Included is a case study that looks at how Dutch public broadcaster EO created a cost-effective production platform:

"Dutch public broadcaster EO has seven Final Cut Pro editing suites that are all clients on a production XSAN as well as many licenses on laptop systems. Because the program production environment exclusively uses Apple's Final Cut Pro, which does not support the MXF wrapper format but only QuickTime, the challenge for EO was to integrate this seamlessly into the wider MXF based environment they share with the other public broadcasters in the Netherlands.
