Faster time to air, automatically preparing assets for edit and playout.

The partnership with DAVID Systems has resulted in the transfer of the Hydrogen products to DAVID Systems. The Hydrogen products continue to play a big role in the workflow solutions provided by Silex Media.

Media Acceleration

To speed up the whole workflow the Hydrogen modules enable editing-during-ingest. Material can be ingested ingest from various sources including file, media server, NLE, scheduled feeds and VTRs. While ingesting proxy editing tools can generate EDLs which are sent to the NLEs for craft editing on hires material or to playout servers for immediate transmission.
