Rigid cost control, extensive approval processes to justify investments, while improving competitiveness without affecting regular operations. Sounds impossible?

Silex Media, a specialist in designing or delivering solutions that result in optimized broadcast workflows under given infrastructural and budgetary restrictions, is known for rapid impact engagements and long term relationships. To learn more about how to turn your investments into cost saving processes and revenue generators with tangible, short-term results: read below, or contact us.

Examples of rapid impact engagements

• Optimize media storage: migrating to a 2nd generation tapeless infrastructure, digitizing and sharing historical content – that create new revenue streams, migrate over 200TB from monolithic to distributed archive architecture with less support cost & risk and more scalability. Silex Media solved this for a Danish broadcaster with zero downtime for the existing workflows.
• Go tapeless: a French broadcaster looking to streamline workflows and technology, taking advantage of more distribution channels to stay ahead of the competition. Recently they asked Silex Media to design –in a short cycle– a phased approach that results in less tapes, better resource sharing, efficient use of new distribution channels and less outsourcing.
• Switch to HD: going HD does not mean replacing all equipment or workflow. Silex Media’s expertise in HD and production workflows allowed a German broadcaster to switch the production of a daily soap from SD to HD with a very tight deadline and minimal capex and opex impact, where corporate archive, content distribution and existing production tools were integrated.
• Leverage archive content: a US national broadcaster wanted to integrate a broadcast MAM with their standard enterprise archive. Silex Media, using special middleware and its MAM, broadcast and format expertise, turned it into a broadcast archive leveraging existing corporate IT infrastructure. As a result: less licenses and IT support required, and new revenue streams by being able to resell and reuse the archive content.

Another example of achieving a rapid impact is covered in Silex Media’s latest whitepaper: Broadcast production management minimises integration challenges. The whitepaper is available as a complimentary download.
