SGL And Grass Valley Extend Partnership

Software Generation Ltd (SGL) is intending to further extend its technology partnership with Grass Valley, with the integration of the SGL FlashNet and Grass Valley’s production and content management toolset GV STRATUS via SGL’s XML API.
GV STRATUS is a non-linear production solution that aims to increase workflow efficiency by enabling users to work collaboratively and accomplish tasks in parallel.
The SGL integration provides access to the FlashNet archive from GV STRATUS allowing full support for GXF partial file restore.
Using SGL FlashNet, the backend archive appears as a seamless extension of all Grass Valley environments. The archive may comprise disk or tape storage, or a combination of these in an archive hierarchy, using rules-based SGL StorageManager to manage data lifecycle within the archive based on size, type, content or age.
For on-air, automation sees the SGL FlashNet archive as an extension of the Grass Valley server, and when a clip is required for playback it’s restored back to K2 Edge or K2 TX servers by selecting it in the playlist and choosing restore.
The same applies to the archive interface with GV STRATUS. Editors can select clips for archive or restore from the archive directly using the application. They can also view low-res proxies of material held in the archive, and mark in and out points to restore just a partial of the clip. All source time code data is preserved.
"We’re delighted to partner with SGL because the open system architecture of FlashNet makes it ideal for a smooth and seamless integration with GV STRATUS," said Mike Cronk, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Grass Valley.
"It’s important that we can offer our customers the flexibility of being able to restore even partial excerpts of clips, all within the interface of STRATUS. We look forward to showing visitors to our NAB booth the latest updates and functionality of GV STRATUS which make workflow efficiencies even greater."
Raj Patel, SGL’s Product Manager adds: "This latest integration with GV STRATUS highlights the flexibility of SGL’s XML API, which allows every major broadcast vendor to create integrated applications that can instantly access SGL’s content storage management system. Whatever the size or scope of the organisation, or specific Grass Valley equipment or solution, SGL FlashNet provides the ultimate in content archive and storage management, tightly integrated so that the user doesn’t even know it's there."
Grass Valley will be demonstrating GV STRATUS at NAB on booth SL206.
