TMD To Debut Version 2 Of i-Mediaflex At NAB

A specialist in the development and delivery of solutions and services via its Mediaflex system, which enables media organisations to manage both the physical media and digital file-based content with their associated workflows, TransMedia Dynamics (TMD), has announced that it will debut Version 2 of its web-based, enterprise-wide i-Mediaflex architecture at NAB 2009.
Making it possible to extend access to content and metadata throughout a broadcast organisation, the latest version of i-Mediaflex arrives at NAB 2009 with powerful new functionality and a redesigned Graphical User Interface (GUI) using the latest technologies, including Microsoft's Silverlight.
User from both inside and outside an enterprise can use i-Mediaflex to examine content and workflows from any available desktop browser - PC or MAC. This enables users, including Legal, Sales, Program Planning and Traffic departments, to see content as it flows through a facility and enable anyone with access rights to use workflows for processes such as Post Production, Dub Ordering, Subtitling, Close Captioning and Audio Dubbing.
At NAB 2009, TMD will highlight further Mediaflex developments designed to achieve efficient high-throughput media production as well as significant advancements in process integration including enhancements to its Mediaflex ingest module, which makes ingest in any form far more efficient and less labour intensive. In addition, material gathered via Mediaflex may be made immediately available for editing and insertion into bulletins or programs.
Mediaflex Ingest now provides one of the most comprehensive solutions for digitising content; from a single item/single format through to batch ingest in multiple formats and has enabled our customers to simultaneously digitise in HD formats along with the existing SD and Browse copies. Mediaflex Ingest supports a range of popular encoders including Omneon's Spectrum and MediaDeck, AmberFin ICR and IPV's nSpectre.
TMD is now integrated with additional popular products such as Avid Interplay (Post); Anystream Agility and AmberFin ICR (Content Repurposing); Harris QUIC and Tektronix's Cerify (Assisted QC); Pilat Media IBMS (Channel Management) and Harrid D Series (Automation).
In addition to the extensive list of workflows that Mediaflex already supports, TMD has added a significant number of new workflows that are supported including HD Ingest, Remote Editing, Assisted QC, Audio Ingest, Audio Track Stacking, Audio QC, Remote Subtitling, Data Tape Externalisation and Outgest.
