Virage reveal new VS Production video solution

Virage Inc have introduced a new solution – the VS Production - to automate and streamline professional video production.
The new software from Virage streamlines the video production workflow from content acquisition to distribution. By automating acquisition and providing desktop access to frame-accurate, low-resolution video, VS Production helps broadcasters and other video professionals to reduce operating costs, improve programming quality, and speed time to air.
Dave Girouard, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Strategy for Virage said: "Many facilities are transitioning to server-based video. But most have yet to enjoy the benefits that a managed digital environment can offer. We've put together a simple, elegant and cost-effective content management solution that is the foundation of a networked production environment."
VS Production begins by centralising and automating the acquisition of incoming video content, whether from tape, satellite feed or digital transmission. Using the Virage SmartEncode process, content is simultaneously indexed and encoded into frame-accurate MPEG-1 and broadcast-quality MPEG-2. Next, VS Production provides browser-based search and review of all available content, including desktop access to frame-accurate MPEG-1. In addition, the software allows any user to assemble and preview frame-accurate playlists right from the desktop.
Playlists can then be exported as an edit decision list (EDL) to a variety of popular edit systems. After editing, finished content packages can be added to the system for final review and approval.
Based on the award-winning Virage Rich Media Application Platform, VS Production is scalable and reliable, meeting the rigorous demands of 24/7 professional video environments.
Virage also announced support for the Grass Valley Group ContentShare platform for distributed media asset management. Support for ContentShare ensures that the new Virage software is compatible with a variety of Grass Valley products as well as those of other ContentShare-compliant vendors.
