Marquis To Showcase Medway 4K Capability At IBC2016

Marquis Broadcast is to demonstrate the 4K capability of its Medway solution at this years IBC conference.

Combining more than 30 'best of breed' broadcast systems, Medway is a flexible media and metadata workflow automation solution.

Chris Steele, Managing Director of Marquis Broadcast, said: "At IBC this year we will be showing Medway's support for resolutions beyond HD which is an exciting development. Using 4K could require eight times more edit storage space than HD and so off-line work has become necessary. Medway generates an HD 'mezzanine' format of the required content for editing, then when the editor is ready to switch to 4K, Medway trims the 4K files to only the used frames with handles and delivers to the edit storage. This is a practical and real solution which saves space and therefore reduces the need to invest in additional edit storage.
"Complex workflows combined with a wide variety of formats can result in time consuming and repetitive operations. Medway provides transfer and format conversion workflows for video, audio, data and metadata, allowing for the exchange of media and metadata between broadcast systems in a fast, transparent and cost effective way, enabling its users to operate complete file based workflows in mixed format environments. Now with its support of 4K, users are offered further flexibility enabling them to focus on the process of media production and creativity while we take care of all the technical trickery."

Marquis Broadcast will be exhibiting on Stand 7.G05 at IBC2016.
