Overview Medway is a sophisticated
software tool delivering a seamless and cost-effective integration between
leading broadcast content applications. Medway unifies multi-vendor workflows
because the technology optimizes and integrates;
 1. Media clip and
sequence transfers
 2. Media format conversion and transcoding
 3. Metadata capture
and integration
 The Solution
 Complex digital
workflows are hampered by expensive and repetitive operations brought on by
file incompatibilities. Medway, the companys flagship product, uses an
intuitive drag and drop interface which allows for the exchange of media
between a wide range of Best of Breed broadcast systems in a transparent and
user friendly way.
 Medway can be described as an "interoperability engine" that
enables a complete digital workflow, ensuring products such as
Edit Platforms, either standalone or using Shared
Storage, such as Unity, ISIS, Lanshare, Interplay or XSAN and third-party
Video Servers can work seamlessly together.
 However, Medway offers much more power and
flexibility and can be connected to Media Asset Management systems. It can source
reference edits from Browse Systems, integrate with
Archive Management systems and can supply file
registration to, or be directly controlled by,
Automation Systems. All these features can be
customised to suit the requirements for specific workflow or business
solutions.
 Medway is also
compatible with
Removable Media devices thus ensuring maximum
benefits are derived from the whole capture to playout
process.
