Customer Stories

TECHNICOLOR NETWORK SERVICES, JAPAN

In March this year, Technicolor Network Services, part of the Services division of Thomson, provided us with a major order for Medway and consultancy services. Technicolor Network Services will use Medway as the media highway component of a new postproduction archive integration project now being implemented in its network operations center in Tokyo.

“Medway is a very powerful and much-needed media exchange solution that supports the optimisation of our customers’ postproduction workflows in tapeless environments, without the worry of transferring files between different hardware platforms,” said Akey Hirano, general manager of the Technicolor Network Services facility in Tokyo.

Media files will be moved between Avid Unity, Front Porch DIVA Archive Control, Thomson Grass Valley Profile video servers, and an OmniBus Windows Media Proxy Shot Selector using Medway’s powerful exchange capabilities.

Medway will take edit decision lists (EDLs) generated within OmniBus, and move them into the Avid systems, while restoring the appropriate media from archive. Finished sequences will be published to the Profile video server and the OmniBus automation system for quality control and transmission.
