Marquis Broadcast and Tyrell CCT Demonstrate Improved Efficiencies for File-Based Workflows at BVE 2010.

Pangbourne, 15 February 2010, www.marquisbroadcast.com: Marquis Broadcast, specialist in content workflows and media integration software, and Tyrell CCT have signed a partnership agreement enabling them to work together to integrate Marquis’ Medway media transfer and format conversion software with a range of file-based broadcast and post production systems. As a result of the agreement, Tyrell CCT will showcase Medway at BVE 2010 to demonstrate the ease with which media can be moved efficiently and seamlessly between systems from different manufacturers.

At the show, Tyrell CCT will demonstrate how Medway creates powerful workflows and metadata integration between Avid editing systems, Interplay, Final Cut Pro and other file based production systems including Isilon storage systems and Grab Networks.

Also on the stand, Marquis Broadcast will highlight the benefits of its Parking and Bridging products. Parking provides a simple and fast 'one click' method of moving sequences from dedicated editing storage to archive or generic low-cost storage. Bridging provides a simple method for Apple Final Cut Pro and Avid editors to exchange timelines between systems thereby improving workflow flexibility in digital post and broadcast environments.

“By integrating Medway with a range of broadcasting and digital post applications, customers have more flexibility in their digital processes to use best of breed systems in the knowledge that they will work together in a highly efficient and reliable environment irrespective of file formats and system architectures,” said Nick Soper, Technical Director UK, Tyrell CCT. “Medway also gives customers the freedom to scale workflows to their requirements to meet today’s critical business-driven challenges.”

"We are very pleased to be working with Tyrell CCT,” said Granby Patrick, Partner Director, Marquis Broadcast. “They have a deep understanding of the benefits gained from implementing file-based workflows and have the knowledge and experience to create tight integration between the networked production systems demanded broadcasters and post-production companies.”

Medway provides interoperability functions for media companies that require fast, efficient digital workflows, without incurring delays that frequently occur when media moves between systems from different manufacturers. By rewrapping files and handling metadata, Medway allows media to be transferred quickly and easily between processes. The system extracts and manages the metadata attached to media, therefore enabling easy repurposing of content.
