Parking and MatrixStore Provide New Edit
Sequence Archive and Restore Solution
Marquis Broadcast, specialist in content workflows and media
integration software, and Object Matrix, a developer of media
archive systems, have announced a joint technology partnership.
The two companies are providing a new cost-effective solution
for broadcast and post-production workflows, using Marquis’
Parking archive and retrieval software and Object Matrix’
MatrixStore near-line archive system. Powered by Marquis Broadcast’s
Media Highway Technology, the new development takes advantage
of Parking’s easy to use edit sequence archive and restore
functionality and MatrixStore’s secure, cost efficient
near-line storage.
Users are able to move entire sequences, including edit decisions,
subclips and metadata, from dedicated Avid or Final Cut Pro
storage to the MatrixStore environment in a simple one-click
process. No specialist knowledge of storage or archive management
systems is required. At any time in the future, sequences,
together with all metadata including essence and edit decisions,
can be retrieved and dropped directly into the editing system.
The joint development offers a number of significant benefits
to broadcasters and post-production companies, for example,
workflow efficiency and resource management are improved as
valuable online edit storage is freed up. The process of archiving
is fast and easy as Parking wraps the sequence elements and
metadata into a standard TAR file as they are transferred
to MatrixStore.
Similarly, the process of file restore is also fast and efficient
as Parking eliminates the need to re-ingest and conform media
before editing can begin. Furthermore, by providing easy access
to media, the Parking/MatrixStore system provides customers
with a very productive and flexible working environment. This
means that more time is made available for the creative processes
and therefore the final product is often of a higher quality.
“We are delighted to be working with Object Matrix,”
said Granby Patrick, Technology Director, Marquis Broadcast.
“Customers are always looking for ways to improve the
cost efficiency of their broadcast and creative workflows
while maintaining a flexible approach to resource management.
We believe that the Parking/MatrixStore solution will improve
workflow efficiency by simplifying the storage and retrieval
of content, giving users the ability to respond to their customers’
requirement quickly and easily.”
“Post Production companies, broadcasters and content
creators recognise the storage and asset management challenges
that exist when working with tapeless content. Online storage
infrastructures are put under huge strain, frequently suffering
from unacceptable drops in performance or at worst, complete
failure,” said Nicholas Pearce-Tomenius, co-founder,
Object Matrix.
“The integration between Marquis’ Parking system
and MatrixStore is a much needed development that enables
content to be moved with minimum effort. We are very excited
to be working with the Marquis team who, like Object Matrix,
are focused on creating solutions that solve real problems
faced by customers."
