Pebble Beach And Mantrics Digital Provide Flexible Workflow At IBC

Broadcast automation specialists Pebble Beach Systems and Mantrics Digital Video, a leading provider of broadcast workflow management solutions, will be demonstrating the close integration of their Marina automation and Workflow Manager products at this year's IBC on Stand 8.B58.
Pebble Beach Systems' Marina is a powerful enterprise level automation solution which is highly configurable to address the changing operational and business requirements of today's broadcaster. With the facility to offer a very high density of channels, and a powerful playlist engine which allows for exceptionally short clip playback, operators are able to handle very high volumes of complex media and metadata.
Peter Hajittofi, Pebble Beach Systems Managing Director, confirmed: "The system is elegantly scalable up to hundreds of channels and was designed to address teh business needs of broadcasters who have a fluid and varied set of content delivery requirements, giving them an almost infinite variety of configuration options. Marina offers close integration with Pebble Beach Systems' own Media Management system for file-based workflows and direct nearline and data tape library archive control."
Announcing the collaboration, Mantrics Digital Video's CEO, Claudio Mattei, explained: "Our flagship Workflow Manager product exploits the capabilities of Marina to dynamically track and display the status of all content, giving direct visibility into the all of the resources within the system and making the process highly traceable and transparent.
"It enhances Pebble Beach Systems' own workflow tools within the Marina environment, enabling users to view content at every stage of the workflow from ingest to delivery. Operators have visibility of where content is in the preparation process and can be sure that the correct version is being prepared for playout. We're delighted to be working with Pebble Beach Systems to deliver this comprehensive and user-friendly solution."
As a powerful web-based solution for media asset management (MAM), workflow automation and project planning, the Workflow Manager also enables broadcasters to control and technical and human resources. Mantrics Digital Video will be giving full demonstration of the system on Stand 7.A09 at IBC in Amsterdam.
