SGL Announces Deal With Russian Broadcaster

Archive and storage specialist Software Generation Ltd (SGL), has announced a new deal with Russian broadcaster VGTRK.
The installation was carried out as part of the workflow integration between Avid's Interplay media production and MAM system and SGL's FlashNet archive.
Prior to installing SGL FlashNet, VGTRK had used a manual process based around tape and data workflows. Now the network has been fitted with an end-to-end tapeless workflow, tightly integrated with the Avid Interplay and SGL FlashNet solutions.
The workflow enables operators to send material directly to the SGL archive using Avid production tools, or to define automatic rules in the Avid Interplay system requesting material to be archived.
Operators can restore material directly using the Avid production tools or partially restore content such as short 10 or 20 second clips from any SGL archived material.
Raj Patel, SGL's Product Manager said: "SGL and Avid have enjoyed a close working relationship for many years and we're delighted to announce this sale as part of our integration with Interplay. Our content storage management solutions are built around open system architecture designed to enable seamless integration of the archive with all other systems in a customer's installation, regardless of their size, operations or workflows. This ensures that the archive appears as a transparent storage area available to every user in all departments from within their day-to-day applications."
