IPV Reports 'Strongest Ever' IBC

Cambridge-based media asset and metadata management technology supplier IPV has reported its "strongest ever" IBC following new business and international industry awards.

Together with Ontario-based Groupe Média TFO (TFO), IPV won second prize in the Content Management Category of the show's IBC Innovation Awards. IPV also announced it has been selected by UK-based SI dB Broadcast to supply MAM systems to be used within a production and transmission facility for the Services Sound and Vision Corporation (SSVC).
Speaking at the close of this year's event, IPV's CEO David Cole said: "Metadata management and data governance remained a key topic of conversation both on and off the stand. Tools such as IPV Metadata Central drive live and non-live logging infrastructures, ensuring users are always presented with a consistent suite of annotation tools that create a centralised repository metadata with a controlled and valid metadata set. What we demonstrated was that this combination of technologies is ideally suited to the complex nature of Sports, S&P, Creative Services and Reality TV."
IPV and TFO have created a strategy for migrating away from linear TV, adding online and mobile services to the Canadian broadcaster's new multi-platform offering.
TFO has positioned IPV's Curator real-time Media Asset Management system at the heart of its new network-based production and distribution architecture.
"IPV's technology enables us to speed up the production process," commented Éric Minoli, Chief Technology & Optimization Officer at TFO. "It allows us to implement big storage on six Isilon NAS servers. By automating the management and movement of content, it takes away a lot of technology barriers. Over the last year the push has been to increase output by 50 – 100%. That was why we had to find a better way of working, and with IPV we have achieved it."
"The creative inspiration of this ambitious project has been recognised through this second place award," beamed David Cole. "We are proud to have progressed so far within this award: together with TFO, we have demonstrated that with appropriate technology and expert support teams you can achieve a great deal without investing a King's ransom."
