ETERE today announced that a modular enterprise-class solution has been implemented for VTVCab, Vietnam's largest cable network, demonstrating to be the sole solution in the market able to provide latest workflow-based technology for the tapeless creation, execution, monitoring and control of all activities of a broadcast station with the maximum flexibility, scalability and cost benefits.
MERP APPROACH
An Etere MERP approach has been deployed to provide a comprehensive system able to manage all activities of 5 VTVCab channels, from ingest to playout, content indexing and metadata insertion to scheduling, archiving to delivery:
■ Full digital ingest of media content
■ Integrated and highly effective QC workflows
■ Content indexing and metadata insertion
■ Planning and preview scheduled events
■ Redundant automation deployment
■ Automatic generation of proxy files for browsing
■ Nearline and deep archive storage for digitized content
■ Highly effective integration of post-production systems

Both ingest methods comprises a post-ingest workflow management that includes automatic/manual QC, proxy creation, etc.
