The Newsroom is now managed by ENPS, which interfaces Etere via MOS. Etere uses its new IT-based MTX solution for both ingest and news playout. Etere MTX will simplify the overall Gramedia system management for operators, giving them a single and real-time encoding for both HD and low resolution files, and making them able to create real-time both hi-res and low-res frame synchronized. Gramedia has chosen Etere Hi-Res Transcoder solution for a complete file-based process. The media trascoding process is based on ETERE Hi-Res Transcoder, which allows converting from any to any format; including major file-based management functions such as audio normalization and video standard conversion. The daily schedule transmitted by Gramedia is sent to Etere MAM that will feed the automation with the correct files. The traffic system will be informed of any changes via the SOA service from ETERE. For Etere, the winning of this tender is an important step towards its consolidation in the Indonesian broadcast market.
