Pioneering Vidispine Technology Revolutionizes News Production
- Faster turnaround times and immediate availability of content without time-consuming rendering
- Efficient collaboration of multiple users on the same content from anywhere
- Big launch and live demos for the first time at the International Broadcast Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam in September 2024
Gütersloh – Leading provider of media management solutions, the Vidispine team at Arvato Systems has announced the launch of a new 'Web Render Engine' (WRE). This ground-breaking technology eliminates the need for video rendering, taking news production efficiency to a new level.
The Challenge
In the fast-paced and dynamic world of news production, every second counts. Breaking news and emerging events require a fast turnaround to keep audiences informed and engaged.
Rendering times in non-linear editing systems (NLEs) can significantly hinder modern news production workflows. Journalists and editors often need to make quick changes, such as cutting clips, adding transitions, or adjusting audio levels. These edits usually require rendering to create a broadcast-ready result. Delays caused by long rendering times can lead to missing crucial news cycles and hinder team collaboration.
The "Renderless Revolution"
With Vidispine's Web Render Engine (WRE), content can be efficiently stored and edited without having to render individual sequences. This technology allows multiple editors to work on the same content simultaneously, regardless of their location. The immediate availability of edited sequences without rendering significantly speeds up the entire production process.
For fast-moving workflows such as news production, sequences can even be played out directly to video servers via SDI, NDI, and SMPTE 2110/2022-6 without the need for rendering or file movement.
Official Launch with Live Demos at IBC 2024
"Launching our Web Render Engine is a milestone in news production. This groundbreaking technology will increase efficiency and enable media professionals to create content faster and more flexibly. We look forward to presenting and demonstrating the future of media production live at IBC," says Stefan Eckardt, Head of Portfolio in the Vidispine team at Arvato Systems.
Interested parties will experience the innovation in live demos at this year's International Broadcast Convention (IBC) zu erleben. The Vidispine team will have its own stand at the show from September 13 to 16. Advance appointments can now be booked here.
