With EDIUS, the news service benefits from an award-winning, multiformat software, ideally suited for news production, with real-time capabilities and format versatility.
"Innovation and evolution have never been so crucial in our industry than in the last year,” said Bharath K, CTO, ETV Bharat. “We pride ourselves on innovation, and the ETV Bharat service is a first-of-its-kind offering in India in terms of diversity and depth. To remain productive during the COVID-19 pandemic, we wanted to implement a reliable and trustworthy production and asset management solution that could enable our operators to work on-site and at home as needed.”
GV STRATUS manages media with speed top of mind in both on premise and remote broadcast applications. All ingested content is formatted in lower resolution proxy on the fly by STRATUS transcoders. For on premise use, ETV purchased 400 EDIUS Pro licenses for flexible, fast editing. 200 Remote users utilize EDIUS XS for secure editing via VPN and user access control while rendering their edits from the field.
