According to the manufacturers, the aim of the agreement is to facilitate the seamless exchange of content in professional broadcasting through a high level of compatibility among technology, software and media-asset-management platforms.
This worldwide partnership is intended to advance the development of specialised players and new interfaces between P2-enabled Panasonic hardware and GlobeCast software and MSP, allowing larger broadcasting companies to benefit from a unified technology environment in future.
In news production, the product synergies resulting from the partnership between the two companies will, for example, enable users of P2 camcorders to feed footage directly into a GlobeCast distribution platform at the television studio. Through continuous development of this technology partnership, GlobeCast MSP will go a step further and in future be able to read and extract metadata packaged in P2 files, allowing it to be added to an intelligent database and automatically linked to associated video content. The result is an extremely efficient workflow chain from acquisition through worldwide distribution and archiving.
GlobeCast’s Media Sharing Platforms combine the company’s particular expertise in core networks, content acquisition and delivery with advanced media-asset-management software and the integrated Archive Manager from subsidiary NETIA.
By simplifying the cataloguing, indexing, archiving, access and distribution of media content, the software enables significant productivity gains in asset management and the use of rich-media content, whether for broadcasting or reuse and publication via platforms such as web portals and mobile devices.
When working with Panasonic P2 cameras in combination with the global GlobeCast MSP, camera operators will in future be able to mark key files and scenes with special symbols, allowing the production team to identify important scenes quickly and save time in post-production.
Because the camera can transmit in/out points, playlists and low-resolution proxy versions before the high-resolution video recordings, producers can make optimal use of available bandwidth, quickly create rough cuts or Edit Decision Lists (EDLs), or publish video catalogues with only minimal delay.
