Vidispine, Arvato Systems has recently announced that has received an Emmy Award for Technology & Engineering from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS). This year’s 73rd Edition Committee recognized Arvato Systems’ Vidispine solution for remote editing in the cloud.

The prize recognize developments or standardization that refers to engineering technologies that either represent an improvement or are of such an innovative nature that they have materially affected television.

The solution enables customers to work in a cloud enabled production workflow without file conversions or transfers. It allows MPEG-Dash streaming of h.264 files, and transforms “the cloud” from a pure storage and compute infrastructure to a post-production facility. It has features from frame-accurate playback, over growing file support to complex EDLs (Editing decision lists) playback including video and audio effects.

Karsten Schragmann, Head of Product Management of the Vidispine portfolio at Arvato Systems, commented: “It is an honor to receive this accolade. For us it underscores the Arvato Systems Vidispine team’s commitment and expertise for pioneering streaming technology that promotes cost efficient, cloud enabled remote production and editing for media enterprises. We’d like to share this award with the team who have made this possible, and our customers who have supported us and our technology all the way through.”

Nicolas Ley, Vice President of Vidispine at Arvato Systems commented: “From entertainment to industry, video is everywhere, with more people than ever creating video content that puts a heavy demand on the underlying platforms. For our customers who need to quickly turn raw content into compelling stories, having easy access to technology that supports this, wherever they are, is paramount. It’s why our approach focuses on orchestrating and integrating the seamless workflows they need to bring value.”
