Media Supply Chain and Archive

Media Supply Chain manages and orchestrates several different media service technologies, data services, storage, and digital transport services for delivery through linear and non-linear distribution channels. Supply Chain includes solutions that take digital content and programming elements from one or more sources through an automated series of steps. These solutions typically include workflow orchestration and frequently involves both automated processing (transcode, QC, machine learning) and human touch services (visual QC)) being connected in series or parallel steps. The workload results in the processing of content for delivery to digital endpoints like local affiliates, social media, OTT endpoints, distributors and third parties. Automated and customizable workflows are part of the supply chain. Supply Chain also includes Asset Management systems (MAM, DAM, CMS) that track the location of and movement of assets between storage tiers, including to/from Archive.
