Latest News

[Satellite TODAY 09-14-12] Harris Broadcast Communications has received an order for advanced digital asset management (DAM) technology from Infront Italy, which will use the equipment to provide highlights from Italian football league matches in HD, Harris announced Sept. 14.
Infront Italy customers can view the highlights on their mobile phones, PDAs and laptops within minutes of the live event. Infront Italy is contracted by the Italian football leagues to provide domestic media outlets with highlights for news purposes in compliance with the Italian law. The broadcasters can select interesting action during a live match streaming and will receive that content rapidly from the system for their own personalized editing.

“We went to Harris with a business requirement — create an overall archive of Italian football league matches which could serve Infront’s multifaceted needs in terms of live, near live and delayed audio-visual material supplies,” Infront Italy Director of Production and Technical Facilities Claudio Cavallotti said in a statement. “The Harris workflow made this project possible. Invenio DAM is managing the content from our Infront digital archive, based on a large Isilon cluster. It is an elegant and powerful media management tool that supports the exploitation of our valuable archive.”
