Case study
A leading sports media organization embarked on a landmark technology initiative to create a cutting-edge production facility designed to support broadcast, digital, and multimedia content at scale. This facility manages vast volumes of live and recorded media, demanding fast access, rapid turnaround, and seamless collaboration across distributed editorial and production teams. At the heart of this media ecosystem is VidiNet's cloud-ready media asset management platform, built to effortlessly ingest, organize, and deliver content into production and postproduction workflows with minimal latency—ensuring every story reaches audiences quickly and efficiently.
- Instant availability of ingested media
The organization required all captured media—from studio productions to live feeds—to be available to editors and production teams within seconds of ingest, enabling rapid creation of highlights, clips, and editorial packages. - Seamless integration with production infrastructure
The media asset management system needed to plug directly into a high-performance IP-based backend infrastructure that supports modern, flexible formats and workflows. Media had to be accessible across facilities and for remote work, without bottlenecks. - Import sports data from various sources and match to content
Sports tracking and game data—including high-level stats and real-time feeds—needed to be ingested from multiple sources and mapped directly to video to enrich content summaries and drive monetization across use cases. - Scalability for future formats and distribution channels
Supporting 4K, HDR, and flexible output formats, the organization sought a future-proof solution that could scale with new media standards and expanding content libraries. - Distributed editing and workflow flexibility
With high content volumes and diverse production teams, the platform needed to enable remote editing and distributed access—allowing editors to work from anywhere without disrupting workflows.
The answer to these challenges was a cloud-capable media asset management platform delivered through Vidispine’s VidiNet ecosystem. This platform was selected and deployed to underpin the organization’s end-to-end media lifecycle.
-
Rapid ingest and availability:
Media from across production systems was ingested into VidiNet and made available to editors in under 60 seconds, enabling near-real-time collaboration. -
Integrated postproduction workflow:
TVidiNet offered a powerful editing suite with distributed workstations that accessed content directly—on-site or remotely—boosting both editorial efficiency and flexibility. -
Scalable media management:
VidiNet’s architecture seamlessly integrated with the facility’s high-throughput production network, data stores, and asset repository, making media fully searchable and easily structured for rapid reuse and repurposing. -
Future-ready infrastructure support:
With a design compatible with emerging broadcast standards and workflows — including higher resolutions and immersive audio formats — the platform provided a foundation for scaling operations over time.
The deployment of VidiNet delivered significant operational value:
-
Dramatically improved time to first edit:
By automating ingest and indexing, editorial teams could access newly captured media almost instantly, cutting down production lags and accelerating content delivery cycles. -
Enhanced collaboration and remote work support:
The platform’s remote access capabilities meant production and editorial staff were no longer constrained by physical location, supporting flexible work models and broader collaboration. -
Scalable production workflows:
The solution’s modular, API-enabled structure allowed it to integrate with other systems and services, paving the way for future automation, AI-enhanced processing, and metadata-driven workflows.
By implementing Vidispine’s VidiNet media asset management platform at the core of its production ecosystem, the organization achieved rapid media availability, integrated workflows, and a scalable foundation for future innovation. The platform effectively addressed the needs of a cutting-edge media operation handling thousands of hours of content — significantly enhancing production efficiency and flexibility.
