Introducing VidiFlow [VF 20.2 UG]
With an increasingly competitive landscape, ever-growing cost pressure and changing viewer behavior and expectations, today's broadcasters and media houses face tough challenges. They need to be able to adapt their workflows in an agile way, and infrastructures, such as media asset management systems, need to accommodate new requirements both quickly and cost effectively. In this respect, big, complex and monolithic systems, along with the typical vendor lock-in, which suffer from complex rollouts to scaling and updating, are unable to offer enough flexibility to provide practical solutions.
In return, the content management backend "VidiFlow" is the Vidispine answer to these challenges. VidiFlow is a modern media asset management which follows the microservice approach, offering REST APIs and designed as a cloud-native solution.
Designed with versatility as one of its core strengths, VidiFlow provides a robust and customizable object and metadata repository along with a BPMN workflow and rule engine to orchestrate 3rd party systems. On top, VidiFlow offers connectors for many broadcast specific systems on the market out-of-the-box.
