Successfully shaping technological change in the media industry

The media industry is constantly evolving. We monitor relevant innovations and support companies with in-depth expertise to tackle important challenges in a targeted manner

From topic to story to distribution

Cross-media news planning

Editorial teams must be able to react quickly to news situations and publish stories easily via all distribution channels. Organizational and technical boundaries between the various planning units are an obstacle to this. Instead, workflows and information flows from planning to material acquisition to content creation must be integrated with one another in a meaningful way.

We bundle planning forces and create transparency on topics and stories

Networked Media

Networked Media

From contribution to production and distribution, the areas are not only growing together organisationally, but also technically. SMPTE ST 2110, among others, is omnipresent and promises more flexible solutions with simultaneous cost savings. In order to utilise this potential, a networked view of the functional technical requirements together with the end-to-end workflows is necessary.

Our experts provide support with in-depth knowledge of media networks and SMPTE ST 2110 as well as an eye for the big picture

PoC / Laboratory / Pilot

We provide technical and project management expertise to support the testing of SMPTE ST 2110, for example, from target definition to detailed planning and maintenance of the measurement manual

Concept / Future-proof system landscape

SRT, ST 2110 or NDI after all? And what about monitoring and IT security? We help you classify your requirements and work with you to develop your concept for a future-proof networked system landscape

Invitation to tender

With our experience in EU tenders in both the production and media network environment, we are at your side for your projects. From the development of requirements and tender documents to the awarding and implementation of contracts – we support you throughout the entire process.

System Check

Spotlight test management

Ready To Flight.

In over 100 technical implementations in the broadcast environment, we have found that insufficient attention is often paid to the preparation and implementation of appropriate test management for new or updated software solutions and when determining the technical operational readiness of complex installations. This can result in critical defects being discovered late and even a postponed go-live date.

The aim of test management is to ensure quality and safety

From the requirement to the test case

We show how effective test cases can be derived from well-formulated requirements

Organize test environment

We present how test teams are organized and how test cases are consistently recorded and sustainably managed

Implementation

Using practical examples, we demonstrate which software tools provide optimum support for the planning, implementation and evaluation of test management
