(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Leading Global Entertainment and Media Company Relies on Aspera to Deliver
Comedy Programming to Its Distribution Partners
ARMONK, N.Y., April 8, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IBM today announced that
Broadway Video has selected Aspera, an IBM company, as the exclusive provider of
high-speed file transfer solutions for bi-coastal production and content
distribution to VOD and OTT providers. By significantly reducing the time it
takes to produce and transfer content, Broadway Video can expand viewing options
and quickly deliver new and previously broadcast material to millions worldwide.
Established in 1979 in New York's historic Brill Building, Broadway Video has
grown into an independent studio that produces and distributes original comedic
content. To expand viewing, Broadway Video intends to improve the movement of
content between its production studios in Los Angeles and New York to accelerate
delivery to VOD and OTT providers.
Broadway Video selected a suite of high-speed transfer, management, and
automation software from Aspera to advance its production and distribution
capabilities. The deployment is centered on Aspera Shares and faspex(TM)
transport technology. Aspera Shares consolidates access and browsing for
projects across L.A. and N.Y. production locations with a powerful and flexible
security model combining authorization, user management, and access control. The
easy-to-use web interface provides transparent access to content regardless of
location. Aspera faspex enables ad-hoc ingest during on-location shoots, and
final digital package delivery to distribution platforms.
"Using Aspera allows us to complete and deliver shows to our distribution
partners faster than ever before, so our audiences can view their favorite shows
as quickly as possible after airing. Plus, Aspera makes it easier for our
creative teams in L.A. and N.Y. to collaborate on projects, reducing turnaround
times and increasing productivity," said Robert Weigand, COO Post
Production/Director of Information Technology & Digital at Broadway Video.
