Bergen, Norway, March 28, 2011, Vizrt Ltd. (Oslo Main List: VIZ)
Vizrt, a leading provider of digital media software for the TV and online
publishing industries, announced today that Central European Media Enterprises
(CME), the largest multinational media company in Central and Eastern Europe,
has chosen Vizrt's Ardome media asset management (MAM) software to store and
manage its HD and SD video content across its entire group of TV channels, which
address an audience of more than 50 million consumers in six countries.
"We have selected Viz Ardome after extensive research and testing of media asset
management systems available for the complex workflow at CME stations. We are
absolutely sure that we have made the perfect choice", said Claudiu Paraschiv,
CME's Head of TV Technology.
Martin Burkhalter, CEO of Vizrt, stated, "We feel it's quite telling that, after
carefully comparing our system with several others, such an important customer
has chosen Vizrt's technology solution to look after their valuable video
content for the entire group. This project is further proof that our MAM system
is best in class. Customers producing and working with video always highly
appreciate Ardome's ease of use and the time savings due to its efficient
workflow. Furthermore, this being one of the largest MAM deals to date gives a
good indication of the increasing awareness with broadcasters of the importance
of managing their key assets."
The project consists of six Viz Ardome systems, one for each country CME is
present in; Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Romania, Slovakia, and
Slovenia. Users can search, browse, rough-edit and move video and associated
metadata between any CME station. Searching can be done in all local languages,
and can be limited to the internal storage sources with specific local stations,
or it can be extended to encompass CME's entire archive.
