Leading Peruvian TV channel Latina upgrades with Woody Technologies IN2IT solutions
22. Apr 2022
April 22nd, 2022 | Latina installs IN2IT solutions for file and camera card ingest and social media search, ingest and transcode.
Woody Technologies announces that, after extensive testing, Latina has chosen three IN2IT solutions to enhance their media ingest workflows. The collaboration, initiated by Telefonica Services Audiovisuales as the system integrator, is part of a large ingest, graphics, MAM and NAS upgrade of their production and news departments. Facing a considerable increase in media content ingest as well as social media searches, Latina needed a technical partner that was capable of meeting their challenges. Woody Technologies has gone above and beyond by customizing some of the solutions’ features to fully meet Latina expectations.
Latina's first challenge was to speed up ingest times while implementing support of new codecs that were not available with their former ingest system. This included an additional requirement: to merge clips from many sources into a single clip. Operators also needed to preview the media and add custom metadata prior to ingest.
Latina chose IN2IT exchange, a multi-node ingest server farm that provides advanced media and metadata processing, and automated watch folder ingest from local and remote networks and cloud sources. IN2IT access floating-license clients were added to allow operator teams across production and news departments to preview the media, select sub-clips, stitch or merge clips and add custom metadata.
Latina also needed to simplify searches across social media sites in order for news and entertainment content to be used within broadcast shows, and to streamline the ingest to editorial.
They chose IN2IT social, which is used by many broadcast companies worldwide. IN2IT social helps search posts, videos and photos across different social media sites including YouTube, Twitter, VK and Vimeo as well retrieve from Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, Google Drive and more. IN2IT social will allow journalists and producers to search, preview and add custom metadata prior to delivery to their MAM system.
Aurélien Brelle, Woody Co-founder and Global Sales Manager, welcomes Latina: “The whole team at Woody is very happy that Latina chose three of our IN2IT solutions. We met during the evaluation period and delivered on many of their requirements. We can now welcome Latina to join our worldwide user group and as our first IN2IT client in Peru.”
Pavel Pacheco, TV Technology Manager at Latina, remarks on the characteristics of Woody Technologies’ solutions and on the team's commitment to the project: "After analysing and testing several brands, we opted for Woody because it is a scalable, intuitive and easy-to-use system that technically meets our requirements for change in our workflows. In addition, Woody has developed new features to technically and operationally adapt to our workflows."
