In the following you will find some typical applications of how the
Workflow system is used by our customers in the media industry today.
However, many further employment scenarios are conceivable as a Workflow
System is, in principle, neutral with respect to application or industry
and only becomes concrete through implementation.
Broadcasting
- In particular, television studios face huge changes of their production
methods. While so far mostly analog tapes and specialized machines have
been used, the progress in the computer industry in the last years
increasingly made work more efficient, digital and file based. Thus, work
steps move together and, through integration, production processes work
faster and better.
The Workflow System supports these new processes by integrating them
smoothly and flexibly, increasing their transparency and leaving more
time for all parties concerned for their actual work.
Post Production
- In postproduction audio and video content is reworked after a
production, for example cutting, converting or providing it with
effects. In pre-processing content can also be qualitatively revised.
The Workflow system supports these activities by scheduling machines and
co-workers as well as making it possible to write invoices, in
accordance with the cause of cost, which are transparent to customers
and co-workers alike.
Pre-Mastering / Authoring
- Pre-Mastering involves creating prototypes of certain carriers like CDs,
DVDs, UMDs or Blu-ray discs, which are then duplicating for the mass-market. These
partially very complex production processes must be steered and
supported as efficiently as possible. In particular quality management
plays an important role, because once a master has been copied, errors
that have not been detected usually become very expensive.
The Workflow system steers the entire production process with workflows
perfectly adapted to the organization and permanent supervision of times
and quality.
Digitization
- For content owners like movie and music studios it is becoming
increasingly important to digitize content, which is still located on
analog data carriers in order to 1) rescue that content from the ongoing
decay and 2) to put it at the disposal of the current production
processes.
The Workflow system supports and steers these simple, but extraordinary
numerous operational sequences, by routing machines and giving the
co-workers the correct forms when needed.
