Workflow Engine:

NETIA Workflow Engine has a user friendly interface. It allows defining one or several chained actions to set up different workflows. These actions will be automatically executed even if they are related to heterogeneous systems (HSM systems for archiving, editing solutions for post-production, speech-to-text solutions, content publishing to Web sites, mobile platforms, VOD, and many more).

c) OpenNET

U-Share:

NETIA's U-Share network management system, as part of the company's OpenNet TM Range, has been integrated into Radio-Assist TM

U-Share automates the exchange of content over the latest transmission platforms - IP transport or DVB video transport - for easy management of content distribution to the right place, at the right time. Other content exchanges can be organized according to priority with flexible options for setting and modifying transmission schedules. U-Share optimizes the exchange of video and audio content through autonomous and automatic management of its transport network. For each transfer request in a given time slot, U-Share offers the best solution for the current network congestion, thus considerably reducing transfer costs.

NodalMaster:

Also as part of the OpenNet TM Range, NETIA will be highlighting its NodalMaster full-featured software solution for controlling all the routing and processing equipment in a nodal suite, from audio and video program schedules to audio and video tuning equipment, monitoring devices, etc. NodalMaster provides users with a single interface for controlling all this equipment while enabling them to make links or switching from any source to any target.

IP Server Modules:

In the spotlight at the BroadcastAsia 2009 show are NETIA's new IP Recorder and IP Player modules for OpenNet TM. These two new software modules allow OpenNET users to simplify the acquisition and distribution of IP-based content.

The IP Recorder and IP Player modules reduce the complexity of taking SDI video from the camera to editing by eliminating the need for a video server. A simple file server and a facility's existing architecture can instead be leveraged for acquisition and delivery of digital video. The IP Recorder streamlines acquisition of SDI content, accepting the encoded IP stream and delivering media to the file server, where it is available for editing, archiving, and autoindexation. The elimination of the video recorder, video grid, and video encoder reduces overall costs and supports a fast, completely digital workflow with more timely delivery of rushes and replays of live content with delay. A simple computer system can be used for review and quality control.
