ITV has partnered with\u00a0Avid<\/u><\/a>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0(Nasdaq: AVID) to deliver\u00a0leading edge functionality\u00a0in its news editing, storage and publishing systems for both\u00a0ITV Regional News and ITV National News, through a new subscription deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ITV News is the largest commercial news broadcaster in the UK, producing national and regional news bulletins on terrestrial TV and online through ITVX, for both live streaming and catch-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ITV News is the brand name used by ITV for its daily news programmes. ITV produces its content for Nations and Regions, with ITN (part-owned by ITV) producing its National Network service. ITN also produces news programming for Channel 4 and Channel 5 in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new subscription agreement will see Avid deliver an upgraded newsroom production system to serve ITV News\u2019 entire output across all its locations and services, supporting ITV News broadcast services along with its online service, ITVX. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While enabling story and rundown-based outputs, the project will offer a single consistent interface to key news production roles, and allow teams to freely create, collaborate and exchange planning data, stories, rundowns and content across all ITV regions and ITN. The new system ensures reliability, which is paramount to ITV\u2019s operation, and gives ITV\u2019s editors, producers, journalists, assistants and other workflow contributors continuous access to the latest Avid functionality from wherever they choose to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ITV will benefit from Avid\u2019s full suite of newsroom solutions on a subscription basis. These include Avid\u00a0NEXIS<\/u><\/a>\u00ae F-Series storage,\u00a0MediaCentral<\/u><\/a>™ | Production Management,\u00a0\u00a0MediaCentral™ |\u00a0Newsroom Management (iNEWS\u00ae) and\u00a0FastServe\u00ae | I\/O<\/u><\/a>\u00a0to deliver media ingest and playout.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video editing is available through\u00a0Avid\u00a0Media Composer<\/u><\/a>\u00ae\u00a0hosted in ITV\u2019s datacentre, allowing newsroom editors to connect and work remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offering full functionality via a web interface, the system will also make it easier for production teams to share news content for broadcast. Avid has integrated solutions from its alliance partners Woody and Traco for ingest and graphics too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ITV News\u2019 Director of Technology and Technical Operations Paul Stevenson explains, \u201cWe’re delighted Avid is delivering a newsroom production system to meet the demands of our news production operation. Common access and free exchange of media across our entire news estate is the key objective of this investment, which represents a major strategic commitment for ITV News. We continue working with Avid to enable key functionalities for our fully integrated workflow across National and Regional ITV News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe first stage of this project is complete, with ITV\u2019s National news service now on air with the new system based in Grays Inn Road, London. We look forward to a successful completion of the ambitious next stage – the successful rollout of the new system across all our Nations and Regions across the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon Roberts, Director of Technology, Production and Innovation, ITN adds, \u201cWe have been delighted to collaborate with ITV and Avid on the design and implementation of this new platform at the heart of ITN\u2019s news services. It will deliver significant improvements in media sharing, interconnectivity and accessibility on day one. We are equally excited about the potential it brings for the continuous improvement of our news production workflows over the life of the system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avid\u2019s Chief Revenue Officer Tom Cordiner adds, \u201cWe appreciate\u00a0broadcasters have a lot of vendor choice, so we\u2019re delighted ITV has elected to partner with Avid. We believe their decision demonstrates the popularity and reliability of Avid\u2019s MediaCentral platform, while their future-ready subscription agreement will ensure they continuously benefit from the latest Avid innovations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
