Integration of NETIA's Warehouse Web and Pleyo Platform Simplifies Media Delivery Over New Distribution Channels.

New Product Pairing on Display at IBC 2007 Results in Powerful, Cost-Effective, and Easy-to-Use Interface for Compiling and Delivering Program Packages.

CLARET, France - Aug. 30, 2007 - At IBC2007, NETIA will be showcasing the integration of its Hypercast Warehouse Web, an integral part of the company's Manreo^TM content management system, with the Pleyo platform for broadcasting audio and video content via mobile phones, personal media players, set-top-boxes, TV decoders, and PVRs, among others. Together, the Pleyo and NETIA systems allow broadcasters to select programs and content types based on set criteria and then create program schedules for new revenue-generating services delivered over a variety of distribution channels..

"Broadcasters and other content owners today are aware that to maximize the potential of new distribution channels, they must first implement an efficient and cost-effective means of preparing content for those channels," said Pierre Keiflin, NETIA vice president. "When combined with the Pleyo platform, the newest release of our Warehouse Web system allows users to compile and deliver programming quickly through intuitive interfaces. The power and simplicity of this integrated solution offers the functionality and ease of use necessary for profitable repurposing and distribution of media assets."

Hypercast Warehouse Web Version 2.0 from NETIA is an audio and video broadcast and display platform that opens up new services and revenue opportunities for Manreo^TM users. The full-featured software solution provides companies with a system for centralizing, sharing, and viewing audio, image, and video archives, and broadcasting them across multiple distribution channels. The integration of the Pleyo solution with Manreo^TM's Warehouse Web simplifies the creation and delivery of program packages for delivery via the rapidly growing range of viewing platforms and devices.

Because Warehouse Web 2.0 is built on the REST (Representational State Transfer) architecture and includes XML Web Services, it can offer users a choice of four easy-to-use interfaces. The software's Catalog Interface provides a global view of all files and metadata while enabling powerful searches; the Terminology Interface manages the Thesaurus and allows users to add, delete, and modify words and interaction between words; the Media Interface manages the storage of both audio and video files; and the Monitoring Interface lets users track file conversion and publishing to various platforms.

The demonstration of Pleyo and Hypercast Warehouse Web at IBC2007 booth 8.241 will rely on AJAX, XHTML, and other Web services technologies to provide a solution compatible with a broad range of end devices.

M6 Simplifies Multiplatform Media Delivery With NETIA Hypercast Warehouse

For M6, delivery of content from physical media to different platforms requires specific transcoding capability, as content is first encoded into MPEG-2 format and then to other, more compressed formats for different devices. The process was manually intensive and required extensive technical expertise.

To simplify and automate media handling and delivery to viewers through the M6 Web Internet and mobile sites, the company turned to NETIA's Manreo ^TM Hypercast media asset management and encoding software. M6 has used NETIA's news transcription and streaming solution in other applications and, after extensive consultation by both editorial and technical teams, chose to work with the French company's software solutions once again. M6 officially took NETIA Hypercast Warehouse live at the beginning of March.

Using Hypercast Warehouse, M6 staff can centralize, share, and view audio, image, and video archives and broadcast those assets across multiple distribution channels, such as Web portals, mobile devices, ADSL, etc. The software references all types of objects, files, and physical media (audio, video, and still images); identifies all copies of a given video or image, whatever the version, format, or location; manages transfer to storage; and automatically converts source files into various formats for viewing and distribution.

M6 has integrated the Hypercast solution into its operations to allow any editorial staff to manage transcoding. Staff use the software along with M6 web's content management system to gain a view of content and then mix still and video content within a template. The content is created in Hypercast Warehouse, previewed through the JCMS template, and then posted to the Web site directory.

"NETIA's Hypercast allows our editorial team to update the Web site and mobile site through simple interfaces with minimal intervention," says Stéphane Agneray, Video Manager at M6web. "As a result, we've already seen improvements in efficiency and quality."

Repurposing content for the Internet and mobile services is made easy through profiles that define the appropriate transcoding for any platform. Hypercast automates the publishing of stored media or files and defines broadcast targets and publication rules. Integrated templates ensure that published media is fully compliant with M6's graphic guidelines.

Before bringing the Hypercast software online, staff members at M6 web were required to transcode material multiple times for multiple formats and platforms. Now just one template can be used to launch this process automatically, with tremendous productivity benefits as a result. Because the publishing of media is now a more highly automated process, it also is a more standardized process, with specifications set and adhered to for all outputs. Thus, the quality of Internet and mobile media also has been enhanced through this new workflow.

"Our main purpose was to find a way to cope with the growth of our services and ensure better updating of different sites and services," adds Stéphane Agneray. "Now we can ingest from different physical media or directly from the output of post-production. We've been able to increase our processing capacity, as well as the quality of video, and we're now equipped to handle further growth and an even larger volume of media." Most of the M6 web content moving through Hypercast is transcoded to Windows Media format for video-on-demand over the Internet and as a basic format delivered to M6 mobile partners for further transcoding. M6 web also uses NETIA's Hypercast to provide MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 content for its Internet IPTV platform.

While this solution has made a significant impact on the workflow at M6 web, the training period for the NETIA Hypercast-based system took just a couple of hours. M6 web continues to refine its use of its new NETIA software, but the broadcaster already has met its original goals in deploying the system.

CLARET, France - Aug. 28, 2007 - NETIA today announced that its Radio-Assist^TM 7.5 range of digital audio software programs now supports both 5.1 and 7.1 multichannel audio from acquisition through to broadcast. With this latest enhancement to Radio-Assist^TM, users can record an input containing up to 5+1 or 7+1 channels, edit that content using NETIA's Snippet tool, and broadcast finished media through the Air-Cartstack application included in Radio-Assist^TM 7.5.

"We incorporated 5.1 and 7.1 audio support into Radio-Assist to enable radio broadcasters to increase the quality of their audio product while maintaining the efficient, streamlined workflow made possible through our digital audio software suite," said Pierre Keiflin, Vice President, NETIA vice president. "As the radio broadcasting industry continues to evolve, new and existing NETIA customers can count on Radio-Assist to support and simplify operations from start to finish."

Radio-Assist^TM 7.5 allows production staff to record, edit, or prepare playlists while working within a single application.

WQXR-FM Chooses Combined NETIA/Isilon Solution for Highly Automated Production & Broadcast Operations

CLARET, France -Oct. 3, 2007 - NETIA today announced that New York City's WQXR-FM, the classical music radio station of the New York Times and the nation's first commercial classical music radio station, is implementing an integrated solution comprising NETIA's Radio-Assist^TM 7.5 range of digital audio software programs and Isilon® Systems- Isilon IQ clustered storage system to enable secure, highly automated production and broadcast operations. As the first step in a major studio overhaul, the NETIA and Isilon Systems installation initially will enable conversion of WQXR-FM's CD library to a hard-disk system and eventually provide a complete and highly efficient production environment capable of creating additional content for a variety of distribution platforms.

"As we upgrade our facilities, one of our primary objectives is to enable the creation of more programming for additional plaforms," said Harold F. Chambers III, director of operations and production at WQXR-FM. "NETIA's Radio-Assist provides the comprehensive production environment and database management tools we require for streamlined production, while Isilon's storage systems offer the density and reliability we need for storage of audio content from thousands of CDs."

The integrated solution being deployed at WQXR-FM features Radio-Assist^TM's DBShare database management module, which ensures the consistency of media stored within the Isilon IQ clustered storage system. By performing systematic and synchronous redundancy checks of all the metadata produced by the system, DBShare ensures the stability of database contents. All databases are automatically synchronized and thus provide automatic, transparent redundancy, as well as automatic database restoration, in the event of any incident.

Added protection of the radio broadcaster's media assets will be provided by the storage system software, which preserves file integrity and accessibility. The Isilon IQ solution offers a range of data security software including SnapshotIQ, which enables instant global snapshots of the server system; SyncIQ, which allows for synchronization and replication processes; and SmartConnect Advanced, which allows users to optimize the number of client connections based on Network File System (NFS) and Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocols. In conjunction with Radio-Assist^TM, and the DBShare module in particular, Isilon IQ delivers high storage capacity with simple management tools and a high level of data security.

WQXR-FM will install a routing system along with its NETIA and Isilon Systems software and hardware to allow for a complete shift of production tasks to Radio-Assist^TM. Among the benefits of the system will be online users' ability to access now-playing information in real time, which is particularly valuable in identifying classical pieces and recordings for listeners.

"Flexibility and security are critical to successful management of media content, and we've worked closely with our partner here, Isilon Systems to ensure our integrated solution delivers both in meeting WQXR-FM's media-storage needs," said Mustapha Rezzoug, product manager, Radio, at NETIA. "Together, our technologies serve as an end-to-end station management solution equipped with unique data protection tools and optimized access to stored media."

Croatia's HRT Expands Broadcast Workflow On NETIA's Radio-Assist Software Suite

CLARET, France - Dec 10., 2007 - NETIA today announced that its Radio-Assist^TM suite of digital audio software products is being used by public radio broadcaster Croatian Radiotelevision (Hrvatska Radiotelevizija, or HRT) to streamline acquisition, editing, scheduling, broadcasting, and archiving within a highly efficient workflow.

Today HRT works with more than 100 production workstations in approximately 20 different departments at its main facility in Zagreb, Croatia. Radio-Assist is also installed at HRT regional sites across the country in cities such as Zadar, Split, and Dubrovnik.

"Among the main reasons we chose to work with the NETIA solution is that it gives our staff the ability to record, edit, or prepare playlists from within a single application," said Marko Malnar, head of HRT's technical department. "Radio-Assist gives our journalists direct control over their work. Rather than negotiate with a technician to try to achieve the right result, our reporters, editors, and producers now use NETIA software to record and edit material. With this capacity has come greater creativity in how our staff members approach the creation of their shows, and we have seen the positive results of this change in our on-air broadcasts."

HRT first installed NETIA systems in 1998, beginning with the deployment of a NETIA automation system consisting of two production workstations and four on-air workstations. In subsequent years, the broadcaster adopted additional NETIA systems and connected each regional site with the Zagreb facility using dedicated 2-Mbps, 10-Mbps, and 34-Mbps links to enable fast and automated content exchange.

Content for HRT production is acquired both manually and automatically from several different feeds. During the editing process, Sequoia multitrack recording and editing software is interfaced with Radio-Assist^TM to enable music production and mastering. In playout, the Radio-Assist^TM scheduling module supports scheduling of the full daily playlist for eight different HRT studios. NETIA's AirDDO Live-Assist mode facilitates playout during the day and a fully automatic mode takes over playout during nighttime hours. The On-Air workstation is set up in a master/slave configuration to prevent any crash on the main workstation from interrupting the on-air broadcast.

Radio-Assist^TM is being paired with a NOA Audio Systems workstation to enable digitizing and ingest of HRT content for archiving within an EMC2 storage system. When fully integrated with the NOA Audio Systems database, Radio-Assist^TM will manage delivery of media to different areas of the facility workflow in the correct format: high-resolution for archiving, middle-resolution for the production domain, and low-resolution for browsing the media library. This phase of HRT's expansion is scheduled to be finalized in Summer 2008, at which point NETIA's media management and Autofill solutions will manage the traffic among these domains and enable further automation of channel playout. With certification and support from NETIA, technicians at HRT are prepared to run diagnostics and maintain the system as necessary.

Hrvatska radiotelevizija ( HRT) is the Croatian public broadcasting company, which was launched as the private station Zagreb Radiostation in 1926. Since then the company has been nationalized, representing the first public broadcasting facility in Southeastern Europe, and has grown to include several radio and television stations. HRT comprises three organizational units: Croatian Radio (Hrvatski radio - HR), Croatian Television (Hrvatska televizija - HRT), and Music Production (Glazbena proizvodnja).

The new video recorder module within the Manreo suite is used to acquire and digitize videos from tape. With functionality including start, stop, forward, rewind, etc., Manreo^TM Video Recorder controls the VTR and launches the acquisition and digitization (MPEG-2 with MainConcept) process. For TV stations and other media companies with large stores of tape-based archives, Manreo^TMVideo Recorder enables migration to lossless and more secure digital storage.
The migration of media libraries to digital is critical to preserving media, but it also can be a very demanding process. This latest addition to the Manreo product line uses the RS-232 and RS-422 protocol to control external VTRs and allows users to connect a jog/shuttle control via USB port for easy navigation. The operator can watch video as the media is being digitized, plus in and out points can be marked to create a clip or even a new video, produced automatically from a series of marked segments.

Media Logging

NETIA will also be highlighting its Media Logging ^TM range at IBC. This range of solutions meets the increased worldwide demand for radio and TV monitoring systems by carrying out the capture, indexing, transcoding, and distribution of audio and video content. Broadcasters, telecom and mobile phone operators, and Internet companies use Media Logging ^TM for continuous capture of video and audio files, 24 hours a day. Each file is examined individually, segmented, and completed with the necessary associated metadata - in an automatic or semi-automatic mode - through the use of sophisticated new speech-to-text and image recognition techniques.
