As part of the Digital Media Revolution, file-based digital workflow platforms have been replacing tape very rapidly. Unfortunately, interoperability between platforms was severely lacking. However, as a result of recent agreement on file standards such as MXF, and a realization by companies involved to either interoperate or not survive, we are now seeing a new, effective file exchange approach.

SeaChange, along with Avid, has recently completed software integration making it possible to provide true file-based program transfers – file ingest and file-based delivery – from the Avid Non-Linear Editor (NLE) production environment to the play-to-air (PTA) server or archives. This long-sought-after standard of operation greatly reduces the time-to-air process and improves the quality and timeliness of the materials presented on-air.
