Lumiere TV Chooses Front Porch Digital for Broadcast Archive Management

Lumiere TV Chooses Front Porch Digital for Broadcast Archive Management

Leading Cypriot Pay-TV Broadcaster Implements DIVArchive and DIVAdirector Bundle

BOULDER, Colo., April 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Front Porch Digital (FPD), the Broadcast & Media Division of Incentra Solutions, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: ICNS) , today announced that Lumiere TV has purchased a DIVArchive system to build its first digital video archive located in Nicosia, Cyprus. Archived content will automatically be accessible to desktop users for browsing through DIVAdirector, Front Porch Digital's Web-based content management application, also purchased by Lumiere.

Lumiere TV (LTV) is the leading Cypriot Pay-TV broadcaster. Lumiere TV Public Company, Ltd. ("LTV") was established in January 1992, to spearhead the development of the Lumiere TV Group as the first Pay-TV channel in Cyprus. As part of its expansion plans and the creation of a fully digital multichannel playout facility, Lumiere TV is building the first digital video archive in Cyprus using DIVArchive. The new DIVArchive installation will be deployed with 135 TB (terabyte) of tape capacity.

"The unique competitive advantages of DIVArchive are well-documented, and the addition of DIVAdirector browse capabilities, so tightly integrated into the solution, was especially compelling," said Lumiere TV Technical Director Evagoras Constantinides. "These capabilities, seamlessly integrated into our broader digital workflow, deliver significant value that no other provider could match."

DIVAdirector is a distributed content management application providing a user-friendly Web-based "window" into all assets stored in the DIVArchive system. DIVAdirector provides a Web-based window into deep archives with features such as user authentication, frame accurate proxy browsing, metadata searches, EDL/shotlist generation and export, and timecode-based partial restore. Positioned as an entry-level content management solution, DIVAdirector allows for simple migration to a true enterprise MAM system at any point, facilitating metadata and proxy export for all assets currently tracked by the CMS. This exported information can then be imported (one time) by the replacement enterprise MAM system.

"Front Porch Digital introduced DIVAdirector to meet the needs of customers searching for archive management with tightly integrated entry-level asset management capabilities. By bundling DIVAdirector with DIVArchive, Front Porch meets those needs at a very affordable price," said Rino Petricola, managing director and vice president, Front Porch Digital International. "Launched less than one year ago, the integration of DIVArchive with DIVAdirector has been purchased by major broadcasters throughout Europe and Asia, as well as the Americas. We are pleased to add Lumiere to our growing global list of satisfied customers."
