The Project starting point came from the TV7´s director, Paulo Simões, made the decision of using Avid Media Composer as the editing seat. From this point, along with Paulo, Drivesys team developed a workflow to best meet the ongoing production and further improve it.

Since editing would be Avid Based, it was mandatory to use a central storage which natively supports the “bin locking” function, then a 96TB Terrablock from Facilis Technology was chosen. Terrablock was also valuable due to its Fiber and Ethernet connectivity which allowed to make use of the current Xsan FC infrastructure, avoiding the costs of a new 10Gbe infrastructure.

The next step was to define how online and offline content would be managed and integrated with Media Composer seats, text editors, producers and directors. To comply with that, Drivesys integrated Cantemo Portal, Archiware P5 Archive and CP Archive App by MMCT.
