SAN JOSE, Calif., July 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Corp.
(NYSE: QTM) today announced that the University of Notre Dame's Fighting Irish Media has
deployed a workflow storage system powered by StorNext®
to increase its speed and productivity in creating
athletics-focused video features, live game webcasts, highlights,
coaches' shows and documentary-style filmed entertainment, as well
as a growing volume of educational content. The efficient,
collaborative Quantum storage platform enables the Fighting Irish
Media team to produce event highlights within minutes of a sports
event's conclusion. The new workflow also has improved overall
editing productivity by 50 percent.
Meeting Fighting Irish Fan Demand
Fighting Irish Media
covers 26 teams ranging from football and basketball to swimming,
fencing, tennis, golf and lacrosse. In addition to streaming
125-130 athletic events a year, posting over 1,000 short-form
videos on a variety of platforms and creating TV shows and
features, the Fighting Irish Media team supports content creation
and distribution for the broader Notre
Dame educational and faith mission.
For its athletics coverage, the team previously had sent cameras
out to events, brought footage back, copied it to removable drives
and then edited, transcoded and distributed finished clips. The
process often took hours. Realizing that it was missing a valuable
opportunity to connect with fans and address their desire for more
timely content, the team undertook an upgrade that would help it to
create and distribute content more quickly.
"Our audience wanted to see event highlights in as close to real
time as possible, but we simply didn't have the infrastructure to
meet that goal," said Scott
Rinehart, broadcast technology program director at Fighting
Irish Media. "The new StorNext-based collaborative workflow changed
that, dramatically reducing the time it takes to post and deliver
content. Projects that once took hours to complete are now finished
and made available to fans in minutes. This means that people who
attend a Notre Dame game can watch
highlights as they walk back to their cars."
Building an Efficient Collaborative Workflow With Quantum
Storage
The new environment now supporting Fighting Irish
Media's production workflow includes the Quantum storage platform
integrated with Telestream Pipeline, Adobe Creative Cloud 2015 and
CatDV, an asset management system. Live feeds are brought into the
shared storage environment via Telestream Pipeline, and, as this
content is ingested, the Quantum system enables multiple editors to
work simultaneously on the same media and create finished clips for
distribution. SAN performance via single-mode fiber to the desktops
ensures rapid access to content and speeds completion of
projects.
The scalable nature of the StorNext-powered solution will make
it easy for the Fighting Irish Media team to accommodate the
increasing demand for sports and educational content, as well as
the inevitable increase in content resolution and file sizes.
