Project: NumProd; migrating RTBF’s broadcast operations to a tapeless workflow
End user: Radio Télévision Belge Francophone (RTBF)
Supplier: Dalet, EVS with Orad, Avid, MediaGenix, Fairlight, Front Porch, FAB
In addressing the convergence of radio, television and online services, Francophone Belgian national broadcaster RTBF sought to rationalise the way it worked, to control costs and streamline its operational performance. They wanted to bring a service-oriented architecture approach, managing all workflows throughout the production and delivery process.
“Every conceivable production capability is integrated into one highly flexible workflow engine,” said Didier Vanzeune, the head of the NumProd project for RTBF. “Repetitive operational processes are fully automated, and RTBF personnel, unburdened by technical limitations and redundant tasks, can focus on creative efforts.”
A team of suppliers was recruited to realise the vision, led by Dalet and the RTBF IT department with servers from EVS, and other equipment from Orad, Avid, MediaGenix, Fairlight, Front Porch and FAB. The architecture is built around a single backbone, called the intranet de production, from which all media technologies are fully monitored and controlled.
“The end result is a highly collaborative production environment that will easily scale and adapt to future technologies,” concluded Didier Vanzeune.
