Qvest has launched the new version of clipbox, its studio server designed for ingest and playout.
According to the company, the latest release of clipbox improves studio ingest and playout and becomes the first studio server to fully support Vidispine’s new renderless workflow powered by the Web Render Engine (WRE). For editors and operators in the newsroom environment, this means better collaboration and a reduction in production delays, it added.
Frank Mistol, managing director at Qvest Stream, said: “Customers all over the world are already using clipbox for their studio ingest and playout. It’s exciting to think about how much more efficient we’ll be able to help make their workflows with this latest version, while of course continuing to be the most cost-efficient newsroom studio server available.”
Karsten Schragmann, head of product management at Vidispine, commented that its Web Render Engine allows content to be stored and managed efficiently without creating new files for every sequence. “Only metadata is generated when users edit a sequence, eliminating the need for file movement or rendering. This enables multiple editors to work simultaneously on the same content from anywhere,” he said.
Mistol added that Qvest has “always had a great relationship with the Vidispine team and we’re really happy for that to continue”.
