Grass Valley and Dejero integrate for news workflows

Recognising the increasing demand for timely on-site reporting and the shift in the way news is gathered today, Grass Valley and Dejero are collaborating to integrate Dejero’s LIVE+ Control monitoring and management tool with the GV STRATUS video production and content management system. With the embedded Dejero tool, users will be able to access, manage and assign content from Dejero’s video-over-IP transmitters within a single window of the GV STRATUS system.

The integrated package gives users a centralised system with a simplified workflow for handling live and recorded content ingest. The result is greater efficiency and time savings for breaking news coverage in a highly competitive and time-sensitive news environment. With the new Dejero integration, users now can record and stream content, record timelines, move and edit files and control channel output recordings, all from within GV STRATUS.

“The broadcast news business is highly competitive, and the pressure to get relevant content to air faster is intense,” observed Mike Cronk, senior vice president of strategic marketing, Grass Valley. “By integrating with Dejero, we are breaking down the barriers that have existed between news field operations and the central newsroom. This collaboration is only possible because of the open platform on which both GV STRATUS and LIVE+ Control are based. Interoperability is the key.”
