S4M showcases new ClipJOCKEY production tool

Solutions for Media (S4M) featured its new ClipJOCKEY, a studio production tool supporting the daily processes carried out in TV control rooms and production houses, at IBC2008.

Supporting migration to a file-based environment, ClipJOCKEY is a stand-alone solution focused on existing core workflows regarding ingest and playout functionality. The new device offers a scope of features provided by S4M’s Video Production Management System (VPMS).

Analog video content can be digitized, encoded, stored and then played out from the video server for distribution on tape or as content feeding a TV broadcaster’s whole playout process without tape.

ClipJOCKEY turns the video server into a multichannel production tool and controls up to eight server channels and two VTRs from one application.
