Grass Valley has partnered with ScheduALL to integrate the Grass Valley Aurora Ingest scheduling system with ScheduALL enterprise resource management (ERM) software. The partnership enables the consolidation of workflows across these systems.
Aurora Ingest is a high-availability ingest management system that controls Grass Valley’s server and router series. The integration of ScheduALL’s ERM software and Aurora Ingest creates an intersection of a facility’s scheduling and ingest workflows, eliminating the need to reserve and allocate ingest resources from multiple user interfaces.
ScheduALL users can schedule, manage, and monitor Aurora Ingest from within the ERM software interface, and bookings need only be performed once, in either ScheduALL or the Aurora Ingest scheduler. As users modify booked events, both systems reflect the updated information. Status colors for “ready,” “recording,” and “done” can be coordinated across the two systems.
The integrated platform also ensures that scheduling dependencies are identified and conflicts avoided, resulting in more streamlined operations and greater profitability.
“By partnering with ScheduALL, we can now give users the ability to manage all of their production resources from one interface, while still enjoying all the last minute flexibility of Aurora Ingest,” said Ed Casaccia, director of product marketing for servers and digital production.
