For Vice Media, the new Primestream system is required to integrate Vice’s existing workflow, which features third party systems for non-linear editing, production management systems, archival and delivery workflows. The system also had to be scalable for future growth of digital distribution, as well as the global launch of Viceland and the upcoming show “Vice News Tonight” on HBO.

To do this, Primestream designed a Dynamic Media Management system based around its Xchange platform. This enables Vice to access, publish and control content via its web interface and Fork automation platform. The production teams are able to manage the distribution of content to multiple platforms and screens.
