Thomson Intros All-in-One Video Infrastructure

Thomson Video Networks announced the launch of Behind Every Screen, a unified video delivery approach that combines on-premises and cloud-based resources to support broadcast and multiscreen services. It brings together ingest, branding, ad insertion, encoding/transcoding, and packaging technologies in an effort to provide an all-encompassing video infrastructure.

Central to Behind Every Screen is the MediaFlex Suite, Thomson's unified service operation and management software suite. MediaFlex provides a software layer to facilitate overall service configuration, scheduling, and monitoring. It's designed to provide a unified view of the entire operation to streamline tasks such as migrating services between compression resources, deploying new services in a data center, or extending file transcoding capabilities with external cloud resources.
