“The move to IP is
inevitable for the broadcast industry as they deal with an explosion of content
getting delivered OTT (Over The Top). Production teams within broadcasters
are under pressure to get more efficient and to reduce cost. Technologies
like Ooyala Flex can help by automating workflows, inserting metadata, and
creating a single source of truth for the entire media operation, helping teams
identify bottlenecks to reduce production costs, while increasing revenues by
getting content to market faster,”said BroadcastAsia2017 speaker Mr Steve
Davis, Vice President and General Manager, Asia Pacific and Japan, Ooyala.
