Streamlined Workflows and Seamless Network Management

Streamlined workflow and network management is critical in today’s complex media environments. In channel origination, automation is essential to maximizing the value of media assets. Smooth-running stadium control rooms and mobile production trucks must efficiently manage custom workflow setup for specific live events . And nearly every media operation is tasked with managing workflows comprising multivendor equipment.

Imagine’s scalable, reliable playout and enterprise automation, combined with a comprehensive portfolio of hardware and software control systems, ensures that managing your end-to-end hybrid SDI/IP or all-IP playout or live event production will be streamlined and seamless.
