If you visited the Vidispine stand at IBC you probably wondered what do they sell or what service do they supply?

To be honest it’s tough to understand even for a geek like me, but when you get your head around it, it’s no surprise that they were short listed as part of the ITV Phoenix for the IBC innovation award.  Their technology is visionary and their new cloud based product – Vidinet is revolutionary.

Vidispine, to quote their CTO is a headless MAM. 

I have had a long relationship with the guys over at Empress so I was pleased when Tyrell was announced as a reseller.

Empress started out as supplier of media such as BetaSP Digibeta and LTO tape. During the transition to tapeless workflows it was clear that they needed to penetrate different markets, they had the vision to see that people were creating archives from their tapes but these were not being managed and clients could not find the rushes that they had spent so much money on creating.
