Evertz Public Cloud Playout Solution Wins 2017 IABM Design and Innovation Award

Evertz (TSX:ET) has announced that it has received an IABM Design and Innovation award at the 2017 IBC Show in Amsterdam.
As quoted in the press release:

This award recognizes the scale and scope of the Project surrounding Evertz’ transformational migration of traditional playout services to a public cloud environment.
This migration has involved numerous ground breaking products, technologies and integrations that have never before been achieved and are critical to both public and private cloud playout applications. Evertz’ innovative and proven solution utilizes Mediator-X, OvertureRT LIVE, and Render-X as a fully integrated linear playout and non-linear content distribution platform in public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid architectures giving media companies the agility and flexibility to dynamically scale their operations. The system’s ability to rapidly spin-up/down resource and adopt innovative redundancy and resilience models reduces time to market, increases reliability, optimizes costs and enables earlier revenue recognition from new product launches.
Mediator-X is an enterprise class software platform used to manage, deliver, and automate all elements of linear and nonlinear content distribution workflows. OvertureRT LIVE is a cost effective scalable playout engine deployable as a video appliance or a virtual machine running in either a private or public cloud including the Amazon Web Services (AWS) public cloud computing service. Render-X is a powerful transcoding and conform solution that transcodes and repackages content for both linear and non-linear distribution.
