RTL-TVI Belgium Installs Marquis Medway Media Highway for Powerful Cross-Platform Postproduction and Broadcast Workflows

Marquis has announced that regional Belgian television station, RTL-TVI Belgium, part of RTL Group, has installed its Medway Media Highway. RTL-TVI Belgium is using Medway as the interoperability engine for its broadcasting and postproduction workflows based in its head office in Brussels. Medway has enabled the Company to achieve fast media transfers between its production areas where multiple teams of operators use a range of applications from different manufacturers.

"We chose Marquis as our supplier because having talked through our plans with them, they understood precisely what we were looking for and were able to demonstrate how Medway's capabilities could fulfil our requirements completely," said Thierry Piette, technical director, RTL-TVI. "Medway is very reliable. It has a simple interface which requires minimal training, and can be used by any of our operators including those who do not have specialist technical backgrounds. Also, we do not require transcoding which means the media flows between our various applications very fast. It's a very powerful method of moving data around."
