RTV Belgium Achieves Fast Media Transfers using Medway Media Highway for New Tapeless Workflow

Marquis has announced that regional Belgian television station, RTV Belgium, has installed its Medway Media Highway. RTV Belgium is using Medway to transfer media files between a range of broadcasting and editing systems in its head office in Westerlo. Although currently broadcasting in SD, RTV Belgium is migrating its workflows to HD broadcasting. Medway will fulfil an essential role in this process, as it already supports a range of HD formats.

"We chose Marquis Broadcast as they have a solid name in broadcasting technology," said Bart Snoeks, head of the technical department at RTV. "Medway is a very powerful system and is particularly fast when exporting Avid sequences to playout. All our operators, including those who are not trained in server technology, are able to use it. With Medway, we have created a highly streamlined, efficient workflow."
