IRVINE, Calif.—Teradek and Sony Electronics announced the native integration of Sony’s Ci Media Cloud with Teradek’s HDR Serv 4K and Prism Flex 4K encoding solutions.
The move means any camera used on set, in the studio or remotely will be able to upload footage to Ci directly from Teradek’s encoders, Teradek said.
The integration gives film and broadcast crews the ability to review, edit and deliver proxy files in minutes.
While accelerating the content acquisition workflow, the integration also provides accurate files for cutting, color grading, image capture, comments and annotation. Content can be cut, reformatted and shared without ever leaving the cloud, he said.
