Prime Focus Technologies Unveils New Features for CLEAR Media ERP Suite and Key Upgrades to DAX at NAB 2016

LOS ANGELES – April 7, 2016: Prime Focus Technologies (PFT), the technology arm of Prime Focus, the world’s largest media services powerhouse, is challenging companies in the media and entertainment industry to be bold and take the leap to build a connected enterprise with one software across the enterprise at NAB 2016, with a slew of significant upgrades and powerful additions to the CLEARTM Media ERP Suite.


The media and entertainment industry is undergoing unprecedented change as it deals with Digital Next realities - new entrants challenging traditional players, new technology enabling over the top (OTT), revenue opportunities blurring the lines between media and digital companies, and new geographies accessible for faster distribution. To successfully manage this change, PFT is encouraging content enterprises to reimagine the way they work, break out of silos that lead to lack of agility, and invest in a fully connected enterprise. Be it broadcast or studio, investments are being made in silos leading to Islands of Automation - duplication of content, huge costs, lack of agility and collaboration. To meet today’s demands, PFT’s CLEAR Media ERP Suite is the technology solution to virtualize the enterprise, automate and build a connected ecosystem.

One of PFT’s significant launches at NAB 2016 is DAX® Production Cloud, an upgrade to the long-time industry standard DAX® Digital Asset Management, which allows clients to use one software for all dailies and post servicing workflows. This means all stakeholders in the production supply chain – creation, editorial, VFX (pull downs), marketing (trailers), localization vendors, distribution (screeners) – can all collaborate on the same software.

“Content enterprises can no longer afford to ignore the realities of an industry that is experiencing such rapid change and placing ever increasing demands on its participants,” said Ramki Sankaranarayanan, Founder and CEO, Prime Focus Technologies. “Our message for the industry this NAB Show is a daring proposition to be bold, break the shackles of isolated media asset management systems and embrace digital transformation. Our campaign, ‘Be Bold and Take the Leap,’ is a battle cry for media and entertainment enterprises to virtualize the content supply chain and adopt centralization by deploying one software for the whole enterprise.”

In enabling such digital transformations, PFT has helped content enterprises cut 30% of operational costs and gain 40% more efficiencies. PFT will be showcasing the industry’s first ever transformation software CLEARTM Media ERP along with DAX® Production Cloud during NAB 2016 at booth #SL10105.

PFT’s clientele includes Disney, 21st Century Fox-owned STAR TV, Warner Bros. Television Studios, CBS Television Studios, 20th Century Fox Television Studios, Legendary Pictures, Starz Media, Lionsgate, A&E TV Network, Crown Media Family Networks, FX Networks and more.

Disguise and Cuebric Launch AI-Driven Content Generator for Virtual Production

Disguise  — a world leader in virtual production technology used for  Top Gun: Maverick ,  The Joker  and more — has partnered with AI platform  Cuebric  to make virtual environments faster, easier and more cost-effective to build than ever before.  As part of the partnership, Cuebric has been integrated with the Disguise platform. This means creatives can now use AI to create the shape and depth of 2.5D environments, then import them into Disguise. The result is a plug-and-play scene that can be executed on an LED stage in only two minutes. This allows anyone to tell immersive stories, no matter the production environment or virtual art capabilities they have, saving weeks of pre-production work. “Real-time environments look spectacular on-camera, yet often require many hours of artistic and technical build,” said Addy Ghani, VP of Virtual Production at Disguise. “Thanks to our partnership with Cuebric, there’s now another option. Using generative AI,...

Shall we not build DTT, after WRC 2015

According to the news in the web site of EBU, 470 - 694 MHz will be reserved for DTT & radio microphones not only till WRC 2019, but also till WRC 2023. At the WRC 2023, 470 - 960 MHz band will be reconsidered. It is good news for the DTT business in Europe. But is it a good news for Turkey? As you may well know, Turkey has not yet spend any money on DTT. There is no DTT network, nor a finished frequency allocation tender. Hence, we can say that there is nothing, just NOTHING regarding DTT.  So, in best circumstances, the tender for DTT frequencies can be finished by 2016 & the network would be ready by 2017. Well, the picture becomes interesting from that point. The frequency allocation would be for 10 years, which covers 2016-2026. But, during the WRC 2023, the frequency usage will be reconsidered again. It may be more meaningful to think not to build DTT at all, and start thinking to work on xG mobile networks. I would appreciate for your comment...
