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.

May HD Radio be an alternative for Turkey?

There are mainly three worldwide digital radio technologies: DAB/DAB+, DRM30/DRM+ and  HD Radio™ . According to some sector professional Turkey should not even think of  HD Radio™  as an alternative for the digitization of radio. I have some doubts on that. Lets have a closer look at  HD Radio™ : Who is behind the  HD Radio™ ? IBiquity  Digital is the firm that developed the  HD Radio™  technology. Some argues that as it is a firm, not a consortium, so broadcasters should avoid choosing  HD Radio™  as the digital radio technology. It sounds a little bit ambiguous. Why should broadcasters avoid using it? Do they avoid using Windows, for their PCs? Well, it is the same actually. Microsoft is a firm, that has a product, and broadcasters, like many others are using it. So, Ibiquity Digital is a firm like Microsoft. They have an approach to digital radio, with using FM band, they can digitize the r...
