Imagen upgrades video management platform

UK production company Imagen has enhanced its video management platform by adding live capture and social media publishing capabilities to the service.

The new features allow the company to accelerate the convergence of live and archive workflows, to deliver more efficient and economically scalable cloud-based media management. 

The new live-to-archive streaming service enables content owners to view, capture and archive incoming feeds from events such as sports competitions. Highlights can be clipped from the stream in real time and published to a subscribing audience or social media channels.

The updated service is already in use by Imagen clients such as football’s English Premier League, the ATP Media division of the Association of Tennis Professionals, the IMG agency, and UK public-service broadcaster the BBC and commercial broadcaster Channel 4.
