Our systems offer a glueless integration with video production solutions.
The following example illustrates how far this integration is efficient: the
French television station France 3 in Paris is using two NewsMix systems
connected to the News production and broadcast network. As soon as an
audio-video sequence is edited on an Avid Adrenaline editing system, the
sequence is automatically imported in the background in the NewsMix systems,
without interruption the works in progress. The video files are never copied, as
they are played directly in streaming mode from the Avid Unity server.
When the sequence is mixed, it is transferred directly to the broadcast server
and to the MediaManager via a Check In operation. The resulting workflow is very
fast and efficient.

sequences to the Avid MediaManager
Publison Systems develops and manufactures systems
for audio recording, editing and mixing at the forefront
of technology, dedicated to the post
production of television news, magazines and movies.
These systems include fully automated mixing consoles,
audio workstations and video servers.
Example of Publison systems deployment
Publison systems are installed on the site of "France 3 Rédaction
Nationale", a News broadcast station, where they allow the deployment of a
very efficient and very fast workflow dedicated to the production of News and
magazines programs. Subjects mounted on Avid editing stations are
seamlessly integrated with Publison editing and mixing systems. After
mixing they are sent to broadcast servers and converted to low resolution by the
MediaSelf II system, enabling all concerned staff to browse mixed subjects.

Mix-TV systems and EvereStation Publison for French TV France 2 television News
France 2 chose a mix of quality for its newscasts: two mixing
studios specially designed and equipped for this task, operated by professional
mixers.
- The two mixing studios are each equipped with a fully automated Mix-TV
digital console Publison and an editing station EvereStation.
- Subjects mounted on Final Cut Pro are automatically imported in the
background in the EvereStation, without interrupting the current mix.
- The EvereStation plays video files in streaming directly from media servers,

workflow where everything must go very fast.
