Sony® Media Backbone Solutions:
Workflows, not work-arounds.
Once you get past the glittering promises of file-based workflow, the reality can be sadly lacking. Incompatible file types and delivery formats trip you up. Duplicated efforts slow you down. What should be smooth and fast is all too often bumpy and sluggish. That's why Sony® developed Media Backbone™ solutions, the portfolio of powerful tools to help you plan, orchestrate, streamline and manage your file-based workflow. Media Backbone tools handle everything from enterprise wide workflow orchestration to broadcast news and sports production, content management, file-based archiving and more.

Media Backbone Production System
Fully integrated file-based production
on a scalable platform.
Until recently, acquisition meant tapes that required studio decks for playback and editing. Moving content required physically transporting tapes. And sharing content required copying tapes. It was all very nice back in the day. But today you're facing new pressures to cut turnaround times, increase creativity and feed new distribution channels-all while cutting cost. That's why Sony developed the Media Backbone™ Production System. This end-to-end solution leverages the latest file-based acquisition to boost your productivity while cutting your costs. And the system scales to suit everyone from broadcast station groups and regional sports networks to corporate, education
