Core business

Since the early days, SGT has built the most comprehensive software range in the Broadcast industry, based upon two main product lines: Transmission Management and Media Management.

Customer needs have evolved towards workflow automation, rich-media content management and new distribution media such as the Internet or mobile phones. SGT has accordingly merged its three product lines into VEDA: a single, seamless and modular end-to-end suite, based on a Service-Oriented Architecture.

 

Vivesta delivers comprehensive workflow based Media management, Traffic and Scheduling and Automation solutions for TV, VOD, IPTV and mobile TV services.

The flagship product of Vivesta, MediaFlow, is a reliable and scalable solution providing customers with complete media management, rights management, scheduling and control from ingest to broadcast and on-demand services via one integrated workflow. Within MediaFlow, multiple organizations can collaborate to manage their content and upload it ready for use in cross-media publishing on different platforms.

Vivesta not only provides the software, it can also aid in streamlining the workflow for managing broadcast, on-demand and interactive media services. Vivesta has established a name as an innovator due to a number of talked-about projects in which broadcasting, VOD and and mobile services converge.

 

Complementary solutions

The two product suites are highly complementary. With a larger and more comprehensive product offering, the combined entity SGT-Vivesta will be able to significantly expand its market reach:

• SGT´s VEDA software suite for workflow automation is an innovative solution for video content management (MAM) and linear and non-linear playout automation. VEDA is based on Microsoft technology and mainly addresses high-end markets.
  
  
• With MediaFlow, Vivesta offers a play automation, a media asset management and media business management solution for TV channels and VOD. MediaFlow is based on Linux and open source (LAMP stack) technologies and is primarily targeting mid/upper-range markets.
