“The move to IP is inevitable for the broadcast industry as they
deal with an explosion of content getting delivered OTT (Over The Top).
Production teams within broadcasters are under pressure to get more efficient
and to reduce cost. Technologies like Ooyala Flex can help by automating workflows,
inserting metadata, and creating a single source of truth for the entire media
operation, helping teams identify bottlenecks to reduce production costs, while
increasing revenues by getting content to market faster,”said BroadcastAsia2017
speaker Mr Steve Davis, Vice President and General Manager, Asia Pacific and
