Case Study: CNN Indonesia achieves faster, integrated newsroom production with Avid Technology

CNN Indonesia Adopts Avid’s Newsroom Solutions for its 24-hour TV Station

CNN Indonesia needed to launch a 24-hour local-language TV news channel in Indonesia within a very short time frame, while keeping pace with fast-moving breaking news across a distributed newsroom. To meet that challenge, the company turned to Avid Technology and its newsroom management solutions, including iNEWS, to help build an end-to-end broadcast production system.

Avid Technology implemented a centralized, cloud-enabled newsroom workflow with iNEWS, Media Composer | Cloud Remote, Interplay | Production, MediaCentral | UX, and Avid ISIS shared storage. This allowed more than 100 reporters, editors, and producers across six bureaus and Jakarta to collaborate, edit remotely, and share assets in real time. As a result, CNN Indonesia launched successfully and was broadcasting from 6am to 11pm daily, with a goal of moving to round-the-clock service.
