“Rolling out Bitcentral CORE was a top priority for Raycom Media and our news departments,” said David Evans for Raycom Media. “The rollout of CORE with ENPS integration was critical in getting these new stations the support and infrastructure they need to do news the Raycom Media way, and integrate them into our environment. Systems like Bitcentral Create give the newsrooms the ability to manage their content in the most efficient way allowing everyone to log and edit video from their desktop without the need of an NLE. Bitcentral Oasis provides not only a storage solution but also a very powerful platform to push and pull video around their system and share with the entire Raycom Media family. Bitcentral Remote Contribution and Precis Attach from the field have proven invaluable assets to our stations. Getting these systems in place for our new stations was a priority for Raycom Media.”

CORE:news is an easy-to-use modular news production platform that combines content discovery, capture, editing, playout, publishing, collaboration, asset management and archiving into a single unified workflow. Bitcentral extends its congratulations and appreciation to the staff of Raycom Media for their partnership throughout the implementation process and looks forward to being a valued partner moving forward.
