Tel Aviv-based IETV (Israel Educational Television) has installed, with the help of system integrator AVcom, an entirely digital tapeless production workflow using Front Porch Digital’s DIVArchive content storage management system. Israel’s first national television station, operating continually since 1965, IETV broadcasts around 215 hours of documentaries, drama, and other educational programming each week, and went on-air with the new production system in August 2007.

Shlomo Kasif, CTO of IETV commented, “Managing file-based content with DIVArchive and DIVAdirector gives us the most powerful and flexible way of viewing, retrieving, and transferring material during production, as well as preparing it for transmission. Front Porch Digital’s technology integrates readily with our existing systems to become the hub of a tapeless workflow that is far simpler, faster, and more cost-effective to operate. No other vendor delivers the same level of advanced workflow, integration, and performance.”
