- For years market-leading media companies have searched for a workflow solution that is cost-effective, scalable, and operational within their existing framework. StorerTV answers this need with the CentriX Workflow Engine, a one-of-a-kind, functioning solution being introduced at the 2011 NAB Show. Operators save time and labor while increasing management oversight by automating and monitoring any task or process within an entire “media factory.” Broadcasters are not bound to one system or one brand for every component in their operation as CentriX integrates seamlessly with any legacy system offered by other manufacturers, significantly reducing the cost of implementation for a “media factory” of this magnitude. CentriX integrates with any open system in the organization, acting as the glue that ties each task of each process completed by a person or technical asset together. CentriX also incorporates web-based dashboards that can be customized to display the status of any automated processes across the entire organization. Dashboard modules can include analysis reports, work queues, specific task alerts, forms, and data profiles. CentriX will be operational and on display during the 2011 NAB Show in booth N329 in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention.
