ABS-CBN has requested to Etere, as a part of the overall transition to a completely tapeless MXF-based workflow, technical and operational support to migrate its current media workflow which works with SAF files (SeaChange Archive Format) to a new media workflow entirely based on MXF files (Media eXchange Format MXF) for achieving handling flexibility and essence preservation.

Etere is an international leader in the media market. Etere develops and distributes a wide range of high technology software for broadcasting and media businesses.

This paper will describe the strategies and implications of implementing a “multi-standard framework” able to manage different standard formats within the same system.
