M6 Media Workflow Automation with Telestream DIVA and Vantage

This case study outlines the implementation of Telestream DIVA and Vantage systems by M6 to automate media workflows while ensuring content protection. Over the years, M6 has integrated DIVA into its customized production management system, which manages content storage across various platforms, including Isilon online storage and offline LTO tape storage. DIVA optimizes these storage layers, allowing production teams to retrieve content efficiently without worrying about storage specifics. The case study details DIVA's 'partial restore' technique, which enables frame-accurate retrieval of clips, enhancing efficiency and reducing costs. Additionally, the document highlights the data security benefits of DIVA, particularly during a ransomware attack in October 2019, where M6 maintained uninterrupted broadcasting. The integration of Vantage automates all stages of media workflows, from content ingest to delivery, showcasing the reliability and efficiency of the automated processes. M6's reliance on these systems underscores their critical role in sustaining media operations.
