IP Director in use on the Football League show
Timeline have been instrumental in the widespread adoption of IP Director in the UK and are proud to have created some of the largest ever IP Director networks.
Built around the EVS XT suite of server technologies, IP Director offers unparalleled flexibility for tapeless production, allowing complete control of media from ingest to post-production and playout.
Examples of IP Director implementations:
- Wimbledon - since 2007, Timeline have been supplying a large IP Director system at the AELTC Wimbledon Tennis Championships. 2011 will see more than 60 IP Director terminals serving multiple international broadcasters. Case study
- French and Australian Open Tennis – three of the four Grand Slam events use Timeline’s IP Director networks for their host operations.
- British party political conference season - a single server platform has replaced disparate tape-based facilities for the BBC, ITN, Channel 4, Channel 5 and Sky News – a collaboration driven by Timeline. Case Study
- Football League Show - Timeline provides a complete tapeless workflow for the BBC’s football highlights programme. IP Director is used to log 36 matches at a central location, the logs are then delivered in real-time over the internet to multiple broadcast partners.
- Documentary TV – Timeline has taken the sports model and applied it to several observational documentaries and reality programmes. This has saved productions time and money by directly ingesting the media into the edit platform and logging the action as it happens.
