NY Giants Team With KMH Integration To Upgrade Post Production And Streamline Video Workflow
NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- You might say the NY Giants video production staff is a victim of its own success.
Facing ever increasing content demand for both their broadcast and online programming, it became abundantly clear that they needed to secure more post production resources while utilizing the existing space at the Quest Diagnostics training facility in East Rutherford NJ.
Working with systems integrator KMH Integration, the Giants took a long look at inventory and needs, budget and timelines to define how the physical space could be better utilized to squeeze out improved efficiencies.
"Increasing the physical space was not an option," said Kevin Henneman, president of KMH. "So we had to get creative in making this work within the existing confines."
What followed was a plan for spatial re-organization and file workflow consolidation, which allowed the post production capacity to be increased by 50 percent. Adding higher density equipment - essentially retrofitting more flexibility and firepower - into existing space delivered greater productivity for production staff.
At the same time, the Giants decided to pursue improvements to the production control room workflow and structure. Giants and KMH technicians designed and built an audio control booth to deliver greater acoustic isolation, thereby increasing the audio quality of their productions. They even added a new matrix-based intercom communications system for improved team collaboration.
Finally, the reorganization included improvements to IT networking, graphics and post production equipment. By consolidating the editing and graphics workstations into a shared storage environment, simpler access resulted all around.
The ultimate result? A completely unified file workflow, from ingest to post production to playout.
"It was ambitious but we accomplished what we set out to do with cooperation and teamwork from our staff and KMH," said Don Sperling, vice president/executive producer, NY Giants. "It was done with careful planning, efficiency and speed, and the returns are already paying off.
