Maximum Throughput’s MAXedit® Server Edition Endorsed by Bitcentral

MONTREAL, Canada, January 21, 2009 — Maximum Throughput (www.max-t.com), developers of server-based media applications and high-performance storage solutions, today announced that its MAXedit® Server Edition has been endorsed by Bitcentral, a leading manufacturer and reseller of news production systems, based in Irvine, California.

MAXedit, an innovative, scalable, server-based SD/HD editing software solution, enables broadcasters to quickly and cost-effectively set-up a multi-seat editing environment with a rich editing toolset that can be accessed, locally or remotely, from a Web browser on a laptop or workstation.

“For fast-paced, competitive news production, MAXedit Server is proving to be an editing solution that can fully support the needs of news production,” said Fred Fourcher, president and CEO of Bitcentral. “In the field, reporters can begin crafting their stories using the Web-based editing tools. And in the station, everyone on the news team can share and edit the same media, even while it is still being ingested, for the fastest, most streamlined path to air. MAXedit joins Maximum Throughput’s Sledgehammer network storage device as part of the turnkey news production systems we offer our clientele. We’re thrilled with the cost and operational benefits the Max-T products bring to our systems.”

Bitcentral has taken an industry leading position by advancing the news production workflow with such innovative products as its Precis 4.0 News Production System. Precis, which manages the tapeless HD news production workflow spanning media management, editing, and archive is used by several Bitcentral customers in conjunction with a Maximum Throughput Sledgehammer®, a high-performance network-attached storage (NAS) device, to fulfill their high-speed online storage needs. John Miller, Max-T’s Vice President of Worldwide Sales added, “We are pleased to extend our partnership with Bitcentral by having MAXedit as one of the complementary, integrated editing solutions that can be used seamlessly with Precis.”

“Bitcentral is excited about MAXedit Server because it is what broadcast customers have been looking for to expand newsroom productivity without increasing capital budgets while reducing engineering and maintenance cost.” said Charlie Grisham, Vice President of Sales at BitCentral. “MAXedit’s browser-based UI allows editors, producers and reporters to log, edit, and contribute stories, in virtually any broadcast video format, from anywhere there’s Internet connectivity. This complements Bitcentral ‘No-Barriers’ workflow by removing the need for content producers to be physically inside a TV station, and work in proprietary video formats, to contribute stories. MAXedit is unlike any other product on the market and Bitcentral is pleased to be one of the early companies to integrate with MAXedit Server.”
