One platform. Three dimensions.
THE FIRST DIMENSION is the range of services, covering the whole lifecycle of assets, automating studio production, management, playout, and distribution. Create-Manage-Deliver. Or ASTRA Studio - GEMINI - ASTRA MCR.
THE SECOND DIMENSION is the environment; it can operate in any combination of On-Prem, Remote and Multi-Cloud.
THE THIRD DIMENSION is integration. Aveco has a comprehensive library of integrated 3rd party products.
Across all three dimensions, ASTRA Media Factory extends unified workflows and provides a unified user experience.
