Not another platform to get locked into.
A framework everything runs through.

Introducing Marquis Framework

Not another platform to get locked into.
A framework everything runs through.

The content supply chain isn't a linear pipeline, it's a complex mesh of formats and metadata. Archive content feeds back into production. Audience analytics reshape what gets created. And live ingest triggers orchestration, transcoding, distribution and archiving simultaneously.

Every facility runs this mesh on a patchwork of disconnected vendor tools never designed to talk to each other. Marquis Framework is the result of nearly 30 years of building the connectors, translators and workflow engines that make multi-vendor broadcasting work. It is a layer that complements best-of-breed in-house tools, allowing disparate systems to work in harmony.

Acquire & ingest

Fast, efficient camera-to-first-edit workflows with live ingest and instant editing of growing files

  • Ingest from cameras in the field
  • Open choice of production ingest and playout tools
  • Ingest live feeds into production with growing file support

Processing & QC

Transcode, caption, format convert and quality check – increasingly cloud-elastic

  • Local editing of cloud-hosted content
  • Archive management for Avid MediaCentral without an Avid archive
  • Standardising legacy Op1a content

Distribution & delivery

Linear playout, OTT, CDN, FAST, social – connect the tools you need for the output viewers want

  • Synchronising on-premise and NEXIS on AWS
  • Simultaneous linear playout and VOD delivery from a single master
  • Fast playout of sequences for live broadcasts

Storage & asset management

Optimise news and production and migrate archived media without metadata silos

  • Integrate centralised cloud archive with multiple production systems
  • Cloud asset management and local production
  • Automated and manual card ingest

Monetisation & analytics

FinOps tells you exactly what your workflow costs, with subscriptions, rights tracking and usage

  • Analyse workspaces to find, de-duplicate and sweep orphaned media
  • Dashboard enables usage tracking, ideal for multi-site companies

Production & edit

Use your existing best-of-breed systems and optimise media and metadata flow

  • Integrate independent production systems in different locations and dynamically share content
  • Manage content in third-party systems while allowing proxy ingest and hi-res relinking with Avid

Orchestration & workflow

Not a single-vendor platform you’re locked into, but a framework you link into

  • Support for multi-specification workflows and ring-fenced processing
  • Audio track matrixing and processing
  • Avid production integrations with MAM systems

Archive & repurpose

Integrate your archive into all workflows and empower the use and reuse of archived content

  • Integrate content management in AWS with editing in Azure
  • Regional archives federated into a single national production estate
  • Bringing legacy content into an MXF Op1a-based MAM
