Rede Evangelizar boosts capabilities and moves to cloud archive with EditShare
Brazilian broadcaster adds storage, control and cloud sync
Boston, MA, November 29, 2022 – EditShare®, the technology leader that enables storytellers to create and manage collaborative media workflows, has greatly extended its storage and content management system at Rede Evangelizar é Preciso, the religious broadcaster in Brazil. As well as boosting operational performance, the new installation also allows Rede Evangelizar to migrate its archive from LTO tapes to the cloud.
Rede Evangelizar, under the guidance of Father Reginaldo Manzotti, was launched in 2011, based in the city of Curitiba, south-west of São Paulo. As its success continued to grow, it extended its in-house production and post facilities, adding its first EditShare servers in 2017.
This major expansion, designed and implemented by EditShare’s local system integration partner CIS Group, includes a FLOW Ingest server and EFS online storage, as well as FLOW asset management, metadata controller and additional production nodes. The integral FLEX Cloud Sync software applications ensure that all media is securely backed up, with archives and restore functionality in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud.
“We had found our original EditShare installation to be a very powerful tool for us,” said Renan Borges, post production coordinator at Rede Evangelizar é Preciso. “As our productions grew in size and complexity, we needed to boost our operational performance and allow more users access to our content. EditShare and CIS Group readily understood our requirements, and proposed an excellent technical solution, support for the migration, and the ability to move our archive to the cloud which gives us lifecycle cost savings as well as easier operations.”
Said Bacho, Chief Revenue Officer at EditShare added, “CIS Group was able to put together a very attractive package, including long-term licensing and continuing support, it meant we could deliver all the functionality Rede Evangelizar needed, at the right price point, and help them achieve the operational streamlining they sought.”
“It’s important to see that the partnership between CIS and EditShare has brought a level of trust to our customers. With the upgrade of Rede Evangelizar’s system to the new EditShare FLOW tools, we will optimize the end-to-end workflow, offer greater productivity and efficiency, and also guarantee greater production quality,” said Alberto Santana, Territory Account Manager at CIS Group. The extensions to the EditShare architecture at Rede Evangelizar are being installed at the end of 2022, and will go live in the first quarter of 2023.

Flexible, cloud-enabled workflows, project synchronization with NLEs, LUT and RAW support, live capture and more
Boston, MA – March 17, 2022 –EditShare®, the technology leader that enables storytellers to create and manage collaborative media workflows, will showcase its continuing efforts to make post production seamlessly creative at NAB2022 (Las Vegas Convention Center, 24-27 April, booth N3008). The latest enhancements provide unrivalled interworking and even greater content security and availability.
Creatives will be excited to see project synchronization with NLEs, including Media Composer, Adobe® Premiere® Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and EditShare’s FLOW workflow tools. The next release of the core FLOW software will include the first implementation of this integration, allowing complex projects to be readily moved between EditShare media management and the NLE environment.
“This is all about simplifying the day-to-day experience for our customers,” said Sunil Mudholkar, VP Product Management, EditShare. “We have always provided interoperability with the NLE editing environment, but with this latest development we eliminate manual drag and drop, ensuring project information is continually updated.”
Also added to FLOW is the ability to support the latest RAW format updates for RED and Blackmagic Design camera systems and impose LUTs in real time, both on full resolution material and on proxies. For news and sports fast turnaround editing, FLOW can now ingest NDI contribution feeds and immediately present them for editing. The NAB demonstration will also show how the Helmut 4 orchestration platform from MoovIT makes Adobe and EditShare the perfect environment for high pressure operations.
Content security and availability is vital to professional users, and EditShare is adding new hardware and software in this area. The EFS 60NL is a new device, aimed at nearline storage, and providing 60 drive bays in 4U of rack space. Within the EditShare environment, nearline storage is ideal for content which is needed but not being immediately worked on, ready to be transferred to the online servers with virtually no delay.
Adding to the security and sharing concept, EFS Multi-Site allows users with multiple locations to leverage built-in file acceleration to synchronize project storage between EFS clusters in different facilities. This ensures that users have ready access to content, wherever they choose to work. Cloud Sync extends the capabilities of Multi-Site to cloud video storage, providing added flexibility in access as well as security in archiving. Further enhancements to the company’s cloud offering and partnership with AWS are due to be announced next month.
“We are so pleased to be able to meet our friends, customers and collaborators at NAB2022,” said Stephen Tallamy, CTO, EditShare. “We’re excited to be showing so many new innovations, all of which are either available now or will be in the June 2022 software release, and of course we can’t wait to officially collect our recently awarded Emmy® from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) at a ceremony during the show.”
