See how Fastrack, the dynamic and flexible control engine from Editware, is being used today and everyday around the world . . .

 ABC New York is using Fastrack to edit to multiple record devices simultaneously, using Avid editors, outputting 720p with 60 fps timecode, as sources (yes, 60fps!).
   
                                            
Sony Entertainment, NBC Universal, the Discovery Channel, and the Hallmark Channel, all use Fastrack as the front end to program and control their Prime Image Time Tailors to undetectably reduce the size of program content and to reformat commercial breaks.

  Prime TV, Australia is using Fastrack to create over 100 promos per shift for their entire cable operation.  Live studio talent is effected into pre-built donuts residing on their Omneon servers, and graphics and animations are added by controlling a PixelPower Clarity CG and integrated BrandMaster switcher, all in real-time.  Instant changes to the CG text can be made directly through the Fastrack interface to the PixelPower Clarity CG.

 WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) use Fastrack to put together their weekly episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown.  Shot Tuesday nights throughout the United States, up to 20 tapes arrive early Wednesday morning and are immediately ingested into the Grass Valley K2 server.  Two Fastrack edit sessions load a line cut and as many as 7 camera iso clips onto the Fastrack timelines to fix and/or compile a finished show, editing directly to the K2 server or videotape.  The finished programs can then be imported into their Fairlight for audio sweetening or into their GV Aurora NLE.  The final mixed version is then fed via satellite to their broadcast network.

NBC News in New York and  CBS News in New York, both use Fastrack to record their primary live news feed to EVS servers, and replay the feed for each U.S. time zone, updating news stories in real-time as they change.  Fastrack is used to edit these changes live into the program as it is being played to air.

 CBS Hollywood hit shows Entertainment Tonight & The Insider use Fastrack to insert edit from their studio, VTRs, and K2 server channels directly to their GV K2 server SAN.

  DirectTV uses Fastrack to control their server network, mixers, switchers, VTRs and additional peripheral equipment, to prep and compile 24 hour-per-day, 7-day-per-week satellite broadcasts throughout South America.

 C-Span has four Fastrack hybrid edit suites connected to a very large GV Profile SAN. These suites are used for editing promos, long and short format shows, as well as time and content reduction.

 Atlantic Video in Washington, D.C. controls nine GV Profile server channels, synchronizing a line-cut with eight iso feeds for pre-air fixes to the ESPN sports show “Around The Horn”.

  MNDOT uses Fastrack for long and short form training videos.  Studio shows are completed syncing multiple iso sources and switching live.  They also network with the GV K2 server and the GV Edius editor to import clips for fixes and finishing.
  France 3 in Lyon, France uses Fastrack to control & edit with their EVS servers, Snell Kahuna switcher, and Merging Audio system for special long-format programming.
