At HD World last week, FOR-A showcased MediaConcierge, a media management system designed to help broadcasters take full advantage of all business opportunities that exist for their media assets. It handles tasks such as media ingest and file format conversion, allowing each asset to be repurposed for delivery via a variety of outlets, including broadcast, the Internet and packaged media.

The converter uses a new video card that FOR-A developed that supports XDCAM HD, DVCPRO HD and AVC-Intra tapeless media files.
