NAB 2011: Grass Valley today introduced Stratus, a platform for streamlining producers and content providers’ workflows.

The US-headquartered firm said the platform is designed to ingest, manage, edit, and play out assets stored on the company’s K2 Summit (pictured), K2 Solo servers or a K2 storage area network.

The integrated modular software features a common graphical user interface for content creation through to distribution.

“Most vendors provide a single application designed for a single user performing a specific task, without any other capabilities available to them,” said senior vice president of Editing, Servers, and Storage for Grass Valley, Charlie Dunn.

“Stratus is a common, intuitive framework that can be used by everyone within a media company and allows one person to do many tasks from their own desktop.”

Users can reconfigure and build their own workspace and save their personalised settings so that wherever they log in from they will see their screen set-up with the tools they have requested.

The first Windows version of Stratus will be available in June 2011.
