Ikegami Tsushinki Co., Ltd and Toshiba Corporation already announced at NAB 2007 their strategic partnership under which the two companies will jointly develop and promote an advanced video production/editing system for broadcasters and video professionals.

With the transition to digital, high-definition broadcasting now gathering pace, video production professionals increasingly require highly capable, integrated solutions that seanlessly connect all parts of the video production workflow, from news acquisition in the field, through editing and archiving, to feeding edited programs to transmission platforms. The advanced system promoted by Ikegami and Toshiba brings ideal solutions to all of the processes. It offers a superior storage platform based on open standards, and delivers enhanced levels of productivity and innovation throughout the video broadcast workflow.

The collaboration between Ikegami and Toshiba blends each company's expertise to bring new levels of workflow innovation to all stages of video production. The total system comprises the "GFCAM" Hybrid Tapeless Camera; "GFSTATION", an entirely new central video management and recording system based on flash memory; and "GFSTATION PORTABLE", a portable version of GFSTATION. All image and sound data are recorded to "GFPAK", a removeable medium that can be used with all system components. The network connectivity of all system elements creates a highly efficient, highly productive tapeless environment.

On occasion of IBC 2007 Ikegami will display the latest status of this partnership and the mentioned products.
