XOS 2009 Thunder Platform to Support Full Panasonic P2 Integration

New for
2009, XOS Technologies’ Thunder Editing
Platform sports full Panasonic P2 workflow support. Thunder provides users with an integrated Panasonic
P2 media ingest.

“Direct P2 import will really streamline my editing workflow,” says
Jamie Guy, director of sports video for the University of Colorado.
“With Thunder I am able to import 40 minutes of video in six minutes, which
will save me hours editing practice, games, and quickly delivering content to
our coaching staff.”

XOS’ clients
have also benefited from P2 compatibility in SportsPro and Director this past
season with the addition of the XOS Auto Ingest application.

“I’ve used XOS Auto Ingest with my Game Day SportsPro
System as well with Director to automate the ingest of all P2 media,” says Matt
Harper, director of video operations for Northwestern University.
“By adding Auto Ingest to my practice editing workflow, I actually have time to
make it out to the field to catch the few periods of practice.”

Since 2006,
XOS and Panasonic have collaborated on sports technology solutions for football
and basketball. During the past year, P2 technology has been incorporated into
all XOS coaching platforms.

“We’re
excited to see XOS integrating P2 into the 2009 Thunder Editing Platform as
well as implementing P2 compatibility with their legacy products, Director and
SportsPro,” says Dom Cicchetti, college sports manager for Panasonic Broadcast.

“Our P2 technology enables video personnel to dramatically increase
workflow efficiency, allowing more time for game preparation and less time
spent ingesting video.”
