Bitcentral has announced a reseller agreement with Foccus Digital to distribute Bitcentral’s news production suite, Core News, and automated master control system, Central Control, in Brazil. The agreement, which sees Foccus appointed as a value-added reseller, involves technical support from Foccus’s highly trained team, pre-sales, and sales.
“Our reseller agreement with Foccus is great news because it allows us to invest in a region that is a core part of our growth strategy,” says Sam Peterson, General Manager Core Products Business Unit, at Bitcentral. “The size of the market makes Brazil an obvious target for our expansion but we know that supporting broadcasters as they produce and manage content right through to launching and maintaining live channels is a complex business. We need strong local partnerships to provide the necessary support. Foccus comes with years of experience in broadcast technology in the region and a depth of expertise that matches our own.”
Core News provides an elegant and efficient way to handle news production and is optimized to tasks that are vital to keeping mission critical newsroom operations running smoothly. It is trusted by over 450 channels across North America and over 1,000 media operations worldwide, delivering unparalleled levels of reliability and agility across ingest, asset management and live production. It allows broadcasters to maximize the value of their stories, producing content once and publishing it multiple times, and delivers the fastest camera to air toolset on the market with a highly customizable system that can be tailored to the needs of individual stations.
