La Télé Vaud Fribourg Chooses GB Labs and IMC for Its Next-Generation Broadcast Platform.

La Télé, the premier regional television network serving the French-speaking cantons of Vaud and Fribourg,
today unveils its newly overhauled storage and production infrastructure in partnership with GB Labs and IMC
Technologies.
This state-of-the-art system guarantees La Télé’s continued delivery of timely
political, economic, societal, sports, and cultural coverage across the region.
Building on years of successful collaboration, La Télé has upgraded from its legacy GB Labs
NAS to a GB Labs FastNAS F16 NitroMAX server, providing 160 TB of ultra-fast shared
storage. At the core of this environment is IMC’s Incite MAM solution, which now
orchestrates every stage of the file workflow—from live SDI ingest and memory-card
transfers to media management, transcoding, and archiving—seamlessly and in real time on
the FastNAS platform.
Key Benefits of the New Workflow
• High-Speed Collaborative Editing
Twenty-five Non-Linear Editing suites connect via 10 GbE and 25 GbE links to the
FastNAS, enabling native editing of MXF XDCAM 50 Mbps streams. Editors can work
concurrently in Adobe Premiere Pro or through Incite’s intuitive Media Producer
interface, with instant access to shared footage and conflict-free version control.
• Advanced Metadata Indexing
Incite’s flexible metadata schema allows operators to tag and categorize clips on
ingest—such as scene, speaker, location, or event—so that footage can be located
and repurposed within seconds, accelerating the editorial cycle without AI
dependencies.
• Automated Project Setup & Management
Incite MAM instantly generates standardized folder structures and project templates
for each production, reducing setup time by up to 50% and ensuring consistency
across all teams.
• Efficient Nearline Archiving
GB Labs’ ECHO 16 nearline system archives daily content automatically, while Incite
maintains a live index, ensuring even legacy footage is just a few clicks away.
• Integrated Newsroom Preview
Through a direct link to La Télé’s Octopus news production system, journalists gain
immediate access to high-resolution files and low-res proxies.
This integration enables on-the-fly browsing, review, and approval of packages without leaving the
newsroom interface.
• Scalable, Future-Proof Architecture
The modular FastNAS NitroMAX design provides enterprise-grade data protection
and performance today, with straightforward expansion options to meet tomorrow’s
bandwidth and capacity demands at a predictable cost.
“GB Labs storage is fast, easy to use and very efficient. The F16 NitroMAX handles all the
tasks that are needed simultaneously,” said François Vittoz, Technical Director at La Télé.
