Front Porch Digital has announced that its strategic relationships with Ascent Media Network Services (AMNS) and its systems integration arm AF Associates (AFA) have resulted in three new Asian broadcast accounts.

In May, Front Porch Digital had announced a global strategic relationship with AFA to jointly create integrated solutions around Front Porch's archive management and transcoding products and deploy them throughout the world. The Front Porch strategic partnership with AFA was expanded to include AMNS which is a part of the Ascent Media Group.

Front Porch Digital claims to be transforming the digital world by developing software and services that convert audio, video, images, text and data into digital formats. These enable searching, browsing, editing, storage and on-demand delivery of content in nearly any other digital format through a single capture.

Known for engineering the Future of Television, AFA provides engineering consultation and turnkey systems solutions for the broadcast, cable, entertainment, satellite, production/post production and corporate video industries. AMNS specialises in network origination, video distribution and post-production services

These organisations will now work together on new installations at AMNS' Singapore facility in support of three global media brands based in the US. Front Porch will deploy its DIVArchive management tool in each client installation. It claims that its BitScream transcoding application is also under consideration for future purchase. A strong example of AMNS' end-to-end services set, AFA has designed and will install a turnkey solution to meet the end customer requirements, and AMNS will provide and operate the broadcast services.
