“We are thrilled about our partnership with MARKETRON, as together we will deliver the industry’s most feature-rich, end-to-end enterprise business and play out solutions designed for TV and radio broadcasters, TV networks and content distributors,” IMAGINE COMMUNICATIONS CEO CHARLIE VOGT said. “Last week we unveiled MediaCentral, our reference architecture for the integration and virtualization of our media software, playout and automation functions.
