The SeaChangeĀ Universal MediaLibrary (UML) meets the demands for scalable, reliable and multi-format play-to-air storage of today's broadcast operations. Considered as the next-generation IP storage, this enterprise-class server infrastructure offers simple-to-manage, open storage that enables broadcasters to economically deploy and expand their operations.

Moreover, current and future users of the SeaChange Broadcast MediaLibrary (BML) 24000ex can also take advantage of this integration, as SeaChange BML 24000ex - a high performance, fault-resilient digital media library - also supports Baton's automated content verification solution. BML 24000ex caters to media companies that aim to achieve a seamless, highly reliable tapeless workflow.
