Hi,
I had a look at the site you mentioned.
I can tell you one thing - newsroom automation, broadcast automation
and media assets management are fields which have major players
including Grass Valley Group, Inscriber, Leitch, Dayang, Avid, Natural
Studio, Sony, Panasonic, Thomson, etc. I am not sure if I can get you
details of their pricing, market share, etc., but I can certainly get
you the information on their products.
These products and solutions are high-end, complex and systems that
need large-scale integration. If you understand what I mean, it is not
like a single stand-alone item that like a video server or a switcher,
of which one can find a price. Mostly, these systems are integrated
from various components according to the needs of the user.
I was personally technical consultant for a TV channel where I worked
with a number of these solution-providers to envisage a complete
newsroom automation and asset management system. The process took 4
months to complete, culminating in a report that had schematics and
component listings, and of course, a total price including system
design, integration and installation costs.
warm regards
