With Jazz, the definition of resources includes software, hardware and content in addition to editors, artists and animators. Once you add these things into the equation, Jazz becomes more than just a tool for production companies to work together. It can include the companies that make the hardware used in production, the software suppliers to the industry and the stock footage houses that provide content used in the video and film production process. All of the features that we've written about in the past seem to be included in the Jazz Media Network. The first, of course, is access to a fast network.
Jazz is a private, broadband network.
According to the company, the results in a stable, secure, controlled environment. As a private network, Jazz is not subject to the changes in speed and accessibility that plague users of public networks. Every company and location connected to the network has access to reliable, high-speed connections. Should a problem occur with the network, there is one company that is responsible for dealing with it quickly and effectively. This is fast enough to allow real-time transfers of D1 quality video material for those companies that need it.
