MLB uses Episode Engine to bridge Mac-based/FC production/graphics environment with a GV K2 system and Electrasonic-based editing environment which are not natively compatible. Episode Engine enabled MLB to quickly bridge that gap and provides integration with Final Cut Server. It also enabled MLB to make MPEG-2 HD transport streams and GXF needed for their workflows between graphics systems, editing systems and playout servers. Speed, format support and integration with Apple systems were the driving forces for purchasing Episode Engine
