MADRID, SPAIN - SGO (www.sgo.es) has unveiled its new workflows ecosystem, which consists of Creator, Runner, Slate, Bridge and Render. The suite of tools aim to reimagine how professionals design, run, collaborate and distribute their workflows in a completely automated way.
Workflows Creator is an all-in-one automation tool that allows the user to design, orchestrate and publish workflows inside a node-based interface. Workflows Creator combines an intuitive interface with extensive, powerful capabilities to build and define specific automation processes relevant to almost any industry.
Workflows Runner is a free desktop application that allows individuals or teams to configure and launch their workflows without the need to touch the pipeline. Runner connects everyone and powers everything, where workflows previously designed in Creator can be configured and run in the application with ease.
Workflows Slate, which is coming soon, accelerates the creation of burn-in and slate templates, eliminating any manual processes and significantly reducing the time to prepare deliverables. The application runs directly in the browser, providing a clean, intuitive interface that adapts the design to the specific needs of each workflow. A key capability of the tool is the ability to incorporate virtually any metadata parameter into the template, including custom parameters enabling designs to adapt to any requirement of clients, broadcasters or platforms. In addition, the tool generates thumbnail elements automatically, displaying a frame from the associated clip. These templates can be downloaded and used directly in Creator or Runner,
where they integrate with the platform’s automation and processing engine.
Workflows Bridge is a secure file intake platform for post teams that enables custom client validation portals. Files are automatically checked against user-defined technical rules, and built-in tools allow issues to be resolved on the spot. The web-based platform is fully integrated with Workflows Creator, where each portal connects directly to the automation engine, turning a validated file receipt into an immediate trigger for downstream workflows.
Workflows Render is the processing mechanism that powers the suite. It manages the workflows, libraries and distributes tasks across render nodes or farms with unlimited scalability. Whether users need to process thousands of jobs simultaneously or handle unpredictable workloads on demand, Render provides the infrastructure and intelligence to deliver results reliably and efficiently.
