delete it. It's easy to manage your content with
Crispin AssetBase and Archive Manager. Unlike
other automation vendors, Crispin has our own
archive solution that was designed to fit with
your workflow, not an interface to a third party
archive solution that was built for IT shops.
We know how to get the content to where it needs
to go and we know how to get out of the way when
you want to manage it yourself.
Crispin offers a complete line of automation
systems and solutions. From asset acquisition
and management to play-out and on-air presentation,
Crispin can help your organization define and
implement a broadcast automation solution that
is best for you.
Most importantly, we provide modular, affordable
solutions. We allow you to buy the piece of the
solution that you need without having to buy an
entire system. You can "mouse over"
some of the modules listed below for additional
product information.


Crispin can tailor a purpose-built solution
that fulfills your needs using modules
that work together. If you need your broadcast
solution to perform minute changes in a
live environment, or central-casting from
one or more remote locations, or just making
the work of controlling many channels almost
effortless for operators, Crispin can tailor
a system that provides precision control
and reliability that is unmatched in the
industry. Our systems are modular in design
and database independent, providing an organic
workflow to your operations
by using only the pieces that match your
operations, plans and budget.
