ITV Studios’ International Production Arm Extends Partnership with Avid to Standardize and Streamline Post-Production Workflows

International production labels across 11 countries and part of ITV PLC, which includes the UK’s biggest commercial broadcaster, sign new subscription deal to upgrade editing and storage workflows

BURLINGTON, Mass., Sept. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ITV Studios, the production and distribution arm of ITV PLC, which includes the UK’s biggest commercial broadcaster, has signed a new subscription deal with Avid® (Nasdaq: AVID) to standardize its media storage and ways of working across its international studios in Europe and Australia.

The new agreement will provide ITV Studios’ international labels with subscriptions to the latest Avid NEXIS® F-Series storage engines, and Media Composer® video editing with Avid NEXIS | EDGE™, allowing editors and production teams to work and collaborate from anywhere, and streamline workflows throughout their post-production facilities.

Rob O’Brien, Head of International Technology, ITV Studios, explains, “Avid’s leading-edge technology aligns perfectly with the preferences of our editors. This partnership underscores our commitment to providing the best tools for our teams globally, ensuring ITV Studios remains at the pinnacle of content creation.”

Avid’s Chief Revenue Officer Tom Cordiner adds, “We’re delighted the international production arm of ITV Studios is growing its partnership with Avid. This new Avid end-to-end deployment standardizes their set-up, gives a consistent way of working, and resolves the legacy issues that can come from using different storage platforms. In addition, Avid’s floating licence server gives ITV’s studios across Europe and Australia access to editing licences from a common source. This in turn will enable better cost control across all their studios.”

Avid NEXIS F-series storage engines offer performance that can scale to more than 30 GBps, giving ITV Studios’ production teams the power to accelerate the most complex media workflows. The engines’ speed and capacity are designed to accommodate growing projects and team numbers collaborating remotely without disruption or down time.

Avid NEXIS | EDGE enables editors to work from anywhere with the same media access, workflow, and user experience as if they were editing at the facility. With a secure proxy workflow for editors using Media Composer | Enterprise, teams can find, organize, storyboard, edit, and review content from the facility, at home, or on location.

This agreement with the international arm of ITV Studios builds on a similar deal signed by Avid with ITV Studios’ UK business earlier in the summer.

DAT Truckload Volume Index: Freight volumes bounced back in August

DAT Truckload Volume Index: Freight volumes bounced back in August

BEAVERTON, Ore.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Truckload freight volumes increased in August as shippers positioned freight ahead of the fourth quarter, said DAT Freight & Analytics, operators of the DAT One freight marketplace and DAT iQ data analytics service.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230918882743/en/

Freight volumes bounced back in August (Graphic: DAT Freight & Analytics)

Freight volumes bounced back in August (Graphic: DAT Freight & Analytics)

Buoyed by shipments of retail goods and fresh food, the DAT Truckload Volume Index (TVI) increased for van, refrigerated (“reefer”) and flatbed freight compared to July:

  • Van TVI: 241, up 8% from July and down 8% year over year
  • Reefer TVI: 175, up 4% from July and down 5% year over year
  • Flatbed TVI: 259, up 9% from July and down 0.4% year over year

Load-to-truck ratios strengthened

DAT’s national average van and reefer load-to-truck ratios rose in August, reflecting higher demand for these services:

  • Van ratio: 2.8, up from 2.6 in July, meaning there were 2.8 loads for every truck on the DAT One marketplace
  • Reefer ratio: 4.4, up from 3.8
  • Flatbed ratio: 6.0, down from 7.1

Spot line-haul rates slipped

Broker-to-carrier benchmark spot rates strengthened as carriers negotiated to cover rising fuel expenses. The DAT benchmark spot van rate was $2.09 per mile in August, up 2 cents compared to July, while the reefer rate gained 7 cents to $2.51 per mile. The flatbed rate slipped 3 cents to $2.54 a mile.

Line-haul rates, which subtract an amount equal to a fuel surcharge, tumbled compared to July:

  • Line-haul van rate: $1.57 per mile, down 6 cents

  • Line-haul reefer rate: $1.94 a mile, down 2 cents

  • Line-haul flatbed rate: $1.89, down 12 cents

Contract rates declined

DAT benchmark rates for contracted freight have not increased month over month since May 2022:

  • Contract van rate: $2.57 per mile, unchanged

  • Contract reefer rate: $2.99 a mile, up 8 cents

  • Contract flatbed rate: $3.19 a mile, down 10 cents

“At 48 cents, the gap between our benchmark spot and contract van rates was the least it’s been since April 2022,” said Ken Adamo, DAT Chief of Analytics. “We expect the pricing difference to narrow further, with contract rates falling over the next 12 months and spot rates increasing. In the near term, the fourth quarter will be a busy time for freight. It’s important to come into the months ahead armed with pricing data and strategies you trust.”

About the DAT Truckload Volume Index

The DAT Truckload Volume Index reflects the change in the number of loads with a pickup date during that month; the actual index number is normalized each month to accommodate any new data sources without distortion. A baseline of 100 equals the number of loads moved in January 2015, as recorded in DAT RateView, a truckload pricing database and analysis tool with rates paid on an average of 3 million loads per month.

Spot truckload rates are negotiated for each load and paid to the carrier by a freight broker. National average spot rates are derived from payments to carriers by freight brokers, third-party logistics providers and other transportation buyers for hauls of 250 miles or more with a pickup date during the month reported. DAT’s rate analysis is based on $150 billion in annualized freight transactions.

Load-to-truck ratios reflect truckload supply and demand on the DAT One marketplace and indicate the pricing environment for spot truckload freight.

About DAT Freight & Analytics

DAT Freight & Analytics operates the largest truckload freight marketplace in North America. Shippers, transportation brokers, carriers, news organizations and industry analysts rely on DAT for market trends and data insights based on more than 400 million freight matches and a database of $150 billion in annual market transactions.

Founded in 1978, DAT is a business unit of Roper Technologies (Nasdaq: ROP), a constituent of the S&P 500 and Fortune 1000 indices.

Redflow and Ameresco to deploy microgrid for United States Department of Defense

BRISBANE, Australia, Sept. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Redflow Limited (ASX: RFX), a global leader in clean energy storage, and Ameresco, Inc. (NYSE: AMRC), a leading cleantech integrator specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, are pleased to announce that Redflow has signed a US$2.83 million contract with the United States Department of Defense’s (DOD) Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to deliver a prototype microgrid using a 1.2 to 1.4 MWh Redflow long duration energy storage (LDES) system.

Redflow will partner with Ameresco as their subcontracted engineering to deliver the microgrid project. The project, which aims to extend the duration of energy storage for existing installations, will repower a solar-powered microgrid currently located at the Stewart Air National Guard Base in New York state.

The repowered microgrid project scope will integrate Redflow’s 1.2 – 1.4 MWh LDES solution, enabling the microgrid to provide a dispatchable solar + storage resource for peak shaving and energy resilience.

Redflow’s solution will demonstrate scalable flow batteries at MWh scale and restore microgrid-controllable renewables at a military industrial scale for integration for the Air Force base, with the objective of delivering a stronger base of power for improved returns on existing investments to enhance resilience.

This project comes from Redflow’s selection for participation in DIU’s Extended Duration Storage for Installations program. The program is designed to match innovative LDES technologies to projects that demonstrate additional technological capability by providing energy resilience and power backup across the DOD’s 450+ global bases.

Redflow CEO and Managing Director Tim Harris said, “We are proud to have been selected as the energy storage technology provider for this US Department of Defense microgrid project.”

“We have been working with the Defense Innovation Unit for the past year to support their energy resilience objectives across the military’s global operations. To be selected as the solution provider is validation that Redflow’s LDES solutions hold the potential to deliver significant benefits to US Department of Defense installations worldwide,” added Mr Harris.

“This groundbreaking microgrid project at Stewart Air National Guard Base exemplifies the deployment of innovative technologies to deliver resilient, sustainable solutions at US military installations,” said Nicole Bulgarino, Executive Vice President, Ameresco. “Together with Redflow, we’re energized to witness how this microgrid will bolster base resilience and set new standards for clean energy advancement, inspiring a green and resilient future for US Department of Defense installations worldwide.”

The Department of Air Force aims to use the repowered Stewart Air National Guard Base solar energy microgrid with 1.2 – 1.4 MWh of Redflow energy storage to provide energy resilience for critical loads on the base. The microgrid will also provide a dispatchable solar + storage resource that is capable of peak shaving and supports the State of New York’s clean energy goals. If successful, the solution could be rolled out across numerous US Department of Defense facilities and critical infrastructure around the world.

Deployment and commissioning of this system is planned for the second half of 2024.

Barrack, Rodos & Bacine Encourages Napco Security Technologies (NSSC) Shareholders to Contact the Firm

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — On August 18, 2023, Napco Securities Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: NSSC) – a manufacturer of security products, such as electronic locks and alarms – revealed that it had not maintained appropriate financial reporting controls. In a statement released after the close of the market, the company said it had “identified certain errors related to the Company’s calculation of the cost of goods sold and inventory for each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2023.” Napco also revealed that it had overstated gross profit, operating income, and net income in each of these periods, meaning that its financial statements for these periods were false and will need to be restated. Multiple financial analysts downgraded Napco shares and its share price fell by more than $21 per share, or over 45%, wiping out in excess of $635 million in market capitalization. With these disclosures, Barrack Rodos & Bacine (BR&B) immediately began to investigate the situation.

On August 30, 2023, a class action lawsuit was filed on behalf of purchasers of Napco shares between November 7, 2022 and August 18, 2023 (the “class period”). The complaint asserts violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The plaintiff cites the above-mentioned financial restatements and the weaknesses in internal controls giving rise to them as support for claims that the company made materially false and misleading statements during the class period.

If you have sustained losses in your investment in shares of Napco, we encourage you to discuss your rights by contacting Mark R. Stein or Linda Border at Barrack, Rodos & Bacine, at the toll-free number 877-386-3304, or via email at [email protected]. Investors who purchased shares of Napco stock between November 7, 2022, and August 18, 2023, and suffered a loss may be eligible to seek a lead plaintiff position, a court-appointed role. The deadline for persons seeking to serve as a lead plaintiff for this case is October 30, 2023.

For information about this matter and about Barrack, Rodos & Bacine, please visit the firm’s website.

Barrack Rodos & Bacine is a nationally recognized shareholder and consumer rights law firm with offices in Pennsylvania, New York, and California.
