Changing how stories are told with DiNA and Mimir

 

At this year’s NAB Show NY event, Fonn Group is presenting award winning products from Fonn Group companies Mjoll and 7Mountains.

Fonn Group launched their US operation in February 2020 and with this the launch of products Mimir and DiNA in the US market. Both products are awarded Product of the Year 2020 by NAB Show (see Oct 9, 2020 press release here).
 

With our US and Americas launch of Mimir and 7Mountains, as well as the opening of Fonn Group Americas earlier this year, we have entered the US market with products that meet today’s requirements for working from anywhere, for moving newsrooms to the cloud, and for managing media with smarter tools. The acknowledgement from NAB Show is extremely important for us. We look forward to showing our great products during the upcoming NAB Show New York event”, says Isaac Hersly, CEO of Fonn Group Americas.

 

A new breed of workflow tools

Since the US and worldwide launch, Fonn Group companies Mjoll and 7mountains have gained attention in the broadcast and media industry, as well as for corporate video users, for their groundbreaking products for journalists, producers, researchers and editors. 

DiNA is taking over newsrooms worldwide, as a tool for journalists to plan, create and publish their stories to linear TV, social media, CMS/online; all from within one unified tool. DiNA is challenging the traditional newsroom control room solutions (NRCS) with an entirely new way of storytelling in the cloud and across news departments, with a true multi-platform approach. DiNA went live with the first customer in March 2020 with new online channel ausbiz. Danish TV 2 /Fyn have replaced their traditional on-premise newsroom solution with DiNA for their entire newsroom, amongst other cloud based tools. 

Customers worldwide are using Mimir to connect their media workflows to the cloud and for using AI technology to automatic speech-to-text transcription, subtitling, translations, object- and face detection and more. Mimir is integrated with Adobe Premiere Pro.  You can access Mimir directly from Adobe Premiere Pro, hosted within the editing application, making all the regular Mimir functionality available for the video editor inside Premiere. Customers are, amongst others, Feature Story News, Al Arabiya News Channel, Danish Radio, IMG Norway and IMG Sweden, TV 2/FYN, Screen Story, Sky News Australia, and ausbiz.
