Content archive and storage management software company SGL has announced the first sale of its Interplay Web Services Plug-in with partial file restore to Puerto Rican independent television station WAPA-TV.

Powered by Glookast, the partial file restore functionality is seen as a key feature for WAPA-TV as it enables editors to select and restore elements of a clip directly from the archive in high resolution.

SGL’s Interplay Web Service Plug-in also provides WAPA-TV with drag-and-drop archiving using Interplay watch folders, without the need for an archiving system such as Avid Interplay. Prior to the launch of Interplay Web Service Plug-in, partial file restore functionality could only be achieved using the full system. SGL’s support for Avid Interplay Web Services now means that customers can use the archive capabilities that they currently require, but can employ Avid Interplay|Archive at any time in the future without the need to re-archive any content.

“We were impressed with the way that SGL handled this project and tightly coordinated their efforts with Avid,” said Larry Thaler, CEO of project consultant Positive Flux. “The installation was well planned and the partial restore feature is a big hit with the customer.”
