Introduction

The acquisition of Fabric by Xytech was finalized August 30th, 2024 and the company has been rebranded as Fabric with products: Xytech, Studio and Origin. As Fabric, we are leveraging the combined strengths of both companies resulting in:

• Access to broader resources and expertise
• Accelerated transition to a standardized, cloud-based SaaS model
• Introduction to new tools, automation and best practices

At Fabric we are fully committed to developing new, and enhancing existing, relevant features that will benefit our user base, partnering with you, as we move into the future.

The product previously known as MediaPulse or Media Operations Platform is now simply labeled as, "Xytech", and has joined the Fabric umbrella of products.

Fabric is pleased to announce the availability of our Xytech 2025 Release 11.1! 

This is the latest release of our Xytech product. Our plan in 2025 is to have smaller, more frequent releases that include both new features and defect fixes. The release pace will be determined by content but will initially be on a 4-10 week cadence.

Xytech 2025 release 11.1 is the latest general availability release for all customers that utilize the Xytech including:

• Customers currently using Media Operations Platform Granite, Media Operations Platform 10.2 / 10.4 / 10.6 / 11.0, or MediaPulse 9.x or earlier. 
• Customers upgrading from MediaPulse versions earlier than 9.x are strongly encouraged to make use of a professional services engagement to assist in the transition.
• Customers migrating from ScheduALL to Xytech including those deploying transmission capabilities for dynamic bandwidth scheduling management.
• Customers previously on a custom source branch of MediaPulse*.

*Note: Source branches were previously used under prior ownership to allow development of new functionality sponsored by a site in advance of standard product development. This helped Xytech flesh out gaps that the site required. That program has now ended. These Branched Sites need to be brought back to the standard Xytech product. If you are currently on a custom branch, please work with your Support Rep for details concerning when an upgrade to the standard product is right for you!
