[SatNews] At BroadcastAsia2013, Front Porch Digital will showcase its DIVArchive® V7.1 content storage management (CSM) system. New features and capabilities make the system ideal for a broader array of applications. The new AXF Explorer offers an intuitive interface for parsing Archive eXchange Format (AXF) objects, with straightforward operations that are performed using drag-and-drop procedures just like in the Windows® operating system.
DIVArchive V7.1 also enables a complete range of world-class video transcoding and workflows and is directly integrated with Telestream‘s Vantage® Transcode and Vantage Transcode Pro. The enhancements to DIVArchive extend its applicability to media operations of every kind—broadcasters, educational and heritage institutions, the film industry, and government entities. With its unique ability to interconnect every element of operations from archive to production to transmission, DIVArchive V7.1 becomes the highly effective foundation on which to base cost-effective, seamless file-based workflows.
In March, Front Porch Digital announced an agreement with file-transfer software company Data Expedition Inc.® to integrate its ExpeDat™ WAN acceleration product into DIVArchive® V7.1. The integration gives DIVArchive users a WAN acceleration option that is fully managed and supported by Front Porch Digital. It is the first direct integration of a WAN acceleration protocol directly into a CSM cloud-based solution.
LYNXSM from Front Porch Digital is the industry’s first enterprise-scale cloud implementation of content storage management (CSM). LYNX delivers adaptable on-demand scalability, reduces capital and operational costs, and revolutionizes the way media organizations manage assets. LYNX leverages the latest cloud and web technologies to provide a range of networked and distributed solutions. The company will show LYNXdr and LYNXlocal at BroadcastAsia2013. LYNXdr is a hosted disaster recovery service that allows global media enterprises to centralize critical assets and consolidate operations, and LYNXlocal is a simple extension to LYNX that operates locally as an appliance, caching cloud content and providing integration to specialized systems, if needed. LYNXlocal is billed as a service element at a low monthly rate.
Front Porch Digital will also showcase its SAMMA® product lines at BroadcastAsia2013. These solutions are the first of their kind to automate the digitization of videotape, moving content into secure, accessible, and searchable digital storage. SAMMArobot and SAMMAsolo take content from videotape on the shelf into the digital environment using an automated workflow that’s tried and tested in high-profile installations. The SAMMAsolo product line offers a range of migration solutions built to meet specific archive migration needs. In solutions ranging from a single SAMMAsolo to a multiple-stream SAMMArobot, efficiency is maximized by simultaneous encoding to multiple formats while content is analyzed to ensure the quality of the migration.
