Tedial is showcasing its enhanced media IT platform Tedial Evolution, for the first time in Europe, at IBC 2015, taking place from 10 to 15 September, at the RAI, Amsterdam. Tedial Evolution provides broadcasters and content owners with advanced media IT tools for multi-site enterprise media asset management (MAM) and business process workflow. It significantly extends MAM functionality providing new services to surf or explore archives and improved integration between archive and workflow engines to reinforce a collaborative environment.

Smart media professionals around the globe are now demanding more benefits from the business of media management, explains Esther Mesas, Tedial s chief sales and marketing officer. They realise that the MAM of today needs to be so much more than the simple library and associated task menu of yesterday, and that perfect media management requires exceptionally well-integrated IT architecture. Smart media professionals want a MAM that applies IT technology to broadcast and media, maximising the capabilities of their modern facilities. Tedial Evolution enables multi-site, multi-platform delivery, media business reporting and much more, providing international broadcasters and global media companies with next- generation media IT tools.

New GUI

Tedial Evolution offers a completely new user experience designed to speed both manual and automated workflows. Built on Tedial s MAM platform, the new HTML5 user interface keeps frequently used tools on the screen for improved performance. True multi-screen (smartphone, tablet, etc.) and multi-platform (IOS, Android, Windows, etc.) operations allow users to manage tasks, validate media or monitor workflow status from mobile devices. The interface is fully customisable for individual preferences or work assignments, including different metadata views and screen configurations, with an integrated activity monitor and unified view of archives, workflows and business processes. The new interface also features a configurable logging board with shortcuts for actions and actors, specially designed for sports and live events. Inside the user interface is an improved media player with audio waveforms, thumbnails and locators displayed in the timeline.

New search/indexing engine

The search/indexing engine has been extended to organise/search collections and other object related entities, to indexing very large databases via shared indexes, and to automatically tag descriptive metadata based on scoring of texts using stop words. The system now autocompletes user keyword inputs and generates suggestions for every entry as it is typed. It offers new methods to surf the MAM through departments using an Amazon.com style facets category and/or group entities. The system can also auto-tag, relating assets based on the most relevant tags.

True object relational database

Harnessing the power of a true object relational database, a new set of tools provides a service to manage group entities, a multi-level classification schema (collections, albums, series, projects, rights, delivery packages, etc.) based on dynamic, changing relations. Employing the power of a real object relational database, entities are logged as assets, which can now be a repository for all shared information. Assets are categorised as members of multiple entities, according to the user needs.

Expanded Mediaset

All information related to an asset can be explored from the Mediaset view including metadata, media files, attached documents, logical versions, processing or delivery orders. Moreover, related assets (physical versions, promos, parts) and entities can be explored from the original master asset wherever they are located or associated. As part of Tedial s evolution to support DAM operations, full audio support is now available in the basic MAM. Tedial Evolution offers integration with rights management systems to ensure media is rights aware.

Extended business process management services

Business process management services have been extended to reinforce collaboration, allowing several users to work with the same asset. New collaborative processes can be defined using an extended library of foundation workflows and activities.

Embracing the IMF standard

Always adopting SMPTE and IT standards as the best way to address the need to future proof the development of software tools, Tedial has implemented the IMF schema within its MAM and workflow systems, as well as the AMWA FIMS AS-11 specifications. Tedial supports the SPMTE standards of MXF, BXF and AXF and the BPMN 2.0 notation standard for enhanced interoperability.
