Tedial Evolution takes center stage in Vienna at FIAT/IFTA 2015 30 September 2015

Tedial showcases award-winning advanced Media IT tools

Tedial, the leading independent MAM technology solutions specialist, is showcasing its award-winning enhanced Media IT platform Tedial Evolution, at the FIAT/IFTA 2015 World Conference in Vienna. The event, which takes place from 7th to 10th October 2015, provides an international forum for the exchange of knowledge and experience between its members to promote the study of topics relevant to the development and use of audio visual archives and libraries.

Tedial Evolution, winner of TVB Europe's IBC 2015 Best of Show Award and IABM's Game Changer Award at NAB 2015, 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. Tedial Evolution significantly extends MAM functionality providing new services to surf/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 Operations Officer. They realize 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, maximizing the capabilities of their modern facilities. FIAT/IFTA is a very important platform for Tedial and we look forward to explaining how Tedial Evolution can assist broadcasters and global media companies with their archive and preservation requirements.

Discover the new features of Tedial Evolution at FIAT/IFTA 2015

NEW GUI

Tedial Evolution offers a completely new user experience designed to speed both manual and automated workflows. Built on Tedial's solid, tried and trusted MAM platform, the new HTML5 user interface keeps frequently used tools on the screen for improved performance. True multiscreen (smartphone, tablet, etc.) and multi-platform (IOS, Android, Windows, etc.) operations allow users to manage tasks, validate media or monitor workflows status from mobile devices. The interface is fully customizable 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 organize/search collections and other object related entities, enable the indexing of 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 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 categorized as members of multiple entities, according to the user's 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 tight 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.

UHD support

Tedial provides efficient content management for UHD, managing multi-file formats (DPX), external audio tracks and HD proxy in a simple and intuitive way. UHD optimized workflows minimize media transfer in the network. Long-term archive management provides ultra-efficient storage management for all UHD footage, including master media that might not be required for delivery but must be saved for posterity.

Tedial Evolution Embraces IMF standard

Always adopting SMPTE and IT standards as the best way to address the need to future proof the development of world-class 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.
