Vimond Media Solutions Announces New Automation Features for Its Online TV Platform 22 Aug 2013
Media Importer and Content Catalogue Enable Users to Conduct High-Volume Imports and Maintain Metadata in One Place
Vimond Media Solutions today announced that the Vimond Video Flow Engine, which serves as the core technology behind the Vimond Platforms online video services has two new automation features known as Media Importer and Content Catalogue. The new features make it easier for publishers to import large quantities of content from their existing systems and maintain their metadata in one source. Both features are managed through the Vimond Control Center (VCC), Vimonds video workflow management tool.
Vimond focuses heavily on automation because automation connects different systems, minimizes the need for working in multiple systems, and generally eases an editors everyday work, said Helge H ibraaten, CEO of Vimond Media Solutions. The Video Flow Engines new automation capabilities save time and cost, allowing editors to concentrate on the creative and interesting parts of deploying successful online TV.
The Media Importer automatically imports assets directly into VCC from broadcast or media asset management systems, or from online sources such as YouTube. From there it transcodes the video and can then distribute new content to channels automatically depending on the rules that are set. The system will check for updates regularly so that it automatically detects and imports new assets and/or changes to existing assets. The Media Importer feature also has its own GUI, making it simple for content editors to set up new media sources, and import jobs and media feeds in VCC. The GUI also has a status display to give content editors complete confidence that jobs are being completed. VCC monitors the feeds and delivers error messages for failed imports. Using the Vimond metadata extension RSS, it is also possible to import any custom metadata for assets. Other options include configuring the system to import all the content into one content category or provide category information per asset.
The new Content Catalogue feature gives users greater control over how to organize their assets. Rather than the usual way of simply organizing content by standard criteria such as episode number or date of publication, a new, easy-to-use interface in VCC enables users to highlight certain programming based on other chosen criteria. The new interface makes it even easier for publishers to create and maintain their content catalogs and organize their content in a hierarchy of channels and shows, so that certain content gets pushed to the top of the list.
The new features are part of the Vimond Platform, a feature-rich, powerful, modular online TV platform that enables high-performance, high-quality multiscreen offerings. Vimonds flexible approach to online video distribution lets customers choose the product packages that are most relevant to their businesses and customize them by end user. The Platform is also totally pluggable, so broadcasters and other content providers can choose the parts they need now and plug in others later.
Vimond will demonstrate the new automation features at IBC2013 on stand 14.B10. Further information on Vimond Media Solutions and its products is available at www.vimond.com or by phone at +47 97602236.
