New axle Video software supports million files

--

Software developer axle Video (IBC Hall 7, D.07) announced an important new version of its award-winning media management platform, with the ability to handle 1 million assets. With the ever-increasing amount of footage captured in video applications, especially by mid-sized media departments and organizations, this represents a near-doubling in capacity from the previous release, and the company expects further enhancements to scale over the next year. axle 2016.2 is available immediately, and works with standard network storage systems to provide unprecedented ability to easily organize, tag and share larger quantities of media files.

In addition to the million-asset capability, axle 2016.2 introduces several key new features:

Gigabyte-scale large file uploading for users not directly connected to the system

axle Panel inside Adobe Premiere Pro CC with integrated player and support for Elastic Search and bins

Optional Active Directory support module to synchronize with usernames and passwords at corporate and university sites

Expanded REST API capabilities allowing third party applications to integrate easily with axle solutions

Support for Atomos Shogun formatted XML metadata and media ingest, with metadata captured in axle 2016.2 custom metadata fields

Larry Jordan, an axle Video customer and industry expert (https://larryjordan.com), said: I work with media professionals all over the world. All of us are challenged to find exactly the clips we need and still stay on deadline. The 2016.2 version of axle Video allows us to track hundreds of thousands of assets without requiring extensive hardware or IT support. The customized metadata and search allows us to customize the data we track. And the web browser interface makes all this information easily accessible to everyone in a workgroup. Plus, the faster speed in the new version benefits everyone.

Were delighted with the performance of our new 2016.2 release, which allows customers to catalog very large SAN and NAS filesystems without changing their workflows, said Sam Bogoch, CEO of axle Video, and the increased speed and scale, large file uploading, and optional Active Directory support extend the reach of axles radically simple approach to media management to larger organizations and media teams. Because axle 2016.2 makes proxies of even large numbers of clips and still images, it can make sense for workgroups with tens or hundreds of terabytes of shared storage and a lot of media coming and going.

Until now, managing and sharing large amounts of media files has been an elaborate undertaking, with specialized storage systems and customized MAM software. Compared to traditional MAM systems, where costs of a deployment often stretch into six figures, axles solution offers much lower costs, shorter deployment time (hours or days instead of weeks or months) and is far easier to use. Based on this new scenario, hundreds of customers in the corporate, educational, sports, and house of worship markets, as well as broadcast and postproduction facilities, have enthusiastically adopted axles solutions.
