Broadcasters today are dealing with
several fundamental challenges: how to get an ever-growing set of
content distributed through an increasing number of distribution
channels; how to produce and manage multiple formats, including SD and
HD; and how to remain flexible and nimble enough to address narrower
audiences yet get content to them more quickly, even on-demand.
This means that traditional approaches to content management are no
longer adequate. Tape-based systems simply are not reliable, responsive
or efficient. Access to existing and new content must be on-demand and
real-time. |
Ancept Media Server provides the
ability to create an on-line, on-demand, random access repository of
content that can be accessed from anywhere and can distribute content
to multiple distribution channels, including broadcast servers, Web
servers and CDNs. It is no longer necessary to manage physical tapes
and encode content when it's needed. everything is digital and ready to
go when needed.
Capture – digitize and ingest content from almost any source, including tape libraries, edit stations, fixed encoders, etc.
Index – use a
variety of data sources to index content, including CC text, encoder
information, other databases and "wrapper" meta-data, like MXF
Centralize – store all content in a centralized digital repository so it can be accessed by anyone anywhere with a Web browser
Access – search for, view and request content during any stage of the production process
Distribute – send content to an editing station, broadcast server, CDN or simply view on-demand |
Creating a digital library for all
content is a necessary step toward the promise of a truly digital
workflow. Implementing a repository that is open, standards-based and
capable of supporting multiple distribution channels is essential to
support new and evolving distribution models.
Maximize
revenue:

- Provide better quality and more timely content, enhancing quality of service and loyalty
- Create competitive advantage by remaining more nimble, flexible and responsive
Minimize costs:
- Drastically reduce the costs associated with finding and using content from the archive
- Streamline the entire production process by moving digital files rather than physical tapes
