A
universal platform for managing, repurposing and distributing digital
content, ContentAgent streamlines any file-based workflow, improving
productivity.
The system is easy to use with an elegant interface that echoes current working practices and provides seamless continuity of operation between acquisition, transcoding and distribution.
Effortless operation means that highly paid engineering staff need not get bogged down with day-to-day transcoding. ContentAgent’s Workflow Designer enables even the most complex processes to be created, stored and repeated at will by non-technical staff, increasing profitability and freeing up resources.
Much
more than just a transcoding device, ContentAgent is a complete,
resolution independent, multi-format file management system based
on off-the-shelf hardware. Digital media files for repurposing may
be imported from a variety of sources and the system is also able
to capture and digitize material from tape and transcode to multiple
formats in real time. Like all processes in ContentAgent, this can
be completely automated to save time and hassle.
As a universal transcoding workhorse ContentAgent is the natural heart of file-based workflow in environments ranging from high -resolution film to internet-based media and everything in between. A range of optional software modules ensure that the system may also be tailored to highly specific transcoding applications, for example in Avid editing environments and digital intermediate workflow.
In today’s world, simply repurposing files just isn’t enough. ContentAgent goes the extra mile in handling all aspects of file output and distribution in a secure, reliable and repeatable manner. Output repurposed files automatically via ftp, email and RSS. Further still, ContentAgent increases your earnings potential with an integrated DVD burner that enables operators with no prior authoring experience to create interactive DVDs with chapter navigation. The screen grab feature may be used for backgrounds and a range of graphics tools and templates ensure a thoroughly professional finish. A technology partnership with Rimage Corporation extends this feature still further with fully integrated high quality disc printing and mass duplication.
Where
file transcodes are billable, ContentAgent’s single-box solution
makes it easier to keep track of jobs and the sheer flexibility
and efficiency of the system means you’ll get the fastest possible
return on your investment.
How long do you spend searching for missing clips? ContentAgent’s SQL database enables you to locate clips instantly and – unlike other systems – ContentAgent can be used to exploit and expand clip metadata. This means, for example, that new metadata on transcode duration can be automatically added and exported to facilities’ billing systems.
Besides a fast return, ContentAgent’s totally scalable architecture ensures your investment is protected. Simply add more processing power as and when you need it. Clustering spreads the transcoding workload, automatically allocating jobs to individual processors across the clustered units. And as ContentAgent is software based, your system will never be redundant when a new format is introduced.
Safeguard
your assets. ContentAgent’s feature set includes protected workspaces
and pre-defined user privileges with secure log-in. Tools are provided
for logo burn-in on transcoded clips and, for additional security
the system may be configured with Microsoft Windows Digital Rights
Management.
