MOG Technologies, a supplier of centralised ingest solutions and MXF
development tools, has partnered with Archiware, a manufacturer of data
management software for backup, synchronization and archiving, in order to
offer the broadcast industry complete production workflow solutions.
MOG Technologies’ mxfSPEEDRAIL product-line covers every step of the
production workflow, from capture to playback, passing through transcoding and
file conversion, enabling the user to unify its production workflow.
Archiware’s P5 allows users to synchronize, backup and archive data on Mac,
Windows, Linux and Solaris operating systems, with four modules:
• P5 Synchronize to clone data between different locations or from Xsan or
SAN
• P5 Backup to save data from servers to disk or tape-based backup
• P5 Backup2Go to back up desktop and laptop data to disk
• P5 Archive to migrate data offline to disk or tape
By combining these two products, customers are able to achieve maximum
efficiency on their production workflows. Using mxfSPEEDRAIL, they are able to
ingest media contents, either band-based or file-based; automatically tag the
files with a powerful metadata annotation engine; transcode and encode the
media contents in all professional broadcast formats; and create Hi-Res and
Proxy versions of the media, having the media files immediately available for on-
the-fly editing.
mxfSPEEDRAIL will ingest the media content into the editing environment while
sending the contents together with metadata and proxies into P5 Archive.
Subsequently, Archiware will provide the best method to manage this
information through its intuitive interface, as well as create space on high
performance storage. The system will keep all the important archive data easily
accessible and well organised, reducing the risk of data loss and avoiding having
to constantly increase storage.
In addition, P5 will display the proxies and metadata files generated by
mxfSPEEDRAIL, allowing the user to manage its contents by browsing and
searching anything at any time, and will enable easy repurposing of archived
content.
