Digital Archiving Solutions for the Entertainment Industry August 2010

THE CHALLENGE More than any other organizations, entertainment companies are the stewards of a vast amount of high-quality historical content, but much of it remains underutilized: Not in an easily accessible digital format. Not searchable across the entire library. Not sharable “on demand” for internal or external purposes (e. g. instantly available for scouts. ) Current sharing methods are expensive (DVD production) and one-way – lack of feedback, usage metrics and analytics, and often not outside the walls of the archive as broadly as possible. Internal platform development would be expensive: web-based digital media solutions often not core to the expertise of internal staff. “Insourced” solutions often require years of development, and would divert staff from gamerelated activities.

THE SOLUTION A digital video-on-demand platform, integrating streaming video with fully indexed video segmentation, rich technical and contextual metadata (written by humans and imported from data services), synchronized transcripts for infinitely granular search, as well as tools for internal and external collaboration: Incorporate video, audio, images, documents across all functions within your organization. Fully indexed, descriptive contextual metadata to discover “hidden” assets. Assets can be “attached” to other assets as source material. Fully transcribed content is synchronized to the video on a timecode accurate basis. Role-based permissions and views. Create virtual segments to be “saved” to folders, and share internally and externally. August 13 2010 3
