Stand 8.B41

 Tedial, a provider of media asset management (MAM), hierarchical storage management (HSM) and business process management (BPM) software is featuring key enhancements to its suite of content management software solutions. Tedial provides a platform based on IT architecture that allows broadcasters to take full advantage of file-based workflows by optimising and automating operational processes. Tedial’s solutions are vendor- and hardware-independent, thereby releasing customers from proprietary constraints and significantly increasing productivity and ROI.

Ficus

Tedial is announcing updates to its Ficus BPM. Its latest enhancements include increased integration to third-party systems including traffic and automation. This high level integration allows new workflows to be triggered using simple XML messaging allowing broadcasters to continue to take advantage of legacy systems when required. Ficus’ powerful grid computing supports the management of over 3,500 workflows a day.

Media Process Manager

The MPM is the most important component of a tapeless system working as a middle layer integrating third-party systems and technologies. This latest version supports ingest of high-resolution formats such as DNxHD and XDCam directly into an Avid environment. Further highlighting its tight integration with Avid, Tedial will show how metadata can be ingested and edited directly into Avid Interplay using its Tedial Capture client. MPM automatically detects the aspect ratio of a video file that it’s processing and is able to handle video files with multiple audio tracks. It can move media and metadata to and from Interplay either automatically or manually performing any required rewrapping on-the-fly.

Tarsys

The latest version of Tedial’s MAM system with integrated HSM software includes a Web-based administration GUI for managing database data models. Administrators can access tools via any PC to manage data repositories, create folders for cataloguing and specialised metadata fields, thesaurus and multi-language dictionaries. It also allows administrators to manage multiple users’ access rights profiles. The Web-based administration GUI provides tools for system auditing enabling the administrator to check logs and review activities. Administrators can filter information by user, date and specific services.
