Front Porch NATEXPO 2012 Featured Products Announced

Front Porch Digital has announced the featured products which will be appearing at NATEXPO 2012. The list is as follows:
DIVAdirector® V5.1 — Easy and Efficient Media Asset Management
System
DIVAdirector® V5.1 is Front Porch Digital's newest update to its DIVAdirector® media asset management (MAM) system. It is a permission-based Web application that enables complete access to file-based content stored by DIVArchive® content storage management (CSM) systems. DIVAdirector V5.1 contains new features that make it even easier for any media organization with DIVArchive to manage its digital files, especially if that organisation is using Front Porch Digital's new LYNXSM platform for moving, archiving, and publishing video to the cloud. 

With cloud operations starting to dominate the industry, DIVAdirector 5.1 addresses LYNX-specific workflows and requirements such as site awareness, with a single DIVAdirector system showing the enterprise content view of assets stored in different archive systems — local, networked, or cloud-based systems, or any combination thereof — with integrated user permissions controlling access.
LYNXSM — New for NATEXPO: LYNXdr and LYNXlocal

LYNXSM from Front Porch Digital is the industry's first enterprise-scale cloud implementation of content storage management (CSM). LYNX delivers adaptable on-demand scalability, reduces capital and operational costs, and revolutionizes the way media organizations manage assets. LYNX leverages the latest cloud and Web technologies to provide a range of networked and distributed solutions. 

At NATEXPO, the company will introduce LYNXdr and LYNXlocal for the first time in Russia. LYNXdr is a hosted disaster recovery service that allows global media enterprises to centralize critical assets and consolidate operations, and LYNXlocal is a simple extension to LYNX that operates locally as an appliance, caching cloud content and providing integration to specialized systems if needed. LYNXlocal is billed as a service element at a low monthly rate.
DIVArchive® V7.0 — Now for a Broader Array of Applications

At NATEXPO, Front Porch Digital will showcase its DIVArchive® V7.0 content storage management (CSM) system. New features and capabilities make the system ideal for a broader array of applications. With its support for complex DPX packages, DIVArchive V7.0 enables video-like operations on film-carried content, making it desirable for film production and postproduction applications. 

DIVArchive V7.0 is the first system of its kind to implement the new open Archive eXchange Format (AXF) technology developed by Front Porch Digital to protect, preserve, and facilitate the exchange of content among storage systems, today and for the future. This new open AXF implementation represents a step toward replacing outmoded legacy formats such as TAR with a truly open and storage-agnostic approach, ensuring long-term accessibility to the world's most valuable content. 

The enhancements to DIVArchive extend its applicability to media operations of every kind — broadcasters, educational and heritage institutions, the film industry, and government entities. With its unique ability to interconnect every element of operations from archive to production to transmission, DIVArchive V7.0 becomes the highly effective foundation on which to base cost-effective, seamless file-based workflows.
SAMMAsolo HD Video Migration Solution

Based on the patented, Emmy® Award-winning SAMMA® technology, the SAMMAsolo HD migration solution is the first of its kind to perform real-time, quality-controlled migration of content from HD videotape into a secure managed digital environment that supports preservation while facilitating access. With a fully internationalized user interface, SAMMAsolo can be customized for local languages, including Russian. 

The SAMMAsolo HD migration solution meets a pressing need by enabling broadcasters, heritage institutions, and other enterprises to preserve and make use of their legacy assets. SAMMAsolo migration solutions combine hardware and software to move archive-quality content from videotape to multiple file formats in a single pass. Because SAMMAsolo automates repetitive steps and uses advanced signal analysis to evaluate the quality of the videotape and to monitor and document the migration itself, the work can be accomplished with minimal staff training and time. The process preserves source timecode and also associates indexing and technical metadata.
