Masstech To Feature At SMPTE Australia

Masstech will highlight its latest software advances and sharing expertise with attendees at the SMPTE15 Conference and Exhibition in Australia, July 14-17. Held biennially, SMPTE Australia is for the motion imaging and television engineering industries in the Australasian region.

In addition to offering demonstrations of the company's solutions and newest enhancements, Masstech has been chosen to deliver insights as part of the SMPTE15 conference program.

Masstech's Director and General Manager of Enterprise Solutions, Savva Mueller, will present the paper 'Maximizing the Potential of Legacy Content in New Media Asset Management Deployments' on July 16. The paper looks at optimal approaches to transitioning legacy archived content to new MAM and storage management systems, and explores how unstructured metadata can be leveraged to enhance the discoverability and usage of legacy assets by providing rich sources of searchable information without significant manual effort or expense.

Masstech's solutions will be featured in the stand of systems integration partner Techtel (Stand B-04). Visitors can learn how the company's media management and newsroom workflow offerings can help them store, share and transform their content to maximize its value while saving time and money. Demonstrations will include:

• Version 8.0 of Masstech for Enterprise
The media asset management, archiving and workflow solution for file-based media operations. With a new user interface, rich support for unstructured metadata, search engine enhancements and more, Masstech for Enterprise version 8.0 makes it faster and easier for media organisations of any size to archive, find, reuse, move and manage their content assets.

• Masstech for News
The software eliminates workflow barriers to let newsrooms focus on producing great stories with richer content in less time. Featuring the Video-Follows-Text advantage, Masstech for News enables journalists to effortlessly archive, access, use and share content across multiple locations, all directly from within their familiar newsroom system interface.

"SMPTE Australia has earned a strong international reputation for the high caliber of its educational conference program and exhibits," said Mueller.
