Congratulations to Narenda Modi, now elected Prime Minister of
India, the world's largest democracy! His landslide election is widely credited as the media savvy model
for future Indian election campaigns.
Empress worked with its system integrator partner to build a
digitization and archive repository system for video content for Mr. Modi's
Gujarat government.
The eMAM Vault system manages the SAN storage, capture/ingest
stations, and the robotic LTO library system in the highly secured system run
by Gujarat Infomatics Limited, The built-in eMAM extension panel in
Adobe Premiere Pro CC allows users to capture the content from DVCAM, U-matic
and Betacam tapes using a connected Matrox
card for ingest directly to eMAM with metadata tagging.
A clip will be moved to the central storage and LTO library. In addition
to the digitization of around 4,000 hours of video, currently produced
materials also end up in eMAM for post-production and archive. eMAM
interfaces allow easy search, review & approval, annotation, rough cut, metadata
tagging and partial restore of these videos.
eMAM Feeder can support file based ingest, but critical to the
system was ingest support for Firewire interface drives which was simple with the
combined system:
1. Tape decks and camera are connected to
the ingest machine through the Firewire interface using Matrox cards.
2. The user opens
Premiere and presses the F5 key to load the capture window. The built-in
Adobe Media Encoder supports a wide variety of formats and codecs.
3. The videos open as
clips into a Premiere Pro project in Premiere Pro.
4. The Premiere Pro project is
exported to an eMAM project using the built in Premiere extension panel for
metadata tagging, collaboration, distribution, storage, and archive management through eMAM.
