FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 14, 2018
eMAM
will demo integrations with IBM Cloud Object Storage, IBM Streaming Manager, and
Watson Video Enrichment.
New York –September 14, 2018: Empress Media Asset Management (Empress),
developer of the widely used eMAM™ media asset management platform, announces
the integration of eMAM with IBM technologies to store, enrich, and distribute
content. The combined system will
premier at the IBC Show at the RAI Amsterdam, Stand 7.B25.
eMAM workflow tools will allow users to incorporate IBM
offerings seamlessly into the ecosystem of eMAM partners to develop complete
streamline and automated workflows.
These include leading technologies for the acquisition, transcoding,
editing, publishing, and archiving of rich media. Originally developed for broadcast media
companies, the integrated solution will meet the growing needs of all modern
organizations to address their challenges as their volume of media
explodes.
IBM Cloud Object Storage presents a single storage system for
worldwide demand for media. Object
storage stores the media as “objects” along with the metadata, which will
ensure that the media will remain viable and accessible as the technology that uses them changes over
time. Users can browse, search, and
share lower resolution proxy copies of all media from the eMAM web or tablet
interfaces from any location, and then deliver or download the original resolution
media from the appropriate Cloud Object Storage location as needed. The architecture of the system ensures high
availability and virtually unlimited scalability to meet both the present and
future needs of customers are met.
Powerful search tools are the centerpiece of any media asset
management system. Users must be able to
quickly find and use the content but far too often, overburdened staff did not
have the time to provide enough metadata tagging. IBM Watson has been long been a leading technology
in artificial intelligence. Watson Video
Enrichment uses the full machine learning power of Watson to enrich the
metadata for the vast array of undertagged media. It finds faces, patterns, and numerous other
features, which eMAM displays in its “insight” widget. Watson also can convert speech-to-text,
which eMAM displays in its “transcript” widget. All of these metadata allow eMAM users to
quickly find the best media for a task, including which parts of a video match search
criteria. Users can correct the
displayed AI metadata to both correct the eMAM database and to train Watson for
future searches.
eMAM also integrates with IBM Streaming Manager. This system utilizes multiple content
delivery networks (CDNs) and software-defined processes to offer a powerful
worldwide infrastructure to allow high quality media consumption for a
worldwide audience. With the integrated
solution, media in eMAM managed storage can be selectively or entirely
published for high quality worldwide consumption through IBM Streaming Manager.
“We are very excited about collaborating with IBM to provide
proven, powerful technologies to meet the current and future demands of both
mid-size and large enterprise customers,” commented Dave Miller, Empress
COO.
eMAM is available from Empress and its worldwide
system integrator resellers.
