A hybrid solution integrated with the video editing environment
CloudLink is the hybrid solution for managing digital content developed by Media Portal.
With this system we can combine the best of cloud computing, such as elasticity, economy and security with high-performance local storage hardware capable of serving up to 32 editing islands simultaneously.
- It’s a dedicated storage for video editing, which works seamlessly with the cloud infrastructure.
- Storage is integrated with a NOC – Network Operation Center – allowing real-time monitoring to prevent problems.
- The connection to the cloud will integrate it with advanced features through the MAM system, such as features for digital archiving and video analysis.
All of the features and operational gains described in CloudFly are maintained, and integration with the on-premise storage in your local infrastructure boosts further operational gains.
Workflow orchestrator and integration with the cloud
- MAM services are in the cloud and are integrated with the in-house storage used for editing videos through the workflow orchestrator. The workflow orchestrator works with the Media Processing Workflow module.
- There are pre-existing folders that are associated with different workflows of and for processing files.
- A low resolution proxy is created for all of the videos ingested by the edited material folder.
- Folder for ingesting raw material – this workflow is quite simple, it creates a low resolution, and does not analyze the content, nor does it transcribe speech to text. The volume processed by this workflow is not included in the ingest quota.
- Folder for ingesting edited material – this workflow enables performing the definitive archiving of videos, creates the low-res proxy and carries out content analysis and speech to text transcription. The volume processed by this workflow is included in the ingest quota. It is through this workflow that files are replicated in the cloud infrastructure.
- Resources for decoupage and cataloguing are made available for videos ingested by the edited material folder as well as those ingested by the raw material folder.
- Only the edited material is processed by Media Info and is speech-to-text transcribed by the Voice Analyzer engine.
- The edited video collection can be published on Vimeo, YouTube, Facebook and Sambatech by using the publishing workflows made available for this purpose.
- CloudLink provides a controlled dictionary to support the cataloging and indexing process. The dictionary is made up of identities and a thesaurus.
- Resources are also made available for organizing video collections: for example, videos from a championship, an event, a series, etc.
The storage for video editing
SECURITY
- Redundancies and exclusive storage monitoring tools.
- Access to sharing and workspaces through credentials and creating a layer of protection for access to the data and media.
- The data remain intact if there is a physical or programming failure on a disc. Replacing a faulty disc is simple
ALARMS
- The storage sends alerts whenever something outside the pre-established operating standards occurs.
- The server is monitored 24 hours a day from an NOC (Network Operation Center).
INTUITIVE
- Simple and intuitive interface for managing workspaces and users. Enables creating and managing sharing between users without the need for help from the support team.
SUPPORT
- Remote monitoring 24/7 using technology that guarantees information is available and intact.
- 6-hour SLA.
COMPATIBILITY
- Compatible with the main editing and animation software.
- Compatible with Avid Media Composer with media and Project sharing. Users work simultaneously on projects with Avid Media Composer’s native “Bin Locking” control.
- Compatible with Blackmagic software, such as DaVinci Resolve and Fusion.
- Compatible with Adobe applications: Adobe Premiere, After Effects and Speedgrade.
- Compatible with Autodesk applications: 3DS Max, Maya and Flame.
- Compatible with Windows, Linux and MacOS operating systems with control of access privileges for each user.
- Integrates the AFP, SMB, FTP and NFS protocols.
- Connection to the storage is done through a 1 or 10 Gb ethernet network.
