by Decisive Analytics Corporation (DAC) is an enterprise-class Media Asset Management (MAM) system.
With thousands of hours of in-the-field experience and refinement, Mainship™
features the most robust end-to-end workflow of any MAM system on the market
today. Mainship grew up on news monitoring. The Mainship family includes a variety of different 24/7 A/V recorders called Mainship Core™ and
Mainship Edge™. Mainship Core™ encoders allow web users to search and playback
content directly from the encoder utilizing a unique distributed capture and
storage configuration. Mainship Edge™ encoders live at the “edge” of your
collection workflow and play out through the Clipplay appliance. For critical
content that needs to be retained indefinitely, there is an option to transfer
to Mainship Genesis™. The Mainship™ family allows scalability to meet your
specific needs. Mainship Genesis™ The heart and soul of Mainship is the integrated web and database system known as Genesis™. Start with a simple solution and scale as your needs change. Genesis includes integrated users and group management along with dozens of other standard features such as proxy mapping and LDAP integration. Genesis grows with a simple licensing scheme based upon numbers of assets and users.
Mainship’s unique disconnect architecture allows
remote news capture and monitoring by its ability to run without being
constantly connected to the Mainship Genesis system. Because
Mainship is designed for enterprise applications, you can customize your system
for both the number of users and the quantity of assets. Or,
if you’re just getting started in news monitoring perhaps one of our smaller
configurations is better for you. Let DAC help you decide which system is best
for you. Mainship’s 4 year development cycle has allowed DAC to develop a robust selection of optional features and capabilities. These capabilities are integrated in a tight, cohesive workflow that let customers focus on things other than the complexities that can haunt a home-made system.
Genesis Options
Profile Notification – This optional service allows users to create custom profile searches. When new content is captured that matches the profile, the user is notified by email and is provided a link to view the content immediately.
Media Order – Integrated media workflow allows users to request a program in different formats such as MPEG1, Real, Flash, 3GPP, Quicktime and many other formats. The programs can be delivered to the desktop or anywhere of their choosing. Document attachments and search – Do you have a need to keep documents such as scripts, PDF files and related images in the same system as your media assets? With the document attachment option, Mainship™ will ingest your textual and image documents, index them and make them searchable. Once ingested the documents can be linked to programs so a user can search for words found within the document or image file and be linked to the related video program. Now users can have video files AND linked text and images together.
Advanced scheduling option – (ASO) – Mainship ASO allows users to create more detailed recording schedules. Rather than just 24/7, ASO allows users to record specific programs at specific times and lengths with more descriptive metadata. |
Live Streaming to the Desktop Want to see what is happening now? No problem. In
addition to the Mainship Edge and Core 24/7 recorders, Mainship also offers
single and multi-channel live stream encoders to provide real-time access to
live content. These encoders can be used stand alone or integrated within the
Mainship Genesis system. Robust player interface Mainship’s Rich Media Player interface allows users to dive in and move rapidly through a program by browsing through the scene change thumbnails or synchronized and highlighted CC or speech recognized text within the transcript.
Powerful Search Engine Based upon the latest Oracle Enterprise Database and
Lucene query parsing technology, Mainship’s Genesis search system allows
searching across multiple metadata values such as date, time and keywords but
also supports advanced “Google-like” techniques such as “sounds like” (great
when you can’t spell Bin Laden!) or “near” (find words within 15 or 20 words of
each other). You get the idea. Clipplay™
What good is an asset
management system if you can’t get the content back out of the system? Mainship
Clipplay™ is a powerful touchscreen appliance that allows users to fulfill media
orders directly to CD’s and DVD’s from the Mainship collection. Users can also
play video files as full-screen NTSC video for presentations and or recording to
VHS. Third party system integration Complete Integration
Ingest Content from File Already have a large supply of digital media files such as MPEG and WMV? Use Mainship’s Optional Hydra™ service to ingest files, including metadata, for searching later. The Hydra Ingestion service creates a low resolution proxy version of the video file and still maintains the high-resolution source file for editing, conversion to different formats, or burning to DVD/VHS.
Live Foreign Language Conversion Mainship’s new STS (Speech
To Screen) technology provides real-time monitoring of
Advanced Storage Management - (ASM) –
Most media asset management systems force you to calculate this important part of the system
manually. With Mainship’s ASM option, you can delete, manually or automatically
archive, and move files around based upon your storage architecture. ASM
integrates particularly well with 3rd party HSM/tape library solutions such as diskxtender
from EMC and Xendata. |
