Digital Media Asset ManagementProduct Engineering Services
Most digital video recorders record video to a hard drive-
based digital storage medium. Though these hard drives have
larger capacities today than ever before, the sheer volume of
content that is created by the production houses makes it
imperative to transfer content to high-capacity removable
storage media. This takes the assets offline and makes it easy
to lose track of them. Production houses have workflows
for content processing that take raw ingested content to its
final form for distribution or consumption. In this process,
several related asset components are generated, including
browse proxies, story boards, metadata, edit decision lists,
censorship reports, editorial review comments etc. Each of
these components can have multiple versions as well. Each
of these components is best stored, accessed and processed
from its respective storage server; for example, video servers
and archives for high resolution video, proxy servers
for low resolution browse and edit and databases for
metadata storage. This requires an approach to Digital
Media Asset Management (DMAM) quite unlike the
traditional approach of a single digital repository that houses
all the assets. Linking all asset components and tracking
their locations, version management, attaching labels for
configuration management, movement of assets between
different servers with necessary transformations (transcoding,
for example) and search based on asset metadata and
component properties fall under the gamut of the modern
DMAM system.
Managing Assets
As a player in the DMAM market, your product and service
development challenges are manifold:
Upgrade product and service features to meet the
requirements of this rapidly evolving market.
Provide the core services for asset location browsing, asset
linking and tracking, version management, configuration
management, transfer and transformation of assets, query
based on metadata and asset properties.
Provide a Graphical User Interface (GUI) with a unified view
of all assets under management, easy movement of assets
between storage devices and powerful search functionality.
Integrate with a wide range of devices and applications,
interoperate across multiple access protocols and interfaces
and seamlessly interface with multiple databases.
Integrate devices and applications at geographically disparate
locations. Query for, search, locate and move assets across
multiple locations, and create a seamless workflow that
involves participants from all locations.
Celstream can help address your challenges. Our engineers have
extensive experience in creating software systems for DMAM.

Track RecordAreas of Expertise
Celstream can help architect, design and develop specific
software components and applications that you need for your
DMAM solution. We have the expertise in developing on ® ® ®several platforms including Windows , Linux , Sun /Solaris,
®and Macintosh . Technology bouquets include both Microsoft
and Java. Core services where we have significant development
experience and can partner with your engineering teams
include:
Asset Linkage and Tracking Repository of location and
attributes of assets within the system. Also used for grouping
together assets that have multiple components, spread
across several devices or geographies.
Version and Configuration Management Managing
multiple versions of assets and labeling interesting asset
components and versions for quick retrieval.
Uniform Asset Browse A set of abstract service APIs that
can be implemented for any of the asset storage device to
provide a unified and uniform view of all assets under
management in an easy to use graphical user interface.
Seamless transfer with transformation A set of service
APIs that allow assets to be transferred between storage
devices, transforming the assets to the format of the
destination device, as required.
Metadata and Properties Query and Search Query and
search asset metadata as well as asset component properties
to quickly find the required asset or relevant components.
