Efficient content logging, editing and distribution for live event capture.
New York, NY, April 9, 2018 – Cinedeck and Empress Digital, developers of the widely used eMAM media asset management platform, announced today the availability of CDE for live event capture. CDE combines Cinedeck, Dixon Sports and eMAM into a complete environment for capturing live and scheduled events.
The Cinedeck recording systems handle simultaneous multi-channel high resolution and proxy capture in virtually any codec required for every production workflow. Dixon Sports metadata logger adds rich metadata tagging of live and captured video assets while eMAM is the glue that puts it all together for small workgroups to large enterprise and cloud installations. Chuck Buelow, V.P. Business Development for Empress Media Asset Management, describes the system this way, ”eMAM is designed from the top down to not just manage high resolution and proxy content, it is all about collaboration and integration to provide a cohesive environment. With CDE, events can be captured via Cinedeck, logged within Dixon Sports and managed through to delivery with eMAM to audiences on a variety of platforms in record time, without the high-cost and restrictions typically associated with these kinds of systems.”
Utilizing completely customizable workflows, users of CDE:
1. Schedule Live Baseband or IP Capture. Scheduled Events include date/time/segment length and more.
2. Cinedeck recorders generate high quality and H.264 proxy files which are further managed by eMAM.
3. Once a recording segment is completed, eMAM makes the asset available for trimming and delivery.
4. Dixon Sports is used to log the content live or after capture with their powerful custom tagging, which can be enriched with external data feeds. The logger’s built in intelligence about the media allows rich logs to be created quickly and easily.
Dixon offers full custom logging and video highlight selection with advanced search capabilities to find key points in the media based on the logged metadata. The Dixon software works seamlessly with Cinedeck and eMAM to provide the customer with the required functionality. Michael Dixon, President of Dixon Sports Computing, states “Cinedeck and Empress with their focus on meeting the specific workflow requirements of each customer are great partners for Dixon. The three companies enable a workflow that maximizes the value of each customer’s content library.”
“The CDE system is further simplified by leveraging Cinedecks Segment Record or Insert Edit, which provides standard closed flat files”, tells Charles D’Autremont, Cinedeck CTO. “This eliminates the restrictions of many live capture and edit environments by allowing the broader use of all standard post-production systems and files can be accessed by multiple users simultaneously.” Users are not restricted to specific tools for editing or viewing, all standard applications such as Adobe Premiere, Avid Media Composer, Final cut Pro can directly access the media content.
CDE is available now. To further discuss how CDE can enhance live capture workflows, visit Empress Media Asset Management at NAB 2018 in the south hall, booth: SL9024.
Cinedeck and Dixon Sports Computing can also be found in the South Lower Hall. Cinedeck is located at booth SL10827 while Dixon Sports Computing is located at booth SL14906.
