NETIA demos Manreo media asset management tools

NETIA, a leading provider of software solutions for managing and broadcasting television and radio content, and a major player in the digital broadcast arena demonstrates its Manreo software family at Booth 7C4-01 in Hall 7 of BroadcastAsia 09.

Manreo is designed to maximize productivity gains in media asset management and use of rich media, which can then be repurposed and published to multiple platforms including mobile devices. At the heart of Manreo is an archiving tool that interfaces with a wide range of production, automation/playout, and storage and ingest systems for efficient handling of video, audio, images, and text with support for all industry-standard formats including MXF, XDCam, MPEG-4, MPEG-2 and .wmv.

Manreo ingests content in high resolution and converts it automatically to a low-resolution proxy used to index the video and its content. Speech-to-text functionality further enriches the media by turning dialogue into searchable text. Manreo’s Warehouse Web module provides easy access to media, allowing operators to share and preview content through a convenient Web-based interface.

By restoring required high-resolution files to editing systems, such as Avid, or to playout systems, Manreo simplifies production and repurposing of stored media. Manreo also supports automated transcoding and publishing of media and metadata to the Internet, VOD, mobile services, and IPTV. An integrated monitoring tool updates the operator as to the status of the restoration, transcoding to the appropriate format, and publishing of media to the target platform.

NETIA will also highlight its Warehouse Web Version 2.0 audio and video broadcast and display platform that provide new services and revenue opportunities for Manreo users. This full-featured software solution provides companies with a system for centralizing, sharing, and viewing audio, image, and video archives, and broadcasting them across multiple distribution channels such as web portals, mobile devices, ADSL, etc.
