MediaFlow (MAM)
A central hub for your media lifecycle: from ingest and QC to archive, restore, proxy playback, and delivery to playout and QC systems.
What MediaFlow solves
- Scattered storage and hard-to-find assets
- Manual file movements between systems
- No visibility of where content is in the chain
- Slow turn-around for playout and distribution
How the MAM connects to your ecosystem
MediaFlow sits in the middle of your media operation, orchestrating movement between archive, transcoders, QC, traffic, playout and web players.
Northbound
Traffic system, QC system and playout receive the right version, at the right time, with correct metadata.
Southbound
Watch folders, datamovers and transcoders handle heavy lifting of file movement and processing.
Archive & Restore
Deep archive integrates directly with the MAM so operators request restores without touching storage tools.
Key features of MediaFlow
Ingest media & metadata
Ingest from watch folders or manual upload and capture all technical and editorial metadata on the way in.
Archive & restore from library
Move titles to long-term storage while keeping metadata online, and restore on demand for re-use or compliance.
Create proxy files
Automatically generate lightweight proxy files from high-resolution masters for fast review and collaboration.
Proxy player
Web-based player to review assets, scrub frame-accurately, and approve or reject content from any workstation.
Create subclips
Mark in/out points on the proxy and generate subclips for promos, highlights, or social media versions.
Create thumbnails
Capture thumbnails directly from the proxy player to feed OTT catalogs, CMS, and distribution platforms.
Output in any format
Send jobs to your transcoder farm and automatically create the flavours required by playout, OTT, or partners.
Deliver to QC
Route new or modified assets to your QC system, attaching relevant metadata and tracking pass/fail results.
Deliver to playout
Deliver validated files directly to playout storage or automation systems with clear status and audit trails.
Typical end-to-end flows
Acquisition to playout
Ingest → Proxy & metadata → QC → Transcode to playout format → Deliver to playout → Archive master.
Archive reuse
Search library → Request restore → Generate proxy if needed → Create subclips → Deliver new versions.
Multi-platform distribution
Single master → Different output profiles → Deliver to OTT, web, and partners with correct specs and artwork.
