Sun joins forces with leading software vendors to deliver cutting edge digital media management solutions at NAB '97
Nesbit and Virage to deliver digital media library, indexing and retrieval solutions on Sun Solaris platform LAS VEGAS -- April 7, 1997 -- Helping to ease the media industry's migration to a networked, digital environment, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
today announced it has expanded its portfolio of fully integrated digital media management solutions through agreements with Nesbit Systems and Virage, Inc. Under the agreements, Nesbit and Virage will make available on the Sun(TM) Solaris(TM) platform digital media library, indexing and retrieval solutions and will incorporate Java(TM) components and streamed video into their solutions, providing media companies with efficient, network-based means of managing and controlling their media assets.
"As branded artistic content transitions from analog to digital media, broadcast, entertainment and publishing companies are looking for solutions that help them manage and distribute their media assets," said Bill Correll, Sun Microsystems Computer Company's worldwide market development manager for media and entertainment. "By working closely with leading application companies like Virage and Nesbit Systems, Sun can help media companies archive, retrieve and repurpose existing content to take advantage of new digital delivery options like the Internet or private intranets." Nesbit Digital Media Library System Nesbit Systems, a well-known media archiving and tracking application vendor, will make its new Digital Media Library System (DMLS) available on the Sun Solaris platform with an interface to the Sun(TM) MediaCenter(TM) video server later this quarter. DMLS will allow for the encoding of analog video to digital format and will support the storage, manipulation and retrieval of digital video using Nesbit's industry-proven Media Library System -- a media archival and tracking system for analog video. DMLS also will incorporate a Java front end, allowing users to manage historical, financial, legal, tracking and other information associated with digital media assets via any Java-enabled browser.
"Nesbit's Media Library System has been popular for managing the video assets for archives of all sizes and purposes," said Irene Nesbit, president, Nesbit Systems, Inc. "Now, with DMLS, these benefits will be extended into the digital world, using the Sun MediaCenter video server." Virage Video Cataloger and Browser Virage is designing its Video Cataloger and Browser to be fully compatible with the Solaris operating environment. When coupled with Sun's media server platform, it will provide an integrated system for the logging, archiving, management and retrieval of video clips.
Virage's technology will eliminate the single biggest problem of traditional video storage -- the need for manual annotation and indexing -- while enabling a more efficient way to search and browse the archive. The Virage solution will allow for the automatic logging of video metadata, data associated with or describing a piece of content, such as key frames, Closed Caption text, audio and SMPTE timecodes. The metadata also can be coupled with optional manual annotations (author, title, etc.) before being stored in a commercial database like Informix-Universal Server.
The Video Cataloger and Browser also will enable video to be redeployed from the database through any Java-enabled Web browser. Used with the Sun MediaCenter video server, it will enable media companies to digitize critical video information and stream it to multiple users across a distributed network environment.
"Our relationship with Sun gives customers a robust platform on which media, and the associated metadata, can be stored, enabling rapid media distribution across public and private internets," said Peter Fenton, video business unit manager, Virage. "By directly reducing the pain and expense associated with capturing and logging critical video information, Virage's video technology allows organizations to capitalize on the value of digital media management today." Sun Microsystems offers a broad range of network computing solutions that enable companies in the media, publishing, entertainment and broadcast industries, to create, manage and distribute digital media and content enterprise-wide. Leveraging its Java development environment and scalable Solaris operating system (the industry-leading UNIX environment), Sun and its broad range of technology allies help media companies take advantage of the fast-growing opportunities in digital media management, electronic distribution, and Internet and intranet technologies.
