Media Asset Management

Designed for fast performance, the PX Media Server uses rich metadata to make it easy to find and retrieve media assets quickly. Low-resolution MPEG-4 proxy video clips of your HD, HDV, DV, and MPEG footage allow for quick preview, protect high-resolution media assets, and save network bandwidth.

The browser-based interface provides immediate access to audio, video, images, and text-based data from any location. Additional features include online and offline usage, picture-to-clip extract, multi-client support, access rights management, and NLE format compatibility via the FS DV Conversion Suite.

Supported Media Formats

The PX Media Server supports both high- and standard-definition video and generates MPEG-4 proxy files that make it fast and easy to preview footage. In addition to your media assets, the PX Media Server can also store other information that pertains to your media-based projects, such as proposals, storyboards, supporting documentation, and more.

Protecting Your Assets

To keep your media assets secure, the PX Media Server enables you to assign access rights to projects by workgroup or individual user, ensuring that you maintain complete control over who can access your footage and files.

Importing, Tagging, and Organizing Media

PX Media Transfer Utility
The PX Media Server comes with the PX Media Transfer Utility, featuring drag-and-drop functionality that makes it quick and easy to import and export individual media files or entire folders containing media files—complete with video clips, audio clips, thumbnails, timecode, and metadata—and maintain the hierarchy that you've already established.

Camera and Custom-Defined Metadata
The PX Media Server displays the metadata that your camera provides and allows you to add numerous custom fields. With its rich metadata capabilities, the PX Media Server enables you to categorize, track, search, and find clips—with amazing speed.

Projects
The PX Media Server uses projects to organize and store media and related files. When you import media, you can either create a new project or assign it to an existing project. Projects can also have subfolders, allowing you to organize files within a project. Media can be assigned to projects based on metadata. As a result, the same video clips can be shared by multiple projects for efficient storage.

Searching and Previewing Clips
With the PX Media Server and its rich metadata capabilities, you'll no longer have to thumb through tapes and DVDs on your shelves, go through folders on your hard disks, or fast-forward through hours of footage trying to find the exact clip that you need—simply enter your search criteria and the PX Media Server will display the clips that meet your requirements. It's that simple. Search results are displayed in containers, and with a PX Export module or the PX Playout Station (each sold separately), you can easily distribute your media.

Preview
The PX Media Server protects your footage and conserves network bandwidth by generating low-resolution MPEG-4 proxy video clips for preview. In addition to previewing clips, you can also download the entire clip or set start and end points and download a specific portion of the clip for editing or distribution.

Storage

The PX Media Server supports a wide range of storage options, including disk, optical, and tape-based systems. By taking a number of factors into consideration, Focus Enhancements can help you determine how much storage capacity you need and which storage option or combination of options will best serve your organization.

PX Export Modules

Optional PX export modules make media export extremely efficient. Full-bandwidth media can be saved to a desktop or easily distributed. The PX Media Server features a number of export modules (each sold separately) that simplify the distribution process.
