Exporting Media
Full-bandwidth media can be saved to a desktop or it can be easily distributed (Figure 4).
ProxSys features a number of export modules (each sold separately) that simplify the distri-
bution process. For example, you can upload video from ProxSys to a web server or an FTP
server. When you make video available for download, you can incorporate an order form
to collect information before download can begin, ensuring that you capture information
about those who use your footage. If you’d like to distribute video on DVD, ProxSys features
a module that not only makes it easy to burn DVDs, but also creates menus and labels. And
if you or your clients use Sony DV Station, you can download video from or upload it to the
Sony system—complete with metadata.
Protecting Your Assets
To keep your media assets secure, ProxSys 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.
Expanding Your System
The ProxSys Media Server is the heart of the ProxSys Media Asset Management system and
enables you to manage media-based data with efficiency and ease. Depending on your
needs, you can expand your media asset management system to include ingest, transcode,
and playout (each sold separately). All components are controlled by and managed through
the ProxSys Media Server, ensuring that your media assets are centralized, secure, and eas-
ily accessible.
