Software Generation Ltd (SGL), a well-known provider of content archive and storage management software for media and entertainment, will show the web-based interface for its flagship SGL FlashNet archive system for the first time in the Middle East at CABSAT 2013. Users of FlashNet now have a number of additional features that further simplify workflow procedures and enhance usability of the system.
Using SGL FlashNet, broadcasters and content owners can now very easily archive and restore material for smaller projects that fall outside the sphere of the controlling MAM or automation systems. Using the new FlashNet GUIs powerful yet easy to use tools, the user can archive directly to any configured FlashNet disk or tape group. Once in the archive metadata can be extracted or added manually, and searching for and restore of clips is quick and easy. The interface can be used on any platform Windows, PC, Mac or Linux.
SGL will also demonstrate FlashBrowse 3 a client-based web tool that further enhances and simplifies the archive workflow. FlashBrowse 3 provides at-archive browse creation, automatically generating browse resolution copies of clips as the high resolution versions are archived. The Flashbrowse 3 interface, which is an extension of the new FlashNet GUI, allows operators to instigate restores or partial file restores directly from their browser window.
