Autonomy Virage MediaBin is an advanced and comprehensive meaning-based rich media management solution to index, analyze, categorize, manage, retrieve, process, and distribute all types of rich media assets both internally and externally for global organizations.

Autonomy Virage MediaBin centralizes the management of logos, copy, video, images, presentations, and other rich media and digital assets and makes them accessible to geographically dispersed and local teams. Virage MediaBin is the only commercial digital asset management system designed to work with “original” master assets: It dynamically generates variations or derivatives and delivers them on request. Virage MediaBin uses a patented high-volume media processing engine to quickly render quality-controlled on-demand transformations.

Virage MediaBin helps organizations deliver a more engaging and consistent customer experience by effectively managing, distributing, and publishing thousands of customer-facing digital assets used to promote their messaging, products, services and brands. Companies benefit from higher-impact marketing and communications, legal compliance, greater agility, stronger brand equity, increased operational productivity, and the security of knowing valuable rich media assets will be fully leveraged, secured and preserved for the future.

Through extended reuse, strict compliance, and self-service access to global users, Virage MediaBin delivers a rapid return on investment. Marketing personnel no longer have to spend excessive time fulfilling requests, recreating lost content or incurring agency fees for acquiring pre-existing digital assets.

Features & Benefits

Features:

• Self-service access to all media: Stores, catalogs, and relates all rich media files. Assets are viewed in context with other content under management, both within the extended enterprise, across social networks, and across the web
• Concept-based search: By leveraging IDOL to understand the meaning contained within an asset, relationships are discovered and assets can be dynamically associated to each other. Concept clouds are automatically generated and related content can be found.
• Innovative video and audio analytics: Language-independent Speech-to-Text extraction, Facial Recognition, Speaker Identification, Scene Detection, On-Screen Character Recognition, Logo Detection, Closed Captioning, and more provide a comprehensive, consistent, and highly detailed set of metadata
• Seamlessly integrated workflow: Includes extensive yet simple to use “drag-and-drop” capabilities for managing the workflow associated with the ingestion, retrieval, emailing, routing, reviewing, approving, and deployment of all assets
• Transform and transcode on the fly: Powerful, multi-threaded transformation task engine can handle large quantities of simultaneous complex transformations involving format conversions, color-space conversions, color adjustments, resolution, cropping, sizing, padding, watermarking, and a wide variety of advanced graphics adjustments that would normally require a user to open an editing application on their desktop
