Inspiration at your fingertips. This week’s study group or last year’s sermon.

One system to manage all of the content. Easy to use. Connected to any device. Powering your website, email campaigns, social media, and more.

Running from the temple or the cloud, it ties together different systems and processes.  Simplified.  Automated.  Efficient.

Technology powering the mission.   See what eMAM can do for you.

Digital Director

Spreading the message is now a high tech challenge involving sharing of video, graphics, and other content to individuals, websites, and social media quickly, easily, and inexpensively. 

Original content can be live recordings from a service or meeting or from user/community generated content. eMAM Feeder can allow any user to ingest content from any Windows, Mac, or Linux desktop. Users can also ingest to the eMAM interface or to a website.

eMAM integrates with many technology partners to provide a complete integrated solution. These include storage, archive, editing, and workflow systems. eMAM manages the native resolution content in one or multiple locations, in the archive, in the cloud for editing and broadcast. It also provides an online proxy library for easy collaboration and sharing with built in tools.

eMAM can share links for multimedia branded emails, review/approval, social media links, and shareable video links. Empress, its partners, or your team can build a rich interactive website with video playback on multiple devices and platforms (OTT, VOD), download/upload, subscribers, and ecommerce.

Education

Modern learning must be interactive, collaborative, and immersive in order to engage the audience.

Rich media captivates audiences, especially video. Learners must be able to easily find and use video content with all supporting materials. They should be able to share and interact across the room and across the planet: through the portal, through email, and through social media. A searchable online library with all current and historical materials engages students and empowers teachers.

eMAM provides rich tools and features to build a modern education program.

Video Production

eMAM provides extensive support for proxy based workflows while managing native/hires content in almost any on premise or cloud storage and archive system.

No need to push everything to a cloud or centralized storage when eMAM can manage local storage along with cloud storage, central storage, and archive-all from the same system.

No need to reshoot b-roll of the same scene again when eMAM serves up an online digital library of all historical content. eMAM powers marking, logging, tagging, organization, review/approval, sharing links, and digital delivery for authorized users all using light weight proxy copies from the web or tablet interfaces. Hires content can be securely and cheaply stored in a LTO or ODA archives and delivered when needed for edit or broadcast.

eMAM Feeder is a local ingest system from any Mac, Linux, or PC desktop Users can drag and drop or scan folders. They can choose appropriate categories and projects and metadata tags. Users have options to keep content in the source location, copy it, or move it to centralized storage. The Feeder preserves the complex folder structure of the source storage, key for editing and processing many camera formats. Feeder will restart the ingest process if it loses a connection. It can also use file acceleration for faster transfer times.

eMAM manages the generation of proxy copies for sharing and web based collaboration. Using different transcoding systems, eMAM can support almost any format or codec from DNX HD to DPX. This can be done locally through Adobe Premiere, through open source transcoding systems, or almost any system with a command line interface. If the camera or ingest system makes a H264 MP4 for video, then eMAM can use that. eMAM can also manage Telestream Vantage, Harmonic ProMedia Carbon, or Harmonic WFS for server based transcoding.

Metadata is key for driving search. The camera metadata comes in automatically. External metadata can come at ingest through an XML or can be entered in the Feeder. After ingest, users can also enter metadata through the eMAM web or tablet interfaces. eMAM can collect metadata fields into groups which can then be organized into sets. This allows the appropriate metadata fields are associated with the correct user groups and the correct type of assets.

eMAM gives remote and non-technical staff to the edit bay, managing the media and the workflow. eMAM users can search clips, mark, annotate, subclip, and create story boards/sequences. FCP XML can be used to link to FCP 7 editors. Media Composer can be linked with AAF workflows from Telestream Vantage, Marquis Project Parking and Sequence Parking, XMF Server, or Strawberry. eMAM features extensive support for Adobe Premiere Pro editors for multiple workflows through a built-in extension panel for support before, during, and after the editing process.

After editing, eMAM can be used to share links for review and approval, social media, and branded email marketing. eMAM manages the native resolution content, so it can set up complex automated workflows using Telestream Vantage, digital delivery to broadcast servers, publishing to OVP, OTT, VOD or other platforms, or to any other location with transcoding as needed to any location with FTP or file acceleration UDP systems.

Archive

Your mission is to ensure important content is digitized and preserved, while still being accessible.

eMAM Feeder is a local ingest system from any Mac, Linux, or PC desktop Users can drag and drop or scan folders, organize into (sub) categories and projects, tag with comments and metadata, and choose a storage location: keep in the source location, copy it, or move it to centralized storage. The Feeder preserves the complex folder structure of the source storage, which is key for editing and processing many camera formats. Feeder will restart the ingest process if it loses a connection. It can also use UDP file acceleration for faster transfer times.

eMAM manages the generation of proxy copies for sharing and web based collaboration. This can be done locally through Adobe Premiere, through open source transcoding systems, or almost any system though a command line interface. The H264 MP4 proxy for video sharing and collaboration could also be generated directly by many cameras. eMAM can also manage Telestream Vantage, Harmonic ProMedia Carbon, or Harmonic WFS for server based transcoding.

Metadata is the key for search. Camera metadata comes in automatically. External metadata can come at ingest through XML or can be entered in the Feeder. After ingest, users can also enter metadata through the eMAM web or tablet interfaces. eMAM can collect metadata fields into groups, which can then be organized into sets. This allows the appropriate metadata fields are associated with the correct user groups and the correct assets.

Digitization preserves the important content for the organization. It can turn a liability into a viable asset that can be monetized or retasked. eMAM allows multiple ingest options to streamline the process. Metadata tags and labels can be entered separately, at ingest, or after ingest. Users can QC or provide feedback about the digitization during the process. eMAM can manage the content in almost any storage system on premise or in the cloud. It can also directly manage most of the common archive systems to store the content in an LTO or ODA library, which gives a powerful solution for permanent storage at a fraction of the cost. With the eMAM system keeping proxy copies and metadata, users can easily access and share the archived content, so there is a permanent digital library for all of the content at a fraction of the cost.
