The Video Open Studio features are designed for organisations who need a high level of flexibility and control over their video archives at all stages in the workflow, from ingestion through to delivery. Audio formats are also supported where specified below.
Extend FocusOPEN Digital Asset Manager's video management capabilities with advanced cataloguing and viewing features like editing, timeline metadata, live transcoding, advanced playback and video streaming - to provide your user base with a level of control only previously available from specialist video archive systems. Our user-friendly system requires no training and is free from per-seat/per user licensing, all of which better guarantee significant savings in your overall expenditure. Note: The Video Open Studio is a FocusOPEN Digital Asset Manager platform component and cannot be sold separately.
Supports Many Audiovisual Formats, Including DVD and MXF files
The Video Open Studio supports and distributes wide range
of video and audio formats, including: QuickTime (MOV), Windows Media (WMV), Flash Video
(FLV), MPEG (1,2 & 4), JPEG2000, DIV/X, AVI, AAF, ASF, MP3, WAV, AAC and OGG/Vorbis.
Distribute 'ready-to-burn' downloads to users with advanced upload features designed to
support the delivery of DVD/VOB and MXF video files
Extensive Video Processing
Generate stills, storyboards, thumbnails and high-quality,
fast-loading, full-length previews from original video files - either on
ingestion or on demand (can be displayed with or without copy-protective watermarks).
Advanced Playback Controls
Provide far greater control over video playback on the web
with advanced features including: scrubbing, play/pause, step forward/backward,
slow motion, forward to end, rewind to start, mark in/out (cue) points, SMPTE timecode display,
full-screen and preview playback modes.
Editing (With Cue-Point Logging)
Enable users to mark in/out (or cue) points along
a video or audio timeline, add comments and share these with other
library users, or download their edited versions in a wide
range of video and audio formats.
Timeline Cataloguing (Metadata)
Leverage audiovisual assets with timeline metadata, an advanced
cataloguing feature that enables administrators to apply metadata not only to the
file, but to specific frames or sequences within a video or audio timeline.
The detailed micro-navigation this provides enables users to quickly locate
relevant chapters in a file and can be indexed to provide users with immediate
access to specific sequences from their search results, saving them many hours
of trawling through footage.
Extensive Audiovisual Transcoding (Encoding)
Enable live or queued transcoding (conversion)
of video or audio footage. A flexible server architecture allows new
formats to be quickly added as released.
Container Formats
3GPP, 3G2, ASF, AVI, GXF, HDV, LXF, MPEG-2 PS,
MPEG-2 TS, MXF, QuickTime, VOB, WAV, Broadcast WAV, WMA, WMV
Video Codecs
DivX, DPS, DV25, DV50, DVCPro, Flash, H.263, H.264,
JPEG2000, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, VC-1, Windows Media, Real Video
Audio Codecs
AAC audio, AIF/AIFF, AMC, AMR-NB, AU, DTS, MP3,
OGG, PCM, Real Audio, WM Audio
Linked Media (Asset Cross-Referencing)
FocusOPEN's polyhierarchical metadata model enables assets in
other formats to be associated with a video or audio file, or correlated to specific
frames or sequences on its timeline. As such, related project files, like transcripts,
treatments, storyboards or cast photos can be stored and retrieved alongside the original
audiovisual file.
The Video Open Studio can be used by various organisations including:
Public Sector Audiovisual Archives
Public sector archives use the Video Open Studio
to improve the depth of logging and documentation for time-based assets
like film or audio. Formerly complex, time-consuming tasks such as
transcription or timecode cross-referencing with other artefacts can
be achieved quickly and easily using cue point
and linked media features.
Corporate Audiovisual Libraries
Corporate audiovisual libraries use the Video Open
Studio to gain greater control over their operational and corporate
videos such as cultural archives, training videos and CSR footage.
The metadata, logging
and documentation features allow more in-depth cataloguing details
to be stored, while the advanced transcoding
enables videos to be used by employees in a format fit for their purpose.

re-appropriate video content for use in a wide range of marketing
activities, including delivery via corporate intranets or websites.
