Why MediaRich?

MediaRich removes the need to pre-process your content in advance for to the multitude of platforms that your customers and clients require. MediaRich is incredibly powerful and flexible and can be deployed on Premises or in the cloud (Azure and AWS ready).

Dynamic Imaging

MediaRich comes with an unmatched pedigree in image processing that allows you to remove the need to spend time, effort and money on processing all the required versions you need. With MediaRich you are able to use your master files wherever you have them stored and deliver them automatically where they are required in the correct format. MediaRich’s tools enable you to take almost any file type and apply a wide variety of processes including crops, transforms, text overlays and composites. This means you can showcase every item in your inventory in every possible option and have them customizable on your website. Every size you need will be there from thumbnails to zoomable high resolution images, automatically in the correct formats and they will all be cached to be delivered even quicker. With MediaRich you can highly target your marketing with personalized imagery in emails, on web banners or in mobile ads. With the OneViewer ™ viewer you can enhance your customers viewing experience offering them solutions to interact with your content on websites and mobile devices, automatically. This means your customers can view your content on any platform and the best use of screen real estate detected automatically, making use of touch gestures to easily get closer to any object, and navigate to what you want to see now, and without a lot of bandwidth. MediaRich is not just limited to image content. You can also deliver documents like PDFs or Office documents which can be made available through the OneViewer viewer so clients can view them without having to download them or have the application installed on any platform. This is ideal for company intranets or customer portals. OneViewer™ this image Dynamic Video Delivery Adding video to your communication mix leads to improved customer engagement. However, with a multitude of sources for your video and the wide range of output platforms the process of delivering video content is very labor intensive and time consuming. MediaRich has literally re-invented transcoding with a next generation 64-bit A/V Core 2 engine which enables the delivery of your video content to all platforms automatically. MediaRich can take multiple files and auto-assemble them into a single normalized set of files so even if you have source content having different frame rates and aspect ratios, it produces the necessary high quality deliverable in your desired format. During this process MediaRich can edit each frame individually applying transitions, transformations, effects and overlays to each frame. This means from a single or multiple high quality sources you are able to deliver versions for web, mobile and over-the-top video scenarios without manual labor. With the auto assembly you can add custom pre-and post rolls that target particular markets along with versioning adding alternate graphics and subtitles, all processed on-demand, or delivered as part of a self-service portal for example.

Video production and approval workflows

With video production one of the major bottlenecks is the process of review and approval especially with a remote team. MediaRich offers workflows providing solutions for delivering versions at different resolutions, have the ability to zoom and pan individual frames for QC, creation of email-able links to files and production of video frame proof sheets and all of this can be done automatically.

MediaRich A/V Core 2

Automatically process and assemble audio and video files on-demand and deliver to any device, app or website.

The new A/V Core 2 engine that powers the new MediaRich’s audio and video handling has been completely re-written as a 64-bit engine that allows it to take advantage of GPU acceleration and the ability to process large files including 4K and 8k video.

High Speed Transcoding

A/V Core 2 offers incredible high-speed software transcoding which offers over 10 times speed improvements from the previous A/V Core. The addition of GPU hardware transcoding brings even higher speeds.

Automated Editing

A/V Core 2 can edit each frame individually in the transcode pipeline, these modifications are script driven, using the MediaRich Pipe to apply transitions, transformations, effects and overlays to each frame. It can even embed Digimarc watermarks into the frames if you have a license.

Powerful auto-assembly

Unlimited number of clips can be combined into a single output file and single track (one each for audio and video), either via appending or even overlaying one another. It can also generate multiple tracks if required.
AVCore_auto-assembly
A/V Core 2 can even auto-rotate videos shot in portrait or upside down (using the device rotation metadata if available). Still images can easily be converted into videos and the same scripted effects, transitions, etc. can be applied. Audio can be combined separately from video, allowing for replacement of the existing audio in the video file with a soundtrack or narration, thus making versioning for multiple markets a simple process. Video and audio are normalized, removing issues with multiple formats in a single movie, to a single format without having to rely on a special player capable of playing variable format containers.

Input and Output flexibility

A/V Core 2 supports the widest range of input and output formats, and their associated codecs allowing the ability to take in different formats and delivering to the required outputs that are compatible with HTML5, Flash, and Silverlight. There is support for more advanced formats like MXF and GXF included for those in broadcast environments.

Metadata Support

Tagged metadata can now be extracted and embedded with most file formats supported by AVCore 2.

Surround Sound

A/V Core 2 enables surround sound audio transcoding for AAC and AC3 codecs*

A/V Settings Maker

A/V Core 2 offers a built-in web-based settings generator that makes the creation of settings files easy. It will output a simple JSON-based text files that can be edited in any text editor after the fact if needed. *Not currently supported for mobile platform delivery

Media Processing

MediaRich Server is now a fully 64 bit application which allows it to process any size document as long as the system it is installed on has enough memory. This includes the File I/O which means files of larger than 4GB are supported, this includes very large files including 4K video, large AEC documents which previously could not be automated anywhere. Streamline the image and video production process MediaRich Server streamlines the image and video production process by providing dynamic imaging (e.g. creation of graphics on demand) across an entire enterprise optimized, and delivered to corporate web sites, intranets, and partner exchanges. Use the tools your designers love Take advantage of a designer’s familiarity with Photoshop and Illustrator functionality – no conversion to proprietary or Web-ready formats is required. Designers can work in the original file format of any size and color mode (paletted, RGB, CMYK), and create media templates to convert a group of images or videos for a particular project for any medium. Server-level control over Photoshop Layers Dynamically change the color of an image or image layer using RGB, CMYK, or hexadecimal color value Enables products to be merchandised in all available colors from a manufacturer, reducing product returns and customer service costs Provides interactivity associated with real-world shopping experiences which increases consumer confidence and increases sales conversion rates by displaying every possible color combination Reduces production time and expenses by enabling just-in-time deployment of multiple color variations from a single source image regardless if the final output is intended for web, print, or multimedia.

Derivative Cache

MediaRich automatically manages all your renditions and keeps track so you don’t have to! MediaRich includes an intelligent caching mechanism which creates and saves dynamically generated content making it available for subsequent requests. At the first request for a specific asset, MediaRich generates the requested item. Additional requests are served out of the cache with no new processing required and is equivalent to serving the digital content as a static file from a normal Web server. This enables a host of new capabilities such as instant resizing of visuals, low bandwidth high quality zoom and pan, dynamic experince creation, automatic branded video creation or wherever your imagination can take you.

Mediascript

The MediaScript Language unifies and simplifies all efforts for content manipulation and creation! The key to MediaRich power and flexibility is its embedded MediaScript programming language. MediaScript is a fully compliant ECMA script implementation supporting the complete JavaScript language specification. MediaRich includes an extensive set of operations for querying and responding to requests for media reading, manipulating and processing sound, video, image, vector and text content. You can customize your workflow with MediaScripts to fit your IT infrastructure & production environments. It also manages the rest of the MediaRich system. Included is a complete library of support objects such as XML, DOM Parser Generators, File and Directory Assessors, string and regular expression libraries, and many more.

OneViewer

MediaRich offers a set of tools to allow the viewing of your files almost anywhere regardless of the users platform or bandwidth. The OneViewer viewer offers the ability to view documents, zoom into them and pan through them, and navigate through multipage documents in a single viewer. The viewer dynamically detects the device and delivers the optimum viewing experience using the available screen real estate to ensure customers get the best possible view of your product.
