MOG Technologies in Portugual Partnering With Active Circle

MOG Technologies, a supplier for both centralized ingest solutions and MXF development tools, has announced a partnership with archive solutions provider Active Circle SA.

Today customers’ expectations along with the global burst of content distribution and archiving has led to the need of integrated systems that meet all business needs, from ingest and content management to publishing, including handling of archive operations.

By teaming up with Active Circle, MOG is extending its competitive offer by adding archive capability to its centralized ingest solutions. Besides simplifying their customer’s workflow architecture, MOG is able to address ingest projects with archiving needs, from the local broadcaster to the premium broadcaster that manages thousands of hours of content.

The main benefits of integrating both systems are:

• Integrated workflow from ingest to delivery, completing the process with HSM;
• Compact and modular workflow architecture;
• Continuous access to data, as well as guaranteed data protection;
• Fast content management and access;
• Media lifecycle management on multiple storage, passing through online, nearline and offline stages;
• Possibility to manage multiple resolution workflows across different storage technologies optimizing storage costs according to the needs of each production stage;
• Possibility to use Proxy resolutions of archived material for preview and online editing in NLE, and afterwards batch ingesting only the portions of Hires used for finishing and delivery;
• Metadata enrichment of archived material that helps making every asset meaningful and identifiable;
• Search mechanisms that ensure content identification and repurposing.

Both architectures are modular, meaning that the user can adapt it to every workflow environment.

“We are combining the great performance of mxfSPEEDRAIL centralized ingest solutions with the efficiency of Active Circle technology” says Rui Pereira, COO, MOG Technologies. “By combining both technologies we are not only able to maximize digital content distribution but also ensure its preservation.“

With mxfSPEEDRAIL and Active Circle Archive integration users will now be able to take advantage of centralized ingest solutions coupled with a solution for storing, preserving and accessing large volumes of files.
