In today’s 360 degree digital media environment the need to maximise the value
of content is self evident. The more content can be repurposed, the more
revenue streams are created. Add to this the transitioning of the media
industries from tape to file-based working and the net effect is a
proliferation of digital media files on a scale never before encountered.
It was for managing, transcoding and distributing these files efficiently
and cost effectively that ContentAgent was developed.
A universal platform for managing, repurposing and distributing digital content,
ContentAgent streamlines any file-based workflow, improving productivity.
The system is easy to use with an elegant interface that echoes current
working practices and provides seamless continuity of operation between
acquisition, transcoding and distribution.
Effortless operation means that highly paid engineering staff need not get
bogged down with day-to-day transcoding. ContentAgent’s Workflow Designer
enables even the most complex processes to be created, stored and repeated
at will by non-technical staff, increasing profitability and freeing up resources.
