Content Management Playout Encryption Broadcast Internet Content Management Services
We offer a range of services covering the digitisation and archiving of your content as well as processing and conversion to multiple digital formats for distribution to other platforms like cable, telephone and internet. Using our digital archive and multi-client Media Asset Management system (MAM), you have complete control over your programme content while we deal with the complex material logistics and back office administration to keep track and log the status of your content at any stage of its journey. This saves you time and money. We also help you to streamline your workflows to be more efficient in the way you deal with your content distribution, its preparation and even with other third party suppliers both up and down the value chain. And if you still use tapes, we make sure they are stored securely and safely for the future.
Our Services The platform architecture of the SES MAM system has been specifically engineered to offer scalable solutions to support customers through the introduction and migration to file based, digital content management and distribution. Using the SES Platform Services infrastructure, you can easily store, manage, convert and then export content into multiple digital formats. At the heart of the platform is our multi-client MAM system. With a convenient and user friendly interface, you have remote access to your content stored in the digital archive via the PC in your office.
