Proxsys PX-Series
Proxsys PX-Series What is Proxsys? With an intuitive browser-based interface, robust features, and scalable configuration options, the Proxsys Media Server makes media asset management and media archiving simple and cost-effective. By combining the functionality, flexibility, and scalability of a custom system with the implementation time and ownership cost of an "out of the box" solution, Proxsys gives you the performance you want for a price you can afford. Proxsys Main Screen List View Proxsys Media Server A fully integrated solution, the Proxsys Media Server combines Proxsys software with professional-grade server hardware to provide a turnkey media asset management system that can easily grow as your needs evolve. Media stored on Proxsys is accessed through an intuitive browser-based interface (Windows Os and MAC OS supported)-no proprietary client software is required. Designed for fast performance, the Proxsys Media Server uses rich metadata to make it easy to find and retrieve media assets quickly. Low-resolution H.264 proxy video clips from nearly all popular file and codec formats ( f.e. XDCAM, XDCAM EX, AVCIntra, AVCHD, DNxHD, ProRes422, H.264, MPEG2 ) allow for quick preview, protect high-resolution media assets, and save network bandwidth. The browser-based user interface provides immediate access to audio, video, images, and text-based data from any location. Additional features include online, nearline and offline usage,picture-to-clip extract, multi-client support and access rights management. No compromise was made to support complex ile structures ( f.e. Sony XDCAM, Panasonic P2) or even complete NLE projects from popular editing software like AVID Media Composer, Adobe Premiere or Apple Final Cut. Related content offers the user to connect any files like contracts, presentations or graphics to media content.

Importing, Tagging, and Organizing Media Media Import The Proxsys Media Server Version 7.1 software includes Proxsys Media Upload (based on Java Webstart technology), a feature that enables you to import individual media files, complex media file structures or entire video editing projects ( NLE ) keeping the metadata and full file structure. Proxsys Java Webstart Uploader Search With Proxsys and its rich metadata capabilities, you'll no longer have to thumb through tapes and DVDs on your shelves, go through folders on your hard disks, or fast-forward through hours of footage trying to find the exact clip that you need-simply enter your search criteria, and Proxsys will display the clips that meet your requirements. It's that simple. Search results are displayed in lists or icon view. Proxsys Content Search Camera and Custom-Defined Metadata Proxsys displays the metadata that your camera provides and allows you to add numerous custom fields. With its rich metadata capabilities, Proxsys enables you to categorize, track, search, and find clips-with amazing speed. phonetic search or search by image completes the feature set. Projects Proxsys uses projects to organize and store media and related files. When you import media, you can either create a new project or assign it to an existing project. Projects can also have subfolders, allowing you to organize files within a project. Media can be assigned to projects based on metadata. As a result, the same video clips can be shared by multiple projects for efficient storage. Different view options enables the user to either concentrate on thumbnails or on metadata lists to find the right content. Preview Proxsys protects your footage and conserves network bandwidth by automatically generating low-resolution H.264/WebM proxy video clips for preview. Using the Flash or HTML5 technology for preview it is not required to install the codecs required for the HiRes playback. In addition to previewing clips, you can also download the entire clip or set start and end points and download a specific portion of the clip for editing or distribution.

Proxsys features a number of export modules (each sold separately) that simplify the distribution process. For example, you can upload video from Proxsys to a web server or an FTP server. When you make video available for download, you can incorporate an order form to collect information before download can begin, ensuring that you capture information about those who use your footage. If you'd like to distribute video on DVD, Proxsys features a module that not only makes it easy to burn DVDs, but also creates menus and labels. Proxsys Main Screen Icon View Protecting Your Assets To keep your media assets secure, Proxsys enables you to assign access rights to projects by groups, ensuring that you maintain complete control over who can access your footage and files. For integration into enterprise IT infrastructure LDAP/Active Directory is supported.
Proxsys Media Server Editions Available in three editions, the Proxsys Media Server features flexible configurations to suit almost any organization. The Small Workgroup Edition is ideal for organizations with up to 10 users. If your organization has 10 or more users, the Workgroup Edition is recommended and is available in different configurations. To obtain more information about selecting the best edition and configuration for your organization, please contact VITEC or study the Proxsys Whitepaper. Supported Media Formats The Proxsys Media Server supports both high- and standard-definition video and generates H.264/WebM proxy files that make it fast and easy to preview footage. In addition to your media assets, Proxsys can also store other information that pertains to your media-based projects, such as proposals, storyboards, supporting documentation, and more. The optional Video-Engine ProPack extends the feature by adding scene detection, watermarking and animated thumbnails.

Proxsys PX-Series Expanding Your System The Proxsys Media Server is the heart of the Proxsys Media Asset Management system and enables you to manage media-based data with efficiency and ease. Depending on your needs, you can expand your media asset management system to include ingest, transcode, and playout (each sold separately). All components are controlled by and managed through the Proxsys Media Server, ensuring that your media assets are centralized, secure, and easily accessible. Proxsys Storage The Proxsys Media Server supports a wide range of storage options, including disk, optical, and tape-based systems. By taking a number of factors into consideration, VITEC can help you determine how much storage capacity you need and which storage option or combination of options will best serve your organization. Online Storage Perfect for daily use, online storage provides quick access to your digital media files over a network. Available in internal and custom configurations, Proxsys online storage options starts at 18 Terrabyte and features capacities of up to Petabytes. Proxsys System Diagram Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) Proxsys technology using proxy Previews and original HiRes Content in parallel is predestinated for hieracical storage management. While the proxy Previews always remain on harddisk storage original HiRes content can be migrated to cost effective and reliable LTO-5/6 tapes tapes. During the search and preview the user gets full performance access, only if HiRes is needed Proxsys will restore files back from LTO-tape. Using PoINT Archiver as a middleware a wide range of LTO-tape libraries are supported. Proxsys Export/Distribution Multiple export modules and distribution methods offers the user extremely efficient workflows. Simply choose the modules or methods that fits your requirements.
