Media Asset Management

IPTV exploits the fixed broadband network for the distribution of both linear and on-demand video channels to the home users. An important component of the infrastructure used by Telecom operators for operating IPTV services is the Media Asset Management System, namely the system in charge of managing the lifecycle of video content from ingestion to publishing to the dedicated content delivery networks.

TXT Polymedia provides Media Asset Management (MAM) solutions specifically designed for addressing the functions required by Telecom operators for operating their IPTV services.

The TXT Polymedia MAM solution is based on TXT Polymedia Video, the proprietary product for content & media asset management.

The main functions covered by the TXT Polymedia MAM solution include:

• Ingestion of audio/video contents and of related metadata from content providers. Ingestion can be either from live sources, tape recorders or IP networks;
• Metadata classification;
• Editing;
• Aggregation of audio/video contents with collateral marketing materials;
• Transcoding of audio/video contents in the required delivery formats;
• Delivery of audio/video contents to content delivery networks.

The flexible and open Polymedia architecture allows the easy integration of the product in any IT infrastructure and, furthermore, it allows the easy configuration of workflows.

The TXT Polymedia MAM solution is already operating IPTV services for important Telecom operators.
