Products

XEN:Pipeline is a new generation content management system that can process all types of files and metadata, from programme inception through to packaging and delivery. Supported by a fully flexible data schema, a powerful business logic layer, this highly automated system supports processing and transformation of all types of assets, files and metadata for delivery to any linear or non-linear location. It is unique on many fronts; the way it presents the association between the business hierarchy and its related files, the intuitive UI designed with simplicity in mind, the internal workflows optimised by AI and represented by a graphical representations of the throughput or the method in which it can discover files across globally diverse storage environments and present the results within a common namespace.

With the inclusion of “big data” handling, AI and Machine learning, content identification and minimal code sets these all ensure XEN:Pipeline is quite simply leading from the front...

A mature and unique module which manages the receipt, curation, validation, packaging and delivery of assets, language files, artwork, business files and metadata to any defined end point. XEN: Optima driven by configuration and extensive business rules, epitomises the concept of automation, manage by exception.

Proven to dramatically reduce overheads, increase throughput, improve the quality of the package and guarantee SLA’s.

XEN:Sim is the first of its kind in the market. Either deployed alongside XEN:Optima or as a stand-alone tool, this module helps clients to model and optimise existing or planned workflows or environments in order to identify bottlenecks, spare capacity, issues and opportunities. Virtual representations can be constructed for testing, evaluation and critically, optimisation.

Wonder why people are sitting around, why additional transcoders do not improve throughput? XEN:Sim can answer these questions……and more.

XEN:Transformer underpins the other modules but it also offered as a stand-alone, highly resilient, and crucially, media-centric Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). It is specifically written to automate robust, bidirectional transformation and exchange of data between in-house, cloud, hosted, or supplier systems. The product is mature, highly performant and able to scale.

Cost effective, highly flexible and simple to implement it offers an industry optimised feature rich alternative to the heavyweights.

XEN:Store provides a real-time global view of assets, files and related metadata elements, presented within a common global hierarchy, irrespective of location or storage type. It can aggregate almost any global storage environment with minimal engineering effort, without disruption to existing functionality and to national defence grade security standards.

Single management layer provides the opportunity to utilise your global archives, identify legacy files and exploit more content
