Image Mine Video Library

Image Mine is a complete, affordable, turnkey library solution for creating, indexing, storing and searching video clips. The integrated modules coordinate all activities related to your asset archive, including logging and cataloging, searching, browsing and tracking functions.

Logging, browsing and tracking functions operate on various workstations throughout your organization and are supported by a relational database engine. The minimum configuration is one TEPX Gold video logger software and one Image Library Gold (the database). Image Track is a LAN based software that anyone (with user permissions) can access across your network--or install it on a single computer for the Librarian--it's up to you.

Add as many TEPX stations as you like to log material, contribute, or query the database for "desktop editing". Individual user activities can be restricted as needed with user profile permissions.

For example, a typical configuration is to have a single "Librarian" station with authority to contribute, but many individual logger stations able to search and log locally without adding directly to the database.

 

Desktop Editing

Want to save a bundle on video playback decks? Add the MPEG encoding option to Image Mine and let your producers work from their desks without an attached deck. Centrally digitize clips and let producers log from them across the LAN.

With TEPX Gold your producers also can rough cut a show at their desktops. They'll be able to augment a story with a few stock shots from the library too. Just search Image Mine using TEPX. Build a "selects file" by copying and pasting "hits" into any open log file. Drag the clips into desired sequence, and output list for the editor.

They can play the archived clip's MPEG file, change IN/OUT points as desired, and even grab a new representative thumbnail and type in a new description.

All the logging and output formats of TEPX are available to your producers, regardless of the whether the clips were just logged or mixed with archived ones. That means they can create batch digitizing lists for the editor, print storyboards, even e-mail the shot list all without leaving their desk.

Compatibility:

All Image Mine Gold modules run under Windows XP & 2000. Image Track will also run under Windows Me, NT & 98SE. Image Library requires 2000 or NT.

Image Browse-Web runs under any web browser platform (Explorer, Netscape, etc.). MPEG-1 video clip play back may require later version web browsers.

  Plus Asset Management

Image Mine includes a relational Image Library database for logging, cataloguing, tracking and searching tape libraries and clips. Image Mine features software based scene change detection for clip logging. This feature can be configured to your preferred sensitivity to scene change. As logging is taking place you can select a representative frame (this does not have to be the first frame in a clip) while the software detects the next frame change.

Post and production companies will find that Image Mine is a complete media asset management solution for logging, cataloging and searching.
You can also add LAN or Web based browsing and physical tape tracking (bar coding) modules that are sold separately. The versatility and scalability of Image Mine is unmatched with its customizable interface, relational database storage, recall, and networking capabilities.
