Next Stop, the World In its efforts to cross the continents, MediaSite has formed relationships with partners across the globe to localize and offer its products in multiple languages to support international users. This year, MediaSite introduced its Japanese version of Publisher, used by the Japanese Ministry of Post and Telecommunications and the Osaka Public Library to index a collection of more than 10,000 hours of Japanese news broadcasts! MediaSite's technology was selected because of its technical superiority to competitive products.

MediaSite Publisher makes it a snap to create searchable video for the web. Publisher allows you to create, edit and publish a video index on the Internet.

Publisher's automation is designed for turning video assets into revenue. Or for creating a searchable video library of historical footage. By making the process fast and efficient, Publisher's automation means a savings of money, resources, and time while making searchable video available on the web.

Publisher's core functions are to construct and describe video segments, and then create a video index. Advanced scene detection capabilities and customizable data fields allow you to tailor the information created during the indexing process. Closed-captioned text can also provide a searchable transcript, providing users still more opportunities to locate the exact video segment they need.

Publisher is flexible, allowing you to work with several media formats. You can index from and encode to multiple video formats like MPEG, Real, and AVI, then quickly publish the files to your site.

When your video index is created, Publisher's unique editing and file management software, Editor, allows you to search, preview and modify indexed video clips — before they're seen by anyone else. Commercials and non-licensed content can be removed, video clips can be re-segmented, and video descriptions can be checked for quality.

Publisher's tools also simplify integrity checks and database replications, plus offer a feature that enables the user to monitor databases. Publishing video to the web is simple with Post, MediaSite's advanced file detection system that transfers files from a local database to databases at remote locations.
