MediaBeacon (BrighTech)

Description

MediaBeacon gives users access to the HELIOS server over the internet. MediaBeacon users can search for any digital assets (images, documents, sounds, movie files, ...) online or in archives. MediaBeacon automatically synchronizes with the HELIOS server, and even multiple file servers can be presented through one MediaBeacon server. If a file is modified, the changes are automatically made visible via MediaBeacon. The built-in SQL database is fully customizable to allow for individual metadata configuration. Full upload and download capabilities extend the server-based workflow to any remote customer.

Benefits

• Easy administration by allowing remote group administrators to manage their own users
• Easy and powerful repurposing of images by downloading in the requested format (image conversion is done using HELIOS' ImageServer libraries)
• Live discussion of assets with position marks (stickies) in the preview
• “Low-Risk” concept by writing all database metadata information into the filesystem as XML files
• Keep an offline overview of your assets by creating a PDF catalog with links to the MediaBeacon database
• Easy re-branding, with a fully customizable user interface and database configuration
