Media Asset Management Systems (MAM)

BTW, I think it basically does the same thing that FCS does. We just have such a mixed environment that it was not feasible. Frankly, I would have preferred FCS, but have to work with what I found when I arrived here. While my preference has always been Mac, I walked into a house of PC’s. Interestingly, I was brought in because they couldn’t get all of these PC’s working. While we’re hoping to eventually transition to Mac’s, it is going to be a long, slow process (can you say, economy?) The reason that I recommended the CatDV system for this facility was two fold; 1. It is cross platform and scalable 2. Data can migrate easily out of this system, should we decide on a different database in the future.

You may find CatDV useful in the field, for logging and organization. I originally acquired it to manage time and date information from DV tapes. I’ve found myself using it a great deal.

Thanks man. We bought it for the DV tape recognition, which worked really well, BTW.

Hi Marvin,
I work for an IT company who has been engaged to deploy an iSCSI SAN for a media company. The media company uses Sony HDXChange which they want to integrate with an external storage array (iSCSI SAN). We are not getting any help from Sony. can you offer any help?

Brgds,
