Technicolor (Euronext Paris FR0010918292) (NYSE: TCH) today
announced it has launched its MediAffinity digital library
management service and will provide a fully automated content
management service for The Weinstein Company.
MediAffinity, a new service from Technicolor, is a fully
automated workflow solution that enables content owners to
organize, protect and leverage their library assets, and preserve
and digitize deteriorating physical assets. Customers will have
access to this service through a highly intuitive Web interface,
where they will use the power of MediAffinity to automate, access,
archive and securely distribute their library content.
“MediAffinity provides the technology and content management
innovations required to leverage assets in a digital world,” said
Chuck Parker, president of Technicolor’s Digital Content Delivery
division. "The complexity and demand for more digital products is
growing and MediAffinity offers an immediate-access solution that
will allow our customers to avoid capital expenditures and
development time related to internally building digital media
management capabilities.”
“We’ve worked with Technicolor for many years and we’re very
excited to begin using their MediAffinity service to help us better
leverage our library of titles by ingesting, preserving and
distributing them with this next generation tool,” said Lew
Rothman, executive vice president and chief technology officer for
The Weinstein Company. “We felt that Technicolor offered the best
solution because it allows us to have direct control to initiate
workflows and process orders through the customer-facing Web
portal.”
The Weinstein Company will have the capability to initiate
automated digital media workflows, including transcoding and
delivering content files and rich metadata to their licensees and
distribution partners such as Xbox, Amazon, Sony, Singtel and
others. Assets ingested for The Weinstein Company will be available
on a searchable basis with streamable proxies for each asset.
MediAffinity addresses the needs of cable
networks, syndicators, production companies, news and sports
organizations, and non-profits, by providing a way to increase
revenue by offering a self-managed model for automation of digital
content including automated transfers, DRM-enabled global digital
distribution, and a digital archive that provides multiple storage
options to fit each company’s unique needs.
