The highly ergonomic features of the Media Assist production tools make them very easy to learn and use.

There are several editing levels, ranging from the quick Snippet to the more complex Multi-track Snippet+.

Processing of each production stage is now faster, and can even be processed from a Web-based application.

Browser

Media Assist database Browser (above) and indexation tabs (below)

The Browser is present on all Media Assist workstations. According to the profile, the user may access a set of personalised data.

One special feature of the Browser is the power of its search facility and its ability to bind together one broadcaster's content, even when that content is physically stored on different servers.

There are many search criteria to find a file quickly and all its associated data, that including texts, images or videos.

The Browser includes optional engines opti-mizing datamining. Each type of file is repre-sented by a tab where several search criteria are defined.
