FEATURES
Advanced Audio / Video Support
QuickTime imaging technology is leveraged for audio and video previews, keyframe display, keyframe thumbnail selection, and format transcoding for the following formats: 3G, AIFF, AVI, DV, MOV, MPEG-4, WAV, and iPod. Support for audio and video files enable assets to be designated for Podcasting, then made available on RSS 2.0 feeds that can be used by iTunes and other Podcast enabled clients.
Image Repurposing
QuickTime imaging technology is utilized for thumbnail conversions and image repurposing. Temporary copies of original files can be altered to unique specifications of size, format, and color space, or processing can be preset to standard template requirements for simplification. While Image Portal A/V can store any file type, it has auto thumbnail generation and repurposing capability for the following formats: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PDF, PCX, PNG, PNM, PSD, TGA, and TIFF.
Advanced Searching
Leveraging Spotlight and embedded search engine technology, quickly locate files even among large repositories. Precision searches are narrowed and sortable by specific file categories, metadata fields, files attributes, modification / creation date, and more. Text within PDF, Microsoft Office and other document formats are also searchable.
Smart Folders
Category systems for organizing assets are obsolete and rigid. That's why Image Portal A/V offers you a better way to navigate! Smart Folders contain asset collections based on search criteria that you define instead of their physical location. Smart Folders fundamentally change the way you organize your repository because now an asset can literally be in two folders (or many) at once without duplicating or moving the underlying file.

LDAP Support:
