| CIS
develops image and video archive management systems as well as TV and radio streaming solutions. |
|
CIS have been developing software for media
archive management systems since 1991. We only work on large-scale
projects for corporate and government clients including the Ministry
of Defence, The Police, The BBC, ITN, The Imperial War Museum, British
Telecom and British Pathe. Our software systems have been developed
over the last fifteen years to provide a flexible architecture, able
to interface with existing software and able to integrate with existing
working practices. Our archive management system, Imagen, contains a number of modules that are designed to work together in a coordinated way to reduce the manual intervention required to manage very large-scale media archives. It is possible to use Imagen as a complete media asset management system, with an associated website for streamed delivery and e-commerce systems. We have developed all of the code in our digital media archive management system including the text retrieval DBMS, stream servers, MPEG transcoders and all other utility and service applications. Because of this we are able to customise systems extensively to fit very closely with customer requirements and work practises. We prefer to use industry standard protocols and interfaces and embrace the use of open-source code to speed development and to keep costs down. We have experience of integrating our software with many different types of administrative, commercial and industrial systems. |
