LEDS Announces Faster Than Real-Time Digital Indexing - Media Archive System MediaIndexer.

SEVERN, Md. -- Leading Edge Design & Systems (LEDS) introduces MediaIndexer(TM), a powerful and cost-effective digital media indexing tool based on MediaMiner(TM), a patent-pending engine that enables organizations to quickly index, catalogue and annotate source files. Able to operate on Windows(R), Unix(R) and Linux(R) platforms, this powerful engine can process digital video formats faster-than-real-time and can simultaneously process multiple streams. MediaIndexer(TM) extracts multi-resolution key frames from digital video and combines them with the audio track in a dynamically-generated SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) file, ideal for use in low-bandwidth situations. MediaIndexer's(TM) intelligent key frame analysis and metadata extraction capabilities make this a best-in-class asset management tool. MediaIndexer(TM) can be used as a standalone engine and has the ability to automatically clip and segment video, producing results formatted in standard XML.

"We realized that there was a high demand and need for companies to quickly and cost effectively index, manage and share content that would serve both their customer base and internal value chain," said Brad Pumphrey, President of EastBay Media. "MediaIndexer enables our customers to do just that; rapidly deploy and re-use rich media content."

When combined with Media Archive System(TM) (MAS), MediaIndexer(TM) provides 100% web based cataloging. MAS(TM) MediaIndexer improves productivity by allowing multiple users to clip, annotate and catalog media from anywhere around the world. "There has been a proliferation of digital media on the internet," said Joe Gordon, President and CEO of LEDS, "which requires the need to efficiently extract important information from various clips. MAS(TM) MediaIndexer saves time and money by processing higher volumes of content and quickly making the content re-usable worldwide."

From Internet video indexing and streaming media services to media portal technology, MAS(TM) MediaIndexer's ease of use and advanced capabilities fulfill company's media asset needs.
