New at Broadcast Asia is iFind from IBIS, which is revolutionising the way that News services such as ITN and BBC Regions are handling the enterprise-wide search for information.

Together with IBIS’s established ServerBase Asset Core application, iFind presents these reference sites with genuine, comprehensive media asset management in a package which includes system-wide searching, sort, move, send-to and restore-from archive management, using true ‘Free Text’ searching through individual words - not just matching a field to search criteria.

iFind functions enable comprehensive searching though a number of criteria: keyword search – throughout all the text fields; category search – for fast filtering of the database and source search – to locate the origination of the media. Together with these, the ability to build searches by subject matter, operate top level rights management and identify media location on an enterprise-wide basis, makes iFind one of the most adaptable, fast and accurate search tools around.

ServerBase gives a central and stable core to the full media management system, enabling business rule based workflows for archive, restore, clip movement and deletion.

Browse proxy support allows desktop clip management with the ability to add and maintain ‘points of information’ to enhance the clip annotation metadata and variants are available for web access or to run as an ActiveX.

One of the key functions of iFind is its remote access capability, which enables secure log in from anywhere in the world to search the Asset core for information, and action according to permissions.

Additionally, on the Omneon Booth, Omneon will be demonstrating News Factory, a marriage of Omneon’s Media Deck and a specially adapted version of IBIS ServerPlay operating in co-operation with ENPS via a dynamic MOS Gateway.
