Invenio® Insight

Digital Asset Management


The digitization of content presents the opportunity to design an operation focused on achieving the maximum value from your content assets.

Invenio® Insight puts you in control of your media transformation by making it possible to develop new products and services with a shorter time to market.

  • Prepare content for repurposing — and get it distributed

Product Details

Improve the efficiency of content management
As you seek new business opportunities, the content formats that you need to support will grow, which can lead to increased overhead and operational complexity. Invenio Insight streamlines your content workflows to allow your business to take advantage of new revenue opportunities with minimum investment. Information about the location, format and status of your content is always at hand.

Invenio Insight automates your file-based operations, including digital media ingest, transcoding, media duplication and transfers. The system relates data to content — even down to the frame — and integrates your devices to ensure that you deliver the right content to the right person at the right time. It does all of this at a price that delivers immediate value to your business.

Supercharge your workflow
Instantly know what new assets have been ingested into the system. Search for content, create new versions and more.

Designed to integrate with Harris D-Series™ and ADC™ playout automation systems, Harris NEXIO® video servers and a large number of third-party products, Invenio Insight allows you to incorporate rich content browsing and media transfer functionality across your entire operation.

InvenioInsightSearch.jpgDon’t search for content... Find it
The Invenio Insight search engine and thesaurus help you find the content you need without wasting valuable time. The innovative search engine delivers unified search results from all relevant metadata across all storage devices in all configured domains. Whether you are researching ideas or pursuing a specific asset, Invenio Insight offers standard search operators and keywords to quickly retrieve the results you need.

Search results allow you to preview proxy media and move the corresponding high-resolution content from an archive to a production or playout destination.

The thesaurus enables you to develop and manage a common language for identification of content. This improves both the accuracy and precision of content searching by retrieving all relevant content, regardless of whether it was filed under different terms for the same concept.

Unleash your creativity
Invenio Insight provides innovative tools for your team to facilitate creative collaboration while reducing the energy expended on content management. By automating media status notification and providing transfer progress, your staff can focus on their creative goals, not on shuffling tapes or files around.

Take full advantage of creative resources and teamwork by providing accessibility and flexibility to your user community. Invenio Insight digital asset management allows you to effectively and efficiently manage your own personal workspace and to work collaboratively with others. Personal and project folders simplify storage of work in progress and previous assignments.

With Invenio Insight you can

  • Research content, work on active projects, or kick off workflows to move content across your organization
  • Browse low-resolution content without the overhead of library checkout and content movement
  • Enter metadata once — it is instantly reflected across all material copies and shared with all users
  • Make edits directly on the SAN, with minimal file movement
  • Create new versions and edit without the overhead of moving high-resolution files or switching between Windows and Mac clients
