Integration

mediARC is an Archive Asset Management system meticulously crafted to receive, safeguard, and organize valuable multimedia content alongside descriptive metadata and associated documents and artwork. Its primary objective is to ensure the secure storage and indefinite protection of this content while also making it easily discoverable, researchable, and navigable.

Above all, mediARC is designed to make this content readily available for further use whenever required and in the desired format. Serving as the backbone for content-based processes, regardless of the organization's core business, mediARC seamlessly integrates into all operations, ensuring critical information is always accessible and empowering institutions to thrive in an ever-changing environment.

mediARC, as an archive-centric framework, harnesses the full power of NOA's extensive range of native actLINE processor applications. While many are optimized tools for file processing, some actLINE products are specifically designed to facilitate the use of external third-party tools and scripts (interfacing).

Another invaluable asset in mediARC's integration capabilities is the native XML parser engine and the unique scripting engine DBScripter. These sophisticated and easily manageable tools simplify file-based interactions with existing IT systems, streamlining integration processes.

• Deliver media directly to your PAM in production format with a simple one-click order.
  
• Schedule automatic delivery of new content, including metadata, to your web CMS.
  
• Integrate your e-commerce platform to request media from the archive through the API.
  
• Configure your website to synchronize metadata with the archive through the API.
  
• Create custom orders of media with subtitles and metadata for your playout servers,
  
• and much more!
  

As an OAIS-compatible archive system, mediARC adheres to stringent security and access-control standards. All media ingest and outgest requests are managed through server-side workflows. Media outgest requests typically take the form of e-commerce-like basket orders, enabling full or partial file retrieval from the archive master format (e.g., FFV1, BWF, etc.), including tandem XML metadata files.

Order workflows can be also triggered manually by one-click Item Buttons, remotely through the mediARC API, or on a schedule (e.g., repository synchronization). Files can be delivered to local or remote shared folders, FTP servers, etc., and are processed by native actLINE processors, such as MediaButler.

mediARC, NOA's Archive Asset Management system, is a highly configurable and scalable framework of applications emphasizing efficiency, quality, and performance. It is equipped with numerous useful interfaces that facilitate the harnessing of external performance and communication with outside systems.
