T

of Masstech Innovations Inc., the
broadcast and media industry's largest
provider of solutions for managing
the lifecycle of valuable media
assets. Dramatically strengthening

media lifecycle management solutions
and world-class support its customers
expect.
At IBC2017 Masstech Innovations Inc.

The company will highlight its
expanded cloud support. New options
enable customers to adopt the cloud
at their preferred pace. FlashNet can

now utilise Amazon's S3 and Glacier
storage as archiving destinations,
with rules-based automation to move
assets between platforms. In addition
to its own new S3 storage support,
MassStore can also now be hosted
in the cloud. Customers can deploy
the MassStore platform or individual
components in public or private
clouds, or locally on 100% virtualised
or physical systems.
Masstech Innovations will show
its enhanced FlashNet Infinity User
Interface, which provides users
with an elegant dashboard and
sophisticated toolset for archive and
restore functionality, system health,
monitoring, analysis and more. New
features include: Navigator, which
provides a visual file explorer view
of all archived assets; Disk Explorer,
enabling users to archive selected

files and folders
easily and visually;
Verify, validating the
presence of expected
content in the archive
and
identifying
assets that need to
be updated from disk
and a refreshed user
interface.
Newsroom Integration is another
key element of Masstech Innovations'
IBC offering. Enhancing MassStore's
award-winning newsroom workflow,
a redesigned plug-in for third-party
newsroom computer systems (NRCS)
will make its IBC debut. Aligning
with the latest MOS standards, the
new plug-in is based on HTML5 and
brings elegant media management,
advanced searching and embedded
video manipulation capabilities to
users within their familiar NRCS
interface. Upcoming functionality will
also be previewed that streamlines the
integration of video with stories from
major third-party newswire services.
The company will demonstrate
extended FlashNet Storage Platform
and Format Support. Integration with

cartridges with 100-year shelf life

read and process AXF objects ensures
long-term content accessibility and
compatibility, while DPX format
support provides efficient handling of
cinema-oriented media.
