I've been talking to some colleagues regarding their Media Asset Management software they are using abroad. Although some softwares are already installed locally. I'm still interested on other technology and how'd they do it.
I've actually more inclined with the Italian software with regards to MAMS but still there are some developers that tickles my mind and wanting me to try.
We'll Media Asset management is archiving clips together with its metadata into LTO tape but then also providing the operator to preview the file via Lowres before restoring the clip. If you are having trouble with your MAM's software then probably its time to have a check with the proposal. or better ask other company that is using it. I actually have some groups in linkedin that can help you out decide which is a better alternative.
