Sony’s Media Backbone NavigatorX (NVX) is a content and workflow management software solution designed for fast deployment, flexibility and scalability. Building on an open source platform and leveraging the power of web technologies helps to keep costs low and offers the advantages of web-based access and user platform independence. Organize and manage your assets whether located on premise, in archive or in the cloud. NVX provides the added benefit of an easy-to-use integrated workflow engine empowering you to create your own workflows through a simple drag & drop interface. An array of adaptors even enables you to integrate the external gear you might already own – transcoders, NLEs, transfer accelerators, QC and archive middleware – including Xendata.

Simplify: The easy-to-use search window belies the power of the NVX search engine performing simple, multi-tiered or filtered searches. The indexing feature can even include document text in any search.

Organize: With customizable metadata schemas, you decide how much metadata you want to add to your assets. NVX creates proxy video and thumbnails for easy asset identification and a single viewer window provides access to any asset, be it video, image or document.

Manage: Certain files need to be handled in certain ways. You can build this intelligence into NVX without hiring a software engineer. Create custom workflows for file movement, transcoding, QC and archive.

Unify: NVX is designed to work well with others. We have licenses and adaptors for a number of 3rd party devices including transcoders, QC and transfer tools, NLEs and archive middleware. A new multi-instance search option for NVX facilitates searches between different NVX systems – bringing you closer to your colleagues and making asset sharing across distances and facilities as simple as launching a search.
