ContentShare Introduction

The transition to digital broadcasting has brought with it a greater use of specialized applications, from news-gathering packages to archival software. To leverage digital assets scattered among disparate applications, broadcasters have traditionally relied on expensive, custom application interfaces. The open Grass Valley Group ContentShare™ platform for distributed media asset management eliminates that restriction.

The ContentShare platform is a collection of tools built on standard Internet technologies that provides a unifying environment for best-of-class applications. Using the ContentShare platform, only one interface is necessary to provide transparent, Web-based access to an underlying application—access that leaves the unique storage scheme of that application intact.

For users, this approach offers a consistent access and retrieval method, fewer costs, the opportunity to integrate the best applications possible into their work environment and the ability to create a ubiquitous media management system that spans an enterprise. For developers, the platform offers faster development cycles and provides a consistent management framework that respects the integrity of its underlying applications.

The ContentShare platform ships automatically from Grass Valley Group and its key strategic partners, and is widely available for developers and integrators.
