DIVAdirector provides a management GUI for the content in the archive, while providing the necessary information to direct content through integration to a variety of applications. Determinations by DIVAdirector including Partial File Restore enhance the workflow delivery. DIVAdirector also views content across networked DIVArchive systems.
Locating, retrieving and managing the delivery of content are the essential elements of DIVAdirector. As the window into the archive, DIVAdirector provides a variety of important features that enhance workflows. Partial File Restore, import and export of metadata, and shot list creation extend the workflow to other integrated systems.

LOCATE
DIVAdirector is a browser-based MAM interface to DIVArchive. Content can be searched and located in the archive using content metadata. Media can be viewed with a proxy playback and associated thumbnails. The embedded Player is timecode accurate which is critical when making Partial File Restore decisions. DIVAdirector also extends the content by providing associated metadata, which c an be imported from external applications.
PROTECT
Large video repositories often need to keep content separated through user authentication. DIVAdirector can fence off content and allow only viewing by login credentials. This provides the ability to have content for a variety of purposes in the Archive while controlling the exposure of that content.
MANAGE
Within DIVAdirector, a variety of functions take place. Proxy playback files of the content are either imported or generated with DIVArchive Actor/Transcoder(s). Thumbnails for the asset can be selected and other metadata from secondary sources can be imported and associated with the asset. Frame accurate shot lists can also be created to assist in other workflow efforts in delivery and editing. Metadata can be enhanced, adding to the search and usage capabilities of the content. As well, DIVAdirector integrates with the SAMMA product line, including importing migration metadata.
DELIVER
Locating the video is just the initial step, DIVAdirector can then deliver the content to any of the integrated workflows that are interfaced to the DIVASolutions environment. Whether sending off a clip to any Non-Linear-Editing system (e.g. AVID, Apple, Adobe, etc.) or sending content for publication to on-line communities through the DIVApublish mpx gateway, DIVAdirector communicates with DIVArchive to fulfill delivery to
a variety of destinations. This is further enhanced by using Partial File Restore options to save time and resources by sending only what’s needed while minimizing the use of valuable bandwidth.
NETWORK
The ability to move content through an organization sometimes means there are geographical challenges. The DIVASolutions workflow allows multiple DIVArchive systems in different locations to be interconnected through DIVAnet. DIVAdirector can associate work across these networks viewing the content in any DIVArchive on the network, while providing delivery of the content to the necessary destination. This powerful ability creates a global open, active and connected archive.
SCALE
DIVAdirector supports HTTP-based adaptive streaming, whereby client Internet browsers can seamlessly and dynamically switch between different video and audio bit rates depending on available network conditions and CPU power. The resulting user experience is one of reliable, consistent playback without stutter, buffering, or “last mile” congestion. DIVAdirector scales from one to 100 concurrent users. And since the GUI for DIVAdirector is browser-based, any license of DIVAdirector can be accessed just about anywhere. Licenses are available in multiple packs providing e asy e xpansion as ne eded in a bus y networked en vironment.
