The Gravity Asset Manager Software is the main interface used by system managers who control encode/decode/transcode operations and control team workflow. It provides an overview and control of the entire Gravity system. From this central operating interface area the Manager can monitor the flow of data throughout the system and access a comprehensive suite of content management tools including; the Scheduler, Media Manager and System Monitor as required. The Asset Manager also provides remote control of encoding, decoding, transcoding, sequencing and system monitoring.
The main Asset Manager GUI provides three main activity areas; A Content Browser section provides a simple interface with which to locate and store content on servers across the entire network. The Media Player provides powerful tools in a streamlined interface and enables viewing, marking and job assigment. A Workflow pane shows and enables editing of individual clip metadata. The Media Info pane is the hub of workflow control; from here individual encodes and stories can be assigned for further activity and ongoing workflow progress monitored.
