Many sports broadcasters are moving to digital asset management in an increasingly file-based world. Preview+, a module to Nesbit’s Media Library System (MLS), provides a digital-asset-management system that adds video proxy files to the information managed by the MLS. Preview+ offers a single portal for managing both analog and digital content. The NSi Media Library System is an archival and tracking system for video production.

The video proxy files provide frame-accurate representations of digital content. Functions include video logging, EDL creation, and distribution of selected log records to file formats of the user’s choice. “With Preview+, we make it easy to achieve digital asset management, video logging, clip selection, and distribution of the file,” says NSi President Irene Nesbit. “We listened carefully to what our customers wanted.”

With Preview+, users can also create a subset of a low-res file and transform it to the format required for streaming. And Preview+ now integrates with IPV, Thomson Grass Valley Aurora Browse, and EVS.
