mediARC is a flexible media ARChive developed in cooperation with dedicated broadcasters and taking advantage of their profound insight into the archive library world.
mediARC addresses the institution’s need for an Enterprise Asset Management which can ingest, describe, archive and deliver content in a way that fits archival requirements not just for the present but for the ensuing decades. Whereas production departments’ and production systems’ needs are typically focused only on the next playout date, archival description of content has to serve history, cultural identity and cultural heritage. mediARC addresses content in a way that retains the archives’ ability to form part of the production chain but at the same time answers the need for a service-oriented legal depository, using a specially developed object data model to portray the complex structures needed for proper description and efficient use of an archive’s content. A powerful and exceptionally fast search engine, capable of combining structured and full text search capabilities, allows easy access to your information.

NOA mediARC’s modular structure means customers can scale the application perfectly to their own performance, security and distributed usage requirements.
Media data can be linked to metadata and storage in a very flexible and granular manner, while the system provides flexible player technology – including third party players and middleware – to access storage management systems. Caching mechanisms and servers offer excellent support for distributed data storage and synchronisation for optimised performance in distributed applications.
mediARC addresses the librarian´s need for structured and flexible archive content management which has to last for decades – a more typical requirement than for production environments – and comes with a range of powerful tools to manage petabytes of media content. And mediARC is a proven system. NOA’s expertise in adapting workflows for the integration of production systems has been gained from the implementation of workflow systems and technological development in several successful extended broadcast installations.
It is based on three principles:
