Q: Looking for new asset management system/FCS successor

Hi all,

 

I’ve been looking around for a new asset management and encoding platform for our editing enviroment consisting of 11 Mac Pro’s with a 64 TB raid 5 Xsan volume. We’re still running Final Cut server, tweaked in a way it can use compressor 4 codecs. So our codecs and stuff are stil up to date, the only problem is the hardware which is running for 6 years at the moment.

 

So I’m looking for a new asset management/ encoding platform, found some alternatives like CatDV, Telestream Vantage, MediaBeacon and Portfolio. I like CatDV because they have the final cut server migration tool but I was wondering what you guys think. The following actions are being mostly used in our enviroment now:

 

- Encoding

- Copy responses (using hot folders)

- Mail responses

- Uploads to FTP

 

Any of you out there experience with one of the earlier mentioned systems? Or working with something else that can fit to my needs? I woud love to hear!!

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Best regards,

 

Jan-David
