Solution Brief | Studio Portal

Diskover’s unique architecture allows production studios to keep track of their projects/data sitting at different post-houses. Diskover provides up-to-date indexes of all files both on- premise and in S3 buckets. The distributed architecture enables the components responsible for index tasks to be geographically distributed to proximity of storage repositories being indexed. The distributed architecture provides Production Studios the ability to have a “portal” into their scattered projects/data distributed among post facilities providing content services. The search indexes can be integrated into existing Production Studios’ pipelines via robust, open, industry- standard APIs. In addition, Diskover has off-the-shelf plugins to enrich common scheduling and media packages, like Xytech, Telestream Vantage and Glim, CineViewer, and more.
