How It Works

Media Gateway Online was designed with cost effective simplicity in mind. To produce searchable and interactive media for your Website, the only thing you'll need is video content in a tape, digital file, or live feed format. Pictron can simultaneously encode video in Microsoft Windows Media, Real, QuickTime, and MPEG formats in multiple bitrates allowing you to reach your entire targeted audience.

In the process, Pictron's Media Gateway Suite automatically indexes, catalogs, and summarizes video content to make video searchable. Once the video has been encoded and indexed, the encoded video can be uploaded to Media Gateway Online for Internet access. The visual, audio, and textual indices are stored in Pictron's data center.

Pictron provides standard template Web pages and graphics for video search, video browsing, and email video clips. Working with your Pictron Account Manager, you can retain the look and feel of your existing Website, maintaining your own branding, while seamlessly integrating searchable video. Your web site audience will enjoy the unique experience of searchable and interactive video without even being aware of the existence of Media Gateway Online in the background.
