Video Suite Option
Find, manage and stream entire videos or individual shots.
The Cumulus Video Suite enables Cumulus Enterprise or Workgroup servers to manage video files as well as individual shots of a video. Due to an award winning shot boundary detection technology Video Suite can automatically create records, previews and thumbnails for each shot in the video, which then can be annotated with additional metadata. Cumulus Video Suite also supports streaming for viewing video files and individual shots over the Internet.
Users can preview videos and shots directly in Cumulus and also edit and view the metadata of each shot. This substantially simplifies the searching and accessing of specific parts of a video.
