SCC to demonstrate a new suite of Rich Internet Applications
(RIA's) at mediaXchange 2010, Orlando FL.
April 1, 2010
ALPHARETTA, GA., April 1, 2010 -- SCC is pleased
to announce the following new suite of Rich Internet Applications (RIA)
to be shown at mediaXchange 2010 (April 11-14), Orlando FL.
SCC SmoothNooz eEdition Module
The SCC SmoothNooz Module generates eEdition
packages automatically from publication data exported by the editorial
system. SmoothNooz maintains the newspaper’s brand, look, layout, and
personality, but adds all the interoperability and user-centered design
of an online Rich Internet Application. It’s like reading the printed
newspaper -- only better. The user’s experience is smooth, intuitive,
natural, and easy, allowing the user to zoom in to any level, zoom out
to any level, slide from side to side, page to page, or have SmoothNooz
do it automatically.
SCC RSS Reader & Syndication Modules
The RSS Reader Module automatically
and continually retrieves and interprets new content from multiple RSS
or ATOM feed sites over the internet, extracts text and thumbnail data,
inserts it into one or more MediaServer libraries, and makes it accessible
to clients via the same sophisticated search and retrieval techniques
available for all other MediaServer content. MediaServer clients, both
MediaGrid and the web browser client, mark the inserted RSS items with
the familiar RSS icon which, when clicked, launches the RSS item using
the Link Url embedded in the RSS item. This effectively makes MediaServer
a sophisticated RSS reader, able to aggregate numerous disparate RSS
feeds into a single system offering high accessiblilty through the many
MediaServer tagging and search features.
The RSS Syndication Module creates customized
RSS feeds dynamically from changing content in MediaServer Libraries,
across libraries, or in MediaServer Projects. The module can be configured
as to number of feeds, number of items, and items meeting date and search
criteria based on MediaServer metadata. All feeds are standard RSS 2.0
compliant, compatible with the RSS support found in any standard web
browser and most common RSS Reader applications. Users can target individual
feeds directly by their url, or use the RSS Hub page that assembles
all the feeds and provides convenient redirect points. When users click
the RSS item in their readers they are redirected back to the RSS Syndication
Module, which retrieves the appropriate object from MediaServer and
presents it in a Rich Internet Application (RIA) designed specifically
for the media object.
SCC Calais Module for Data Enrichment
The SCC Calais Module interfaces SCC MediaServer systems directly to
OpenCalais, a service provided by Thomson Reuters. OpenCalais uses natural
language processing (NLP), machine learning and other techniques, to
analyze each record and extract a wide variety of entities, facts and
events from unstructured content. The SCC Calais Module makes the entire
process automatic, monitoring MediaServer libraries for newly arriving
content, for existing stored content, or for content marked for delivery
to one or more target destinations. The module also includes a Rich
Internet Application (RIA) viewer, which provides a hierarchical tree
of entities, facts, events, and social tags extracted from the record,
as well as a marked-up version of the record’s text identifying each
of the entities, facts, events and other enrichment metadata in their
actual context.
SCC Enhanced Video Support Module
The SCC Enhanced Video Support Module builds on SCC’s existing video
format support by significantly expanding the number of video formats
supported for insertion into the SCC MediaServer system. The module
includes a transcoding service that automatically transforms incoming
video files into rich media packages consisting of high def video, thumbnails,
keyframes, and proxies of varying size and resolution, ready for insertion.
The module includes a Rich Internet Application (RIA) Viewer that uses
streaming technology to provide instant playback from any point in a
video, and enabling simple point and click frame navigation from the
keyframes strip (storyboard) below the video window.)
