Extron Electronics has introduced Entwine EMP, a tightly-integrated end-to-end software solution that facilitates the capture, management, and playback of media files from meetings, lectures, and other live events. With Entwine EMP, previously recorded media files can be added to the system, ensuring current as well as archived recordings are accessible from a single platform. Content is catalogued and optimised for distribution Video On Demand (VOD) playback, and management of content and devices across the entire enterprise is provided by a dedicated administrative dashboard. Students and end-users access scheduled or ad hoc recorded media through a customizable user portal or through a Learning Management System (LMS).

“Extron’s new Entwine EMP will handle all aspects of media management, from capture to scheduling, user and device management, processing, and playback. We’re creating a truly comprehensive end-to-end solution for lecture capture applications,” says vice president of sales and marketing for Extron Casey Hall.

Extron’s Entwine EMP works seamlessly with Extron SMP 351 Series Streaming Media Processors to record and process content. Content management features allow cataloguing, searching, and editing across a host of media file formats using Entwine EMP’s administrative or user portal, saving time and effort. Integration with various external databases such as LDAP/AD, makes it easy to create and manage user groups and role management. Entwine EMP can also edit and enhance videos, including trimming, splitting, combining, and adding closed captioning.
