Imagen
Imagen is a client-server system for the management of audio-visual archives and assets, and for their publication on the Web. It consists of a suite of interacting modules designed to organize and automate the ingestion, transcoding and Web distribution of film, sound and video material.
 * Back-end modules include a database, and a service manager and a storage manager, the latter two with REST and SOAP interfaces permitting integration into other applications.
 * A client interface for ingest of files, and addition of metadata, subtitles and shot-frame annotations.
 * A workflow editor for automation of process workflows (transcoding, scheduling etc.)
 * A ready-made web-template, with a user-facing side for the discovery and play-out of content, and an administrative side for management and customization of the web-site.

Orbital Enterprise Video Recording
Orbital is a live video capture recorder. It captures transport streams from DVB-S and DVB-T and Encoder sources and saves them to disk. The raw stream (including all broadcast Electronic Programming Guides and subtitle data) is stored in a rolling buffer.

Users can play back video from the buffered transport streams, edit and export the raw content as broadcast. The exported files can be used for compliance recording, in third party editors or stored in an archive.

Box of Broadcasts (BoB)
BoB is an off-air recording and media archive service, available to staff and students of member institutions of the British Universities Film & Video Council, holding an additional license. It is a partnership between Cambridge Imaging Systems, BUFVC, and The Centre for Excellence in Media Practice at Bournemouth University.

This TV scheduling service permits recording of TV and radio programmes scheduled to be broadcast over the next seven days, and retrieving of programmes from the last seven days, from a selected list of recorded channels.

A recorded program can be streamed in a Flash video in a web page. Users can watch programs from the archive, create clips, search for programs by title or keyword, and compile and share playlists.

BoB stores recorded TV and Radio programmes in an archive indefinitely. The archive currently contains over 45,000 TV and radio programmes of all genres.
