How many media files into the system of the average digital signature? Well, that's hard to say. It depends, of course, the size of the network and number of messages that run, but considering how the typical playlist of digital signature is created, you will see that the number of media assets media can easily reach hundreds or even thousands. A file management system is essential to monitor each and every one.
Management digital asset (DAM)
A creator of digital signage has different assets and resources combine to create a playlist. A recent Digital Signage Today guide playlists compared notes on a musical staff, with each note is a media file, and the collection of notes on the staff which constitute the playlist.
To understand the challenge of content management, taking into account the many files that the creators of signaling working with digital MPEG and AVI, Flash or other animation, still images and graphics, fonts, HTML and messages in many forms, including plain text crawls and scrolls. Individual case management of each of these files is only the beginning. These files into playlists that appear in different types screen through a wide network. Each implementation of digital signatures may require different versions of the same file for portrait and landscape orientations, and for any number of screen sizes of 15 small screens from 60 inches to big-inch screens.
Content management is a problem for companies of all sizes and in all sectors. The creators of content, technical writers to graphic designers to publishers of digital signage, you can write much about the content management systems they have developed to handle the large number of files they produce.
As these designers will tell you, there are three elements Key to the success of any content management system – a powerful tool for content management, metadata and the strict conventions filename.
Of course, the simplest and most commonly used analogy of computer files is that of a library. If your files are a library, the content management system is the tool that created the classification system. In digital signage applications, this system is called digital asset management (DAM) software. The DAM controls access to media assets and helps to define workflows for adding items to the "library". And just as the Dewey decimal system allows librarian to label a book for the collection of a customer can easily locate in a sea of thousands, the DAM software allows you to tag your files with the descriptors, also called metadata.
Metadata is, to be brief, data on the data. In the context of digital signage, which can be used to assign labels indicating how and where a media file to be used, perhaps by describing its resolution, orientation, or even for their content. Metadata can be as simple as a date, or as detailed as "Promo for next buy-one-get-one sale. As the number Call in a library book makes it easier for you to find, metadata makes it easier to search and find specific media files.
Of course, like any computer user will tell you, file names are of vital importance for data management. Without a consistent naming convention, files can easily be lost, either Word documents or digital media. A naming convention to be in place before any digital signage network is launched. Use attributes such as resolution, orientation, such promotion season or consistently in the file names so you can judge whether the file is is selecting the right one.
