Asset Management
Xytech’s new MetaVault MAM (Media Asset Management system) provides a complete content backbone for the creation and storage of files, proxies and metadata. This new
functionality makes integrating multiple MAMs, including those from other vendors, into a comprehensive, federated solution a reality.
