NOA Expands Offering With actLINE Product Suite

NOA Audio Solutions VertriebsgmbH, provider of functional and audio archiving systems, announced actLINE, a new product line that works with its existing jobDB and mediARC systems.

actLINE gives users a set of tools that allows them to reshape content during the archiving process.

The actLINE software family contains 12 tools for triggering workflows, moving files among workflows, decoding and transcoding files, recombining segmented archives, and more – all while integrating with the jobDB workflow system and the mediARC workflow, media, and metadata system.

For example, UniPort WaveScanner is a universal decoder that converts a variety of audio files to wave files. The MediaButler transcoding platform retranscodes files from linear format to many other formats. The Uniport WaveScanner and MediaButler tools work together to retranscode a file and integrate it into the workflow system.

"actLINE extends the effectiveness and power of our existing systems," said Jean-Christophe Kummer, NOA managing partner. "Instead of using a combination of products from different vendors, customers can perform all of the functions with one integrated system from a single service console, which helps save time, ensure compatibility, and lower costs."

Besides UniPort WaveScanner and MediaButler, actLINE includes the following tools: AutoCut, CEDAR Dehiss for NOA, CEDAR Declick for NOA, Dactylo, CLIP, DBScripter, eMailer, UniPort FolderScanner, UniPort FileCollector, and the Service Console.

All actLINE tools for the mediARC platform are available. Some tools will be available for the jobDB platform later in 2011.
