NOA Upgrades jobDB

NOA Audio Solutions VertriebsgmbH, provider of audio archiving systems, announced jobDB 3.0, an upgrade to its jobDB workflow creation tool for ingesting, reshaping, and analyzing media during archiving, retranscoding, or other complex business processes.

The upgrade gives users of NOA’s ingestLINE and actLINE platforms greater flexibility in setting up individual workflows, as well as support of nearly all actLINE modules. The result is reduced cost of workflow setup and execution, and improved workflow quality.

jobDB 3.0 boasts several improvements
over the previous version, including:

• a multiple retranscoding capability, whereby the output of one process can be fed to the input of the next;
• an increase in output file types from the MediaButler module;
• the ability to connect to the new WaveScanner, FileCollector, and FolderScanner Uniport modules; and
• the ability to connect all actLINE modules to jobDB to enable design of multiple chains of subsequent file processing including de-hissing and de-clicking with CEDAR modules.

"jobDB was designed to bring all the scalability and efficiency of automated processes to the environments where media asset management already exists," said Jean-Christophe Kummer, NOA Audio Solutions CEO. "It allows archivists and service providers who use our ingestLINE and actLINE products to create grid-based workflows that greatly simplify the process of working with files, and that are scalable from one to many human operators or automated machines."

With the new version of jobDB 3.0, users receive an upgrade of their database server installations, a new jobDB ControlCenter GUI, a new ProcessorHost, and upgrades of existing actLINE and ingestLINE applications to allow for the new infrastructure features.

jobDB 3.0 is shipping.
