Solid State Logic Company presented the debut of its Gravity Web Mobile application at InfoComm 2010. A Web-based interface to the entire Gravity archive and production management solution, Gravity Web Mobile makes office and production management possible wherever there is a mobile network.
‘We designed Gravity Web Mobile as a mobile-sized version of our Cross Platform Web app, with virtually all the same features found in the Gravity Media Asset Management systems used for live news, media production, education, corporate and government applications, including the Gravity Web and LAN browsers,’ says Shaun McTernan, SSL DV Marketing Director. ‘Gravity Web Mobile is ideal for today’s multiplatform production environment, which often requires producers, directors, editors and other staff members to have access to their facility’s entire audio and video archive at their fingertips, even if they are working remotely from the main studio. It is currently compatible with iPhone, BlackBerry, Palm devices, and with Windows 6.x and Symbian-based mobile devices on a 3G or 4G network, making it accessible for most mobile devices and phones.’
In addition to Search, Browse and Play, users can also select and bookmark clips, from their mobile devices. Clips can also be imported from a mobile device to the Gravity MAM system, as most MP4-based phone video formats are native to Gravity for import. To upload other formats from laptop storage, users connect the Gravity Web Mobile-enabled device to a laptop – for example, allowing a reporter in the field to submit stories directly to the home newsroom system.
Gravity Web Mobile also supports command and control of the Gravity system. Administrators can get information on system status via mobile devices or phones, while programme and scheduling personnel can use the schedule-review page to review the current transmission schedule or to insert new schedule elements to be recorded. All input from the mobile application is directly inserted into the system database, allowing multiple users to collaborate on the same media.
