New Open API from Extensis Leverages Digital Asset Management across the Organisation

Posted on March 22, 2012 by

Northampton, UK (PRWEB UK) 1 March 2012

Extensis, a division of Celartem Inc., today unveils a preview of Portfolio Server 10.2, the latest version of the market leading digital asset management (DAM) software. With Extensis latest release, customers can catalogue additional file formats and connect their rich media assets with other business systems using Portfolio Server 10.2s new open API.

Portfolio Server helps people manage their digital media in one location, and the new API offers the same benefits but to other IT systems used throughout the organisation. Customers can integrate their graphic, video, and document assets and media processing tools within Portfolio Server with their other IT systems. These include ecommerce and content management systems, websites, intranet sites, and more. For example, images and metadata managed within Portfolio Server can be accessed from within a content management system like WordPress, or are automatically synchronised with a museums collection management system. The result is increased efficiency through streamlining and integrating DAM with other business processes and IT systems.

The new API can be implemented to generate new revenue streams from asset collections with ecommerce. According to Extensis customer Bob Hendriks, Managing Director, In Transit Images, Digital asset management is a critical element for our business at In Transit Images; our company and business model revolves around it entirely. The API delivers a crucial connection between our portal and our vast collection of high-quality photographs by leveraging the digital assets and workflow tools within Portfolio Server across our company and ecommerce website.

In addition to third party business system integration, having a wide variety of file format support is essential for the quick preview of visual files, as well as converting digital media into other formats. Portfolio Server 10.2 offers additional file format support, including more professional video formats like DivX, XDCAM, AVC-Intra, AVCHD, and DNxHD, as well as support for searching for OCR text within PDF documents.

Australian video production agency 50 Kaliber Films relies on Portfolio Servers file format support to catalogue video, graphic, and document formats. Evan Butson, CTO, 50 Kaliber Films noted, Migrating to Portfolio Server 10.2 from our existing DAM has not only allowed us to speed up our existing workflows, but with the added functionality and wide range of supported formats, allowed us to expand the range of services we offer.

Extensis is building on its legacy of delivering DAM solutions and professional services that help companies improve efficiency and productivity within a matter of days. In 2011, Extensis released Portfolio Server 10, delivering comprehensive iPad, tablet and video support that enabled customers to access digital assets on demand and migrate from legacy systems like Apple Final Cut Server. Portfolio Server 10.2 takes this to the next level by allowing customers to catalogue anything, find everything and integrate across systems.

Customers want assurance that their investment in DAM can be leveraged in many ways- now and in the future, said Davin Kluttz, Senior Product Manager at Extensis. The advanced file support and new API in Portfolio Server 10.2 offer customers immediate gains in efficiency, and sustaining benefits as they look to integrate DAM functionality with other business systems.

Pricing and Availability

The Portfolio Server 10.2 update will be available in spring 2012 and will be free for all Portfolio Server 10 customers. For more information about Portfolio Server 10.2 and to download a free trial, visit http://www.extensis.com/p102

We hope that by providing a cash incentive, those associations who have been waiting to act will determine the time to act is now.

A hoa website from HOAConnections provides homeowner associations with a standard set of features: homeowner forums, association documents (declarations, bylaws, rules and regulations, rental agreements, etc.) posted with downloadable PDF versions, calendar of events, photo and video galleries, as well as survey, questionnaire and polls to interact with the associations membership.

New Education about Motorcycle Dry Eye – Sunglasses Are Not Enough

Posted on February 29, 2012 by


Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) February 13, 2012

Sharon Kleyne, Founder of Bio Logic Aqua Research and host of the Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water, has been researching the subject of dry eye for two decades. Mrs. Kleyne is well aware of the dry eye and eye irritation experienced by motorcyclists and ATV riders (a condition known as “motorcycle dry eye”). The Medical Director of Mrs. Kleyne’s Bio-Logic Aqua Research Center, Philip Paden, MD, is an ophthalmologist and former professional motorcycle racer, who has been riding for 40 years and is an authority on motorcycle eye protection and motorcycle dry eye.

The wind in your face! It’s a major reason some people ride motorcycles and many riders are disinclined to do too much to block the wind, beyond wearing eye protection such as sunglasses or face shields (to block wind, bugs and flying rocks).

According to Sharon Kleyne and Dr. Paden, because of wind, solar radiation, exhaust fumes and other factors, motorcycle riding can be extremely dehydrating and to the eyes – even with sunglasses and face shields.

The cause of motorcycle dry eye (or any other dry eye) is too-rapid evaporation of moisture (water) from the eye’s tear film. This could result from (among other things) alcohol and drug consumption (including many medications), pollen, dust, cigarette smoke, air pollution, extreme heat or cold, high elevation, solar radiation, road glare, low humidity, exhaust fumes, not drinking enough water, and WIND IN YOUR FACE! Wind is more drying to the eyes when other factors are also present (for example, if you’ve recently been drinking beer in a smoke-filled bar).

Dry eye symptoms include eye discomfort, burning and itching eyes, blurred vision, headache, eye fatigue, and watery eyes.

Sharon Kleyne and Dr. Paden have the following eye care and eye protection suggestions for motorcyclists and ATV riders:

*Drink 8 to 12 glasses of water a day. Lukewarm water is less likely to make you have to go to the bathroom.

*Apply cold, wet eye compresses after riding, to soothe eye irritation and wash out irritants.

*Take frequent rests stops in which you close your eyes for a few minutes.

*Use eye protection such as face shields and sunglasses (they recommend BOTH!). Road glare and solar radiation are extremely dehydrating and sunglasses help a lot. Face shields trap moisture from your breath to help keep eyes hydrated.

*Avoid cigarette smoke and alcohol.

*Take a long, steamy bath when you get home.

*Avoid rubbing your eyes when they are tired or irritated.

*Don’t forget to blink while you ride (20 to 30 blinks a minute is normal but the intense concentration or motorcycle riding can drop this to 3 or 4 times a minute).

*Carry an all-natural, pure water eye wash or eye mist.

Researchers have long known that the simplest and most natural way to soothe dry eyes is to add two-to-five millionths of a liter (micro-liters) of water to the tear film’s aqueous layer. A commercially viable method of administering water to the tear film in such minute quantities was discovered in 1999. That’s the year that Sharon Kleyne’s Bio-Logic Aqua Research Center developed Nature’s Tears
