SeaChange – Universal MediaLibrary

The SeaChange Universal MediaLibrary (UML) is an enterprise-class server infrastructure that offers simple-to-manage, open storage to enable broadcasters to economically deploy and expand their operations. As an open storage solution, the UML offers unmatched scalability, density, and reliability. Beyond storage, the UML's highly versatile system design provides a multitude of capabilities that combine to make it a cost-effective choice.

The UML can serve as a play-to-air server and as a production storage for today’s most popular non-linear editors. Furthermore, the UML can be segmented into multiple partitions with each part supporting a different workflow demand. The UML supports SeaChange’s edit-in-place feature, which allows editors to access program content that is being ingested into the production storage. The UML is a key efficiency driver for broadcasters to optimize their file-based workflows like never before. The UML core storage technology can be paired with SeaChange MediaClient codecs or standalone edge servers to meet the most demanding broadcast environments.
