preview, while protecting high-resolution media assets and saving valuable network
bandwidth. The browser-based interface gives end users the flexibility to access
audio, video, image, and document files from any location.

System Visionary Product Award to Focus Enhancements for the ProxSys PX-1 Production
Media Server,\" said Tom Coughlin, president of Coughlin Associates and organizer of

emerging use of metadata and is leading the way to future enhancements in working
with rich media content.\"

solution that meets their needs and HD workflows. We're honored that our efforts
were recognized by Storage Visions,\" stated Robert Caldeira, senior product manager

ever, given the staggering growth of acquired media within even the smallest
production facilities.\"
