"The Digital Center stands out in the industry because it enables users to upload their own multimedia content through a user-friendly platform on which they can more nimbly and efficiently manage their multimedia assets," said Bev Yehuda, vice president, Products, MultiVu. "As more organizations create digital content, there is an increasing need for multimedia portals to archive, manage and make that information available, 24/7, to anyone, anywhere in a format that is easy to download. With The Digital Center's online platform, storing, sharing and distributing multimedia materials is a seamless process. It helps organizations to fully maximize their existing assets and make them readily available to media and consumer audiences."

MultiVu's Digital Center operates as a single online management system through which users can archive assets such as videos, photos and logos and easily make this content available to media and consumer audiences around the world. Another important attribute of MultiVu's Digital Center include the ability to download content in multiple formats that cater to journalists in the US and Internationally, and the unique ability to distribute an advisory to PR Newswire's vast communications network reaching thousands of media points and Web sites, and to the tens of thousands of members of PR Newswire for Journalists each time new content is uploaded.

The Digital Center offers a variety of public and password-protected distribution channels, including direct download capabilities for pre-screened and registered media, bloggers and websites. In addition to its archiving and distribution functions, The Digital Center promotes direct, one-on-one engagement through an optional comment and rating system that enables consumer and media to provide feedback on videos and other promotional materials. The Digital Center also offers reporting and tracking capabilities, such as the number of times a video is streamed and information on the media outlets that download full digital files.

Yehuda continued, "From content management to media distribution to engagement and reporting, the breadth and depth of The Digital Center is unparalleled."

The Digital Center is available with video archiving packages of 30, 60 or 90 minutes. Users can upload existing footage or enlist MultiVu to produce new video, audio or other multimedia assets. Videos produced through MultiVu receive unlimited storage and do not count towards the minutes in a package. The system supports MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 downloadable files, NTSC and PAL, and SD and HD.

MultiVu has also launched the Global Digital Center which provides a platform for customers worldwide to archive and share all of their video and multimedia content with global audiences.
