Catalog your images and movies
Mediaboard ONE creates thumbnails and
stores them in a local or a network
database. If you are using a network
database (like MySQL or PostgreSQL) to
store the catalog, you can access all
thumbnails, comments and picture/movie
information from any Mac on the network
- even with several Users at the same
time. |

images from digital cameras or memory
cards.
The new image capture module
includes professional features,
like auto-backup
and auto-renaming of images. The

application for your images to your preferred graphics editor.

Easily
Find your assets - again and again
The integrated Find feature makes
is easy to search for your Assets
using keywords, your personal rating,
file or meta data information.
If
you need to search using the same
criteria on a regular basis, you
can save your search as Smart Folder.
Every time you select the Smart Folder
the search is processed again - and due
to the SQL based data storage with tremendous
speed.

Teamwork
integrated
Working with a team on a network
or do you simply want to access your
media files from several computers?
MediaboardONE makes this easy by
integrating media servers directly
into the workflow.
Any MacOS
or Windows computer can act as a
media server by sharing a folder
over the network. Enter the access
details to the server with MediaboardONE's
preferences and the server volume
will be automatically mounted on
demand.

Intelligent
movie thumbnails
Thumbnails for images are easy - they are
simply a smaller edition of the original
image. But what do you want for movies?
The first seconds of most movies
are simply black. So no use for this.
That's why each movie thumbnail is
composed of 4 mini-thumbnails. The first
taken after 10% of the movie, the second
after 40% and so on. So you really
see what's going on in the movie. |

Store comments and
additional data
Still remembering where this great picture
was taken three years ago? Or do you
still know if you have a model release
for each person on each image and where
to look for it?
No problem with Mediaboard
ONE. Store keywords, descriptions, model
and property release information with
your images in the catalog. With the
Autofill feature it's even easier: Select
all images taken at one day/place, type
the keywords and description once and
the Autofill feature will add them to
all selected images. |

EXIF
and IPTC support
Mediaboard ONE automatically scans your
images for metadata and adds them to
the database if they are available. EXIF
support includes technical data about how the picture was taken (aperture, zoom
and flash settings, camera make and model) and the photographer or image editing
application. Additionally Adobe XMP, IPTC Core for XMP, Dublin Core and Creative
Commons metadata are processed. |

First
class MacOS X and application integration
You found your images in MediaboardONE
and want to use it with your layout
application? No need to look for
the original file on your hard disc!
Chances are very good that you can
simply drag the thumbnail from MediaboardONE
to your layout application to position
the original image!
Drag and Drop integration works with all
major graphics applications
- even with QuarkXPress
6.x if you are using JoDrop (JoDrop

Catalog your CD's
and DVD's
Ever needed to find an image or movie
stored on a backup CD or DVD? Then you
know why you really need this feature.
Select Catalog CD/DVD from the Workflow
panel and drag your CD/DVD on the workflow
panel. Mediaboard ONE catalogs all files
and remembers on which disc to look for
them. After you remove the disc you can
still view the thumbnails and comments
for all images and movies on the disc.
If you try to open it Mediaboard ONE
asks for the disc by name. So now you
know where to look for it. |

Integrated image
and movie viewer
Use the integrated image and movie viewer
to display your files. The integrated
movie viewer let's you watch your movies
in a window or in full-screen mode. Use
the aspect-ratio features in full-screen
mode to zoom your movie to use every
pixel available on your screen or view
it in 16:9 or 4:3 mode.
Additionally you can use any external
movie player and image viewer installed
on your Mac. Ctrl-Click the thumbnail
to get a list of applications that can
display your movie/image. |

Automation and Workflow
features
If you are working with images and movie
files on a daily basis, you will repeat
the same tasks over and over again. Mediaboard
ONE allows you to save time by running
pre-defined workflow's or defining your
own workflow's (Pro Edition only).
If
you want to download new images from
your camera, catalog them, upload the
original files to a network server, generate
smaller images and burn them on CD to
show them your customers - The Mediaboard
ONE Pro Edition allows you to make all
this happen with one click! And yes,
it works with Automator (available only
with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger). |

SQL
Backend
Mediaboard ONE stores thumbnail and media
data in a SQL database. You can either
specify your existing MySQL or PostgreSQL
database server as backend (support for
additional database vendors will follow)
or use the integrated Apache Derby /
IBM Cloudscape database.
This gives you the possibility to access
all your image data, keywords, etc.
with your regular SQL tools - like our
award-winning SQL4X
Manager J or any other database tool-
to create your own reports, live web
publishing and much more. |

More things to come
We are constantly enhancing MediaboardONE
to bring you the best user experience
possible. Please tell
us what you think about it
and what features you are still
missing. But please keep in mind,
this is no iPhoto replacement.
The focus of this application
is to help users with many image
and movie files (like professional
photographers, media agencies
or power users) to manage their
media assets.
Last but not least: Yes, there will be
a Windows version later this year. |
