Cisco Announces Video-Sharing Platform

Network titan Cisco has announced the launch of a media processing platform designed to simplify media sharing across device types, such as digital screens, mobile devices and PCs.


The all-in-one system offers media conversion, production and network distribution for firms wishing to deploy targeted media, with the first product to launch being the Cisco Media Experience Engine (MXE) 3000, a hardware appliance dedicated to short-cutting media processing times.



Cisco’s MXE 3000 appliance uses a so-called Windows-based configurable program dubbed a folder attendant to take in content and process it for viewing to specific devices, dependent on file type and other related job parameters. This allows automation of post-production capabilities such as video composition, authoring, watermarking, and text and image overlays, Cisco said.
