Harmony is a comprehensive Digital Asset Management solution designed specifically to capture, store, organize, index and protect large collections of various types of digital media in both enterprise and tactical environments. With the consistent expansion and constant breakthroughs in digital technologies, organizations are quickly amassing extremely large collections of digital media that can become either unmanageable or extremely labor intensive to keep up with. Harmony’s design takes into account the problems associated with storing large amounts of media and employs industry proven hardware and software components to overcome these obstacles and create a comprehensive system capable of storing and managing media over its entire life cycle.


Our Harmony solution was designed from the ground up to address asset sustainability and provide a searchable, protected environment for digital media to exist during its lifecycle. It’s hardware is completely redundant so that no single point of failure exists and its software is designed to make ingesting, converting, indexing, securing and replicating media as automated and simple as possible. The true power of Harmony is in its flexibility to incorporate optional components to suit an organizations business requirements, however, the below in an overview of Harmony’s standard capabilities presented in the order of a typical assets life cycle. Live Video Capture and Encode A hardware video Transcoder card is incorporated in to the systems design allowing it to capture and encode two standard or high definition live video and audio streams simultaneously per card.

Media can be ingested into the system in many different ways including, but not limited to, capturing live video, connecting a digital camera or device directly to media ingestion interface, over the network, shared folders, FTP or off of existing media such as a CD or DVD.

Pictures and videos can be converted from various formats at the point of ingestion to an agreed upon image of video standard to facilitate uniformity and standardization within your media collection.

The Harmony system utilizes software to constantly poll a designated “Watch Folder” for new media. When a new asset is found, the metadata embedded with in the asset will be inserted in to a database and indexed. Because only the metadata is inserted in to the database and not the media itself, the database remains small and searches remain quick and efficient. Assets are organized both by physical location and logical relevance.

Keywords derived from the organizational folder structure of where the asset was found will be assigned to that particular asset to facilitate future searches for that asset. For example, if a new asset was found in the following folder: C:\Watch.Root\Photos\Army\2010\Iraq\Tikrit\030310, the asset would be tagged with the keywords Watch.Root, Army, 2010, Iraq, Tikrit and 030310 automatically.

Harmony contains a software component which interacts with its database to publish either all of your assets or a designated subset of your assets to a customizable website which can then be available internal to your organization or externally for the general public. It can also send assets via email or master a CD/DVD from within the media management software.

Although Harmony can be completely managed from the server, many times users would prefer to work from their workstations or desks. Desktop client software is provided for team members who are charged with managing or working with the media hosted on the Harmony system, allowing many users to connect and work with assets simultaneously.

Although Harmony’s architecture was designed with redundancy in mind to protect media from hardware failure, sometimes organizations have more stringent information security policies that require offsite storage to protect against regional disasters and guarantee up time. The storage component of Harmony comes with an enterprise grade volume replication options to facilitate on demand as well as scheduled replication.

The storage component of Harmony offers both on-demand and schedulable snapshots which lock down data in its current status and then record changes from that point on. This feature allows for nearly instantaneous back.

Qt Quiet technology audio solutions ensure privacy and reduce distractions in virtually any workspace. Sound masking is an unobtrusive airflow like sound added to a space to reduce the intelligibility of distracting or confedential conversations. Applications are available for work environments of any size from large, multibuilding campuses to modest satellite offices. Paging and music are integrated with sound masking, making this a 3-in-1 technology.

Qt Quiet technology is the only 4 channel sound masking system on today’s market. The system comprises four entirely separate incoherent channels all the way from digital generating source to emitters (loudspeakers). Four channels accurately simulate the turbulent air eddies characteristic of HVAC system air movement sound generation. This allows the system to sound entirely natural and unobtrusive. Users are not subjected to the harsh sound quality due to acoustical interference effects caused by adjacent coherent radiators so common with plenum based masking systems.
