VIDEO-CONTENT-MANAGER | VCM

CommScope’s Video Content Manager (VCM) is a field-hardened, highly configurable, purpose-built system that optimizes content operations and enables efficient management of the diverse catalogs necessary to provide customers with a superior video storefront experience.

• VCM optimizes ingest, normalization, and distribution processing by using rules, auto resolutions, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
• VCM includes well-established integrations to many systems that handle media transfer, ingestion, analysis, transcoding, quality control checks, packaging, archive, and distribution. New integrations can be quickly added.
