We’re delighted to announce that axle 2017, our next-gen radically simple media management tool, is now shipping.  It represents a full year of work on scalability, system stability and new features.  We’re seeing axle deployed in an even wider variety of sites (over 400 in all, including corporate, religious, university, sports, broadcast, and postproduction customers).

Highlights include:

• support for over 2 million assets in a single database

• new metadata field types and expanded metadata panel size

• optional Advanced Transcode module replaces Telestream Episode Pro and Engine

• optional Softron MovieRecorder integration for realtime ingest monitoring

• optional cloud archiving – this module allows archiving to most major services, including Backblaze, Wasabi, Amazon and Microsoft

• optional mirrored cloud deployment for external review and approval
