Solid State Logic Gravity

Gravity is a complete Content Control solution for broadcasters, offering tools for content acquisition, preparation, production, media management and monitoring.

Gravity uses the latest software and hardware technologies to provide a format and codec agnostic platform. This flexibility allows ENPS users to work in any format such as HD, SD, or streaming. The TCP/IP based system uses an industry standard SQL database to store all the content information, including user added metadata.

In addition, Gravity provides broadcasters with the reliability of fully redundant hardware elements and multiple network links to remote sites.

Supported ENPS Workflow

Ingest Placeholder Creation

ENPS users can create and name placeholders within this vendor's server into which media can later be ingested or recorded. The vendor then updates ENPS with duration and other information as the placeholder is replaced with the actual media. Placeholders can be used to create "reservations" for material rushes, rough cuts or edits - arriving via ingest applications.

Channel Assignment

This product enables ENPS users to directly assign media play-out channels from the ENPS Running Order.

Story Send

This product uses the full body of text within ENPS documents, including all media pointers and custom metadata. This product also dynamically tracks the sequence of Stories and Assignments within active ENPS Running Orders and Assignment grids.

Media Awareness

This device sends ENPS a description of the media it stores. The description contains structured metadata and a pointer to the media object. This information is used by ENPS to return media in search results. Pointers are used to link media to ENPS documents, including Stories, Running Orders and Assignments using simple drag and drop workflow.

Solid State Logic Gravity ActiveX Plug-in

This vendor provides an ActiveX plug-in for ENPS which allows users to search the media database from the ENPS user interface.
