SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEDIA MANAGEMENT

摘要

A method of managing data for transmission in a media management system comprising a data storage device (130) and a transmission system (119) is described. The method comprises identifying data in the data storage device (130) relating to a transmission by a transmission device (114); defining a scheduled transmission time for the transmission; determining a transfer time based on the scheduled transmission time and loading data from the data storage device (130) into the transmission device (114) at the transfer time. In this way, a reduction in the storage capacity required at the transmission device (114) can be achieved. Further examples describe the use of a router (112) for routing communications between a media editing system (121) and the transmission system (119).
