Equiibrium has freed up the ability to view any type of media inside SharePoint with the release of a new “Instant-On” capability for its MediaRich ECM software

This creates thumbnail and multiple views of any image, video and audio file while ingesting metadata in any document library web part with a click of a button.

It provides the ability to instantly view office documents, all Adobe CS files and images, watch videos and hear audio files from over 400+ file types inside any SharePoint document library web part

Static documents and images can be viewed in detail with Unizoom, Equilibrium’s proprietary universal zoom and pan technology requiring no special plug-ins.

For video and audio, Equilibrium’s new Silverlight streaming player is utilised in combination with MediaRich to provide audio/video proxy creation and management enabling a small proxy, or the entire video to be shown in one of four pre-set resolutions.

All of the visualisation functionality is now available seamlessly in SharePoint search, including video playback, audio review and Unizoom for all documents and other media types.

“These new capabilities are a rules changer for the SharePoint community,” said Sean Barger, CEO of Equilibrium, “Companies seeking to increase SharePoint adoption, accelerate collaboration and workflow approvals or need to simply find, view and prepare content, can now have a great experience in any SharePoint workspace and from any smart device with MediaRich ECM for SharePoint.”

MediaRich ECM for SharePoint connects to the SharePoint Server and automatically handles the derivative cache management reducing the constant strain of pulling files from within databases and simultaneously providing just-in-time content preparation eliminating the need to pre-process multiple versions of files in advance.

In 4.2 the media asset management capabilities have been expanded to enable batch metadata enhancement during any upload into SharePoint, providing the ability to append or replace metadata into any field in large groups of files during the upload process. New features include, forms based authentication support and the addition of the MediaRich content type, centralising extracted IPTC, EXIF and Adobe XMP metadata which is saved into the SQL Server.

MediaRich ECM for SharePoint version 4.2 is available for Windows SharePoint Services, SharePoint Foundation, SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010.
