Services to Optimize your Cerify® System

CerifyThe video production world is changing quickly, and it's generating many external factors that impact the quality of video content you receive. You're faced with the increased complexity and variety of available technologies, training and daily use of more sophisticated instruments (and the knowledge and resources to manage them). How much time and energy would you save if you could simplify your content management processes while improving the overall transmission quality of your broadcasts?

Efficient video content management depends on four interdependent factors:

The new Cerify system addresses each of these factors by integrating three new product components with custom system design, installation, and support services:

  • Design
  • Install
  • Support

Pre-configuration architectural assessments ensure your Cerify system is tailored to fit your environment and exact needs. The architectural review includes an assessment of your current configuration of file servers and video network servers, including:

  • Your desired configuration of file servers and video network servers after integration of the Cerify system
  • The requirements for identification and prioritization of multiple content types and formats
  • Requirements for automated alerts
  • Your company network security model and requirements
  • The physical location for Cerify hardware including your mounting and accessibility requirements
  • Power, network, and environmental conditions available for the Cerify system


Additional support features are available as needed, and can be added to your package at any time.
