PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE

KEEP HIGH RESOLUTION LOCAL
KEEP PRODUCTION MOVING

Production storage exists to keep editors fast. Media Bridge keeps high resolution assets on that storage, then syncs proxies and metadata to Orange Logic so it can be searched, previewed, and governed without relocating the originals.

  • Protect editing performance. Keep active media on the local infrastructure built for demanding production.
  • Preserve the workflow. Continue working from the folders, paths, and tools your teams already rely on.
  • Connect media without migrating it. Bring existing content into Orange Logic search and governance while the high resolution originals stay in place.

Footage stays on fast local storage for active work, connected to Orange Logic the whole time.

CONNECTED MEDIA

STOP LOSING FOOTAGE
TO STORAGE SILOS

Footage cannot be reused if teams do not know it exists. Orange Logic brings proxies and metadata from connected storage together so teams can discover and preview media across projects, locations, and storage environments.

  • Search across locations. Find footage in one experience whether it lives on local production storage or in the cloud.
  • Preview before pulling high res. See available footage before anyone needs to access or transfer the high resolution original.
  • Reuse before recreating. Help producers, marketers, and other teams uncover existing footage before shooting or commissioning something new.

Turn media spread across storage into footage teams can easily find and reuse.

AI + AGENTS

TURN MEDIA INTELLIGENCE
INTO ACTION

Connecting the media across hybrid storage is only the beginning. AI helps teams understand what is inside it, while agents move repetitive work forward.

  • Find and understand footage. Search speech, people, objects, scenes, and concepts instead of depending on filenames alone.
  • Enrich media automatically. Add useful context and metadata without asking production teams to tag everything by hand.
  • Let agents move the work. Use governed agents to support repeatable tasks and content workflows around connected media.

Spend less time managing the library and more time getting value from the media in it.

GOVERNED MEDIA ACCESS

ACCESS OPENS UP
CONTROL STAYS TIGHT

Not every team needs the same access to the same footage. Orange Logic keeps permissions and context connected across on-premise production storage, cloud storage, and every stage of the content lifecycle.

  • Give each team the right access. Let teams see and use only the footage appropriate to their role.
  • Carry context with the footage. Metadata, permissions, versions, and workflows stay connected as content moves across storage environments.
  • Put AI inside the same controls. AI and agents operate within the permissions, metadata, and workflows that govern the rest of the DAM or MAM.

Provide the right access to footage without loosening the controls around it.

MEDIA LIFECYCLE

WHEN THE PROJECT WRAPS
LET THE MEDIA MOVE

The storage that makes sense during production may not make sense once the work is done. Completed projects can move into the cloud, where Adaptive Storage shifts media across hot, cold, and archive tiers as access patterns change.

  • Prioritize active work. Give production the local performance it needs while a project is still in progress.
  • Move completed work automatically. Use workflow triggers to shift selected media to managed cloud storage when projects reach the right stage.
  • Lower cost as content cools. Move media to more efficient storage tiers while keeping it searchable, governed, and available when needed.

Production gets full speed while it needs it. The business gets better storage economics when it does not.

HYBRID STORAGE FAQs

How is Media Bridge different from a storage gateway or file sync tool?

Media Bridge does more than make files reachable. It brings media from connected storage into the Orange Logic DAM experience with proxies, metadata, search, permissions, versioning, and governance while the high resolution originals remain on the storage that production already uses. That makes Media Bridge part of a broader hybrid cloud storage approach rather than simply a file transport layer.

What actually gets sent from local storage to Orange Logic?

Media Bridge scans connected storage, extracts metadata, and generates lightweight proxy representations locally. The proxies and metadata are synchronized to Orange Logic while the high resolution original remains on the customer’s storage.

What happens when a file changes on local storage?

Media Bridge detects changes on connected storage and updates the corresponding information in Orange Logic. When a file is modified, its proxy and technical metadata is refreshed and the change is reflected in version history.

What happens if footage is moved, renamed, or deleted?

The local file system remains the source of truth for where the file lives. Moves and renames are reflected in Orange Logic, while a deleted original retains its DAM record and proxy so teams do not lose the metadata and history associated with it.

How does Media Bridge handle duplicate media?

Media Bridge identifies matching file content across connected storage rather than automatically creating another independent asset record. If the content itself changes, Orange Logic preserves that change as a new version or related asset state instead.

What infrastructure is needed to connect on premise storage?

Media Bridge uses lightweight local services that need network access to the storage being connected. The environment needs a host capable of running those services and reading the relevant NAS, SAN, or mounted storage paths.

What is the difference between Media Bridge and Adaptive Storage?

Media Bridge connects media that remains on external or local production storage to Orange Logic. Adaptive Storage manages content within the Orange Logic storage environment across hot, cold, and archive tiers as its usage and lifecycle change. Together, they support a hybrid model that spans active production through long term storage.
