4 Education Content management/ delivery arrangement PDF W X P Lecture document/data Lecture room Remote lecture at extension campus On Demand Browsing, library, etc. Nowadays, the classroom is not the only place where students receive education. Although distance learning via satellite and delivery of recorded video lectures are alternative ways to learn, they have key drawbacks, such as their high cost of operation and time consuming processes. With the OPSIGATE system, lectures, lesson videos, and supporting data files can be viewed on a standard web browser by the student at their convenience, as many times as they like. Furthermore, those video lectures can be shared with other educational institutions located anywhere. This capability will help broaden the student base, as well as enhance the effectiveness of self-learning. Furthermore, the OPSIGATE system makes it easy for institutions to construct comprehensive library of video files and supporting PC documents that s easy to manage and maintain. Key features Maximizes the efficiency of distance learning with easily accessible video and PC content Consolidated, easy management and sharing of content files in various forms Improved workflow from file registration through to content delivery Benefits Requires less cost, time and space requirements, compared to a conventional packaged media system Offers an easier and better way of maintaining and updating archived material and associated information Students can catch up on missed classes and lectures thanks to easy web-based content viewing Health care Investigation Diagnosis Visual record Research Surgical operation Content management/ delivery arrangement Lecture presentation Record viewing Visual content has proven very informative for education, training, research, and investigation in the medical profession. A video of a rare surgical operation or a complex scientific experiment that can be viewed by doctors, nurses, and trainees/students can be invaluable. However, organizing such a content inventory and building such a video archive presents many issues to the institution and its staff, such as requirements for physical space, time, cost, system management, and technical complexity of the system. The OPSIGATE system streamlines the series of those tasks and improves the handling of visual information. By storing visual records and related documents or data in a uniform library and managing the archive with metadata, the OPSIGATE system allows doctors, medical students, or authorized users to instantly browse and download, if necessary, the stored content on their terminal. The OPSIGATE system can therefore reduce the burden on the medical library management, while enhancing the usage of valuable assets. Key features Effective way to share and view visual records and documents Straightforward library management and administration with high operating efficiency Improved cost, space, and time saving Benefits The web-based browser interface gives authorized viewers instant access to the desired visual record without having to install any client software The integrated content management and delivery system reduces the time and manpower needed for management of the digital library, and allows information assets to be utilized and updated in a controlled manner NOTE: System integration may be required depending on the application needs. 4

5 What is OPSIGATE? The OPSIGATE system is a comprehensive web-based content management and delivery system that helps to organize and distribute various forms of digital content (such as video, still images, audio files, and PC documents) from a single manageable database. The original file format of all content remains unchanged when registered, and content metadata can be used to aid search operations. Plus, low-resolution proxy data is automatically created at the time of video-file registration, enabling quick and easy content preview. The stored content can be accessed and viewed via a web browser, making it possible to share and view various information without the need to install additional client software. As a result, the OPSIGATE solution offers an effective way to handle your information assets.
