6. Workflow Management Ingest Processing Storage Discovery & Delivery

7. Key DAM Requirements • • • • • • • Ingest Metadata extraction Create renditions Build the catalog Enable rich search Manage storage lifecycle Provide efficient delivery of media assets

10. Why Scalable? • Increasing volume, variety, velocity – Collectors, cameras, sensors and sources • Ex: UGC, raw source, Mezzanine, B-roll, creative collateral • Final content – Formats and standards • Transport, containers, codecs, metadata • SD, HD, 4K …. 8K – Devices and user expectations • Opportunities through cloud enablement – Media platform as a service – Multitenancy

11. What about Search? Ugh … • Core elements – Project, keyword, asset name, tags, date/time capture, timecode range, subject, format, size • Extended structured search – Dublin core, XMP, MPEG-7, IPTC, EXIF, FCXML, SMPTE, MISB • Unstructured search – Comments, notes, transcript, closed captioning

12. Enough Theory … Let’s Build a DAM in the Cloud!

23. Catalog: A word on why DynamoDB Container-A Header NoSQL Data Model Layer-2 Core Elem1 Core Elem2 Elem from A Name_A Size Some_Field Name_B Size Name_C Layer-1 Size Container-B Header Container-C Layer-1 Header Layer-2 Elem from B Some_Field

24. Catalog: A Word on Why CloudSearch • Video and text – Header fields with textual descriptions, synopsis, comments – Tracks with speech to text, closed caption data – Links to scripts • Video and structured elements – XMP dynamic media – Sidecar files • A managed search engine dedicated to these kinds of problems – Case folding, stemming, stopword removal, synonyms – Also accent normalization, UTF-8 normalization, etc.

25. Other Goodies • Back-end services – AWS CLI – Open source decode utilities • EXIFtool • MediaInfo – ETL support • Talend (representative) • Front-end services – Node.js + AWS Node SDK

28. (Dual Screen) Walkthrough

29. Setup • Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) buckets ready to go – External staging locations – Internal working locations • Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) + Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) wired up • Catalog data models established – Amazon DynamoDB table “catalog” created – Amazon CloudSearch search domain “catalog” created

30. 1. Ingest, Crawl, Notify a. b. c. d. End user initiates data copy EC2 worker scans Amazon S3 staging bucket EC2 worker copies or moves content EC2 worker broadcasts “NEW DATA” event

36. 1. Ingest, Crawl, Notify a. b. c. d. End user initiates data copy EC2 worker scans Amazon S3 staging bucket EC2 worker copies or moves content EC2 worker broadcasts “NEW DATA” event (SNS)

37. 2. Metadata Extraction a. EC2 worker polls inbox (SQS) b. EC2 worker pulls down media asset from Amazon S3 c. EC2 worker parses media files d. EC2 worker pumps metadata through ETL flow to prepare for catalog insertion e. EC2 worker inserts into catalog (Amazon DynamoDB)

40. 2. Metadata Extraction a. EC2 worker polls inbox (SQS) b. EC2 worker pulls down media asset from Amazon S3 c. EC2 worker parses media files d. EC2 worker pumps metadata through ETL flow to prepare for catalog insertion e. EC2 worker inserts into catalog (Amazon DynamoDB)

41. Preparing for Amazon DynamoDB Insert { "COMPLETE_NAME" : { "S" : "01_01_SoccerF_05_A.mp4" }, "FORMAT" : { "S" : "MPEG-4" }, "CODEC_ID" : { "S" : "mp42" } }

42. Model It and Deploy to EC2! (Talend)

43. 3. Catalog Processing a. Store metadata record in Amazon DynamoDB b. Reflect searchable subset to Amazon CloudSearch c. Go crazy (HTTP GET)

46. Querying the Catalog (Amazon CloudSearch) • http://cloudsearch.demo.aws.com/2011-0201/search?bq=complete_name : …<field=value> • In Node.js var optionsget host : port : path : = { 'cloudsearch.demo.aws.com', // here only the domain name 80, '/2011-02-01/search?bq=complete_name:'-STRAWBERRY'& return-fields=complete_name,text_relevance,codec_id_info, duration,file_size, duration,encoded_date', method : 'GET' }

47. Customer Case Study (PBS)

48. Merlin: PBS CMS/DAM • Code name Merlin • Structured metadata • 200+ web object records daily – 29,046 web objects • 150+ Video objects daily – 91,436 videos • Users from over 150 stations 30 national producers – Frontline – Downton Abbey – PBS Newshour

49. What’s It Do? • Large multitenant system – 1200 registered users • 250 million streams per month • 20 million unique viewers • 8 PB of video delivered monthly

50. Getting Data In • 33 ingestible web feeds – Content editors – Web page listings • Batch video ingest API – Video content editors – External workflow integration • Manually entered videos – Video content editors from all 50 states – Number of user accounts

51. System Overview User Input Ingest API Amazon CloudSearch Search Util DAM (Merlin) Workflow Service Content API Amazon SWF RSS Amazon RDS Amazon S3 CDN Amazon RDS

52. Basic Workflow • Object registered with Merlin • Images registered and processed with ITS – Stored in CDN fronted Amazon S3 bucket • Videos registered with VTS – Jobs sent to Zencoder for processing – Video stored in CDN fronted Amazon S3 bucket • Objects ready for clients – Objects rendered for consumption in Amazon S3 – Objects registered with APIs – Objects discoverable

53. Making It Discoverable • Search util service • Runs every hour – Re-indexes last several hours each time • Polls APIs – Content API – Modified time • Updates Amazon CloudSearch index – 2 primary indexes

54. Search Considerations • Hidden objects • Rights management • Partitioned search – Local station search – Results by geo – Restrict results for international customers • Unify and normalize existing APIs – Flatten data model • Users looking for programs – Specific searches – Suitable for structured data

55. Challenges • No native time field – Convert dates to integers – Epoch time • Versioning of documents – Epoch for versioning • Exposing two versions of most fields – Text searchable – Facets (copy of text version)

56. Search Consumers (PBS.org) Site Search

57. Search Consumers (Video Portal) Site Search Programs A-Z

58. Xbox / OTT
