Switch Media helps to create a user-friendly RMIT video service to capture, publish and edit digital media content.

Delivering video content to enhance research, learning and educational activities.

Multi-platform video specialists Switch Media today announced it has partnered with RMIT Publishing to support the development, delivery and operation of the RMIT video service Informit EduTV.

RMIT Publishing is the leading provider of online research specialising in content from Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific region. Through its Informit brand of online databases and search platforms, RMIT Publishing makes it easy for students and teachers to search, research and discover the content they need to get better results.

Switch Media’s role in delivering the service was to provide RMIT Publishing with a complete workflow solution, IP head-end and a friendly user experience designed specifically to deliver the required functionality.

The service utilises Switch Media’s cloud based video content management system, the Switch Media Manager, to provide transcoding, clip creation, storage, metadata management and user authentication.

Switch also provided advanced player functionality which includes a simple four step process to provide users with the ability to easily create clips, merge video materials, upload files and share their completed play lists as projects.
