Omega is a tool for producers, sales agents, or anyone managing or saving film data. Omega creates a centralized location to safely store all title metadata, contracts, photos, videos, and other assets and easily integrates with delivery systems to platforms, automating pre-approved standardized data delivery in multiple formats, including textual data, statistical data, language variables, audio, video and still components in multiple formats, specs and ratios. Omega is currently used by distributors and producers alike, was fully developed by the Inqubator team, and is currently its most valuable sublicensable intellectual property. Previously used by companies such as Anderson and Alchemy.
Inqubator Team was retained to observe current workflow and data sourcing for the DVD/Blu Ray section of the online store, and consult on improvement suggestions to workflow specifically targeting timeliness of data updates, sourcing choices, with solution towards automation and integration of data transitions between studios and data storage backend feed into online storefront. Data range included price changes, sku updates, art and metadata delivery, additions and deletions. Inqubator proposed improvements to timeliness and implement of automation into workflow processes, contributing to a significant reduction in cost.
Inqubator created The Hive as an orchestration tool, originally designed to help automate workflows critical to high velocity film distribution teams. It does this by offering a visual workflow environment utilizing pre-built blocks of functionality, that allow the constant updating of automated processes without the need of a software developer.
We worked directly with Deluxe Entertainment, to make the Hive the first 3rd party tool to integrate directly with their proprietary video transcoding and client file delivery platform.
Tron is a cloud-based file transfer tool that allowed for more than 5x outbound speeds to allow film distributors top tier efficiency while transferring large files.
Inqubator achieved this by automating the process of uploading large files into a cloud environment and then spawning dozens of high speed servers to simultaneously push out content to several online video platforms (Google, iTunes, Netflix, etc). This took a process that normally would take several days or weeks, down to just a few hours.
