Sienna OriginOne

OriginOne further supports the News System by including a mechanism to map proxy links inside MOS objects, with the proxy media. OriginOne supports MOS object auto create, to allow News System clients to prepare 'dummy' objects early in the day, which will later be attached to incoming video feeds, or finished craft edits.

OriginOne uses a ‘Single Point of Configuration’ for many of the Sienna Client functions, thereby avoiding the need for complex setup procedures inside StoryCut clients. For example, OriginOne maintains a set of ‘delivery points’ which represent target media locations to be used for package delivery from StoryCut. This information is broadcast to StoryCut whenever a package is ready for delivery. The delivery points not only define the physical location to be used, but also the proxy format to be used during the post delivery proxy generation.

This mechanism allows a Systems Administrator to completely redefine the storage hierarchy and change the proxy format, for the entire Sienna infrastructure by making a single change inside OriginOne, no matter how many Sienna StoryCut clients are connected.



Sienna OriginOne is the central data hub for the Sienna infrastructure. One of its primary functions, is a powerful MOS gateway between news management systems and the Sienna QuickTime media infrastructure. OriginOne maintains a mirror ‘image’ of the MOS information on the News System, and delivers the appropriate data to the various Sienna applications. OriginOne also allows PictureReady, VirtualVTR and StoryCut, to push MOS video objects into the News System so they may be incorporated into stories and running orders.

The OriginOne database is also used for simple QuickTime asset management, by utilising OriginOne’s MediaSearch web browser based search system, and other Search functions in the various Sienna modules. This asset management feature can be accessed from any part of a WAN VPN, and allows a global media sharing infrastructure with proxy search and browse of your media from any other station on your private network. OriginOne frees users from the complications of the file system, by representing all media as object packages containing the high quality video file, the proxy video file, the JPEG thumbnail and all the object metadata. Sienna Client applications serviced by OriginOne include PictureReady, StoryCut, AutomationX, GraphicArtist & VirtualVTR, communicating via a quick, convenient and reliable TCP/IP protocol.
