Cadmore Media is renowned for its industry-standard suite of services, offering a centralized management portal equipped with scalable API-based workflows. These workflows encompass activities such as loading, tagging, enriching, transcribing, segmenting, and streaming SPIE's diverse range of media content.
To ensure a seamless integration of the two platforms, Cadmore's embedded media player has been meticulously configured to align with SPIE's branding, security protocols, and publishing standards. The player also adheres to accessibility guidelines, offering users the flexibility to engage with content at their preferred pace and level of textual interaction.
