Abstract:

A system and method for the managed distribution of digital media. A capture station captures media resources by converting the media resources into digital form. Once captured in digital form, the digital media is communicated to a formatting server. The formatting server encodes and encrypts the digital media into a desired form for distribution by the system. The digital media is stored in a master media server. Users are allowed to access the digital media using a media presentation client. A user can request access to digital media stored on the master media server. The system allows various access restrictions to be defined to restrict access to the digital media. If a user is authorized to access a piece of digital media, the digital media may be delivered to the media presentation client by the master media server.
