Online imaging database serves film and television industries

Abstract

As well as making products that come in little yellow boxes, Eastman Kodak is also a software developer. One of its software products is the Eastman Exchange, a database that lets film and television professionals access remotely images and information that they need to plan shoots. The Eastman Exchange presently consists of location images and data provided by US and international film commissions, but will soon be expanded to include images and information about props, costumes, talent, audio recordings, photo stills and video clips. The database engine and interface have been designed to be highly adaptable: they can be customised to support any application involving the cataloguing of images for remote access and display.
