AFD (Accelerated File Delivery) is Imagen’s high-speed file transfer service used by many of the world’s biggest media companies to securely distribute broadcast quality files to key clients at speed.
Imagen is a video management and distribution platform used by leading media companies, sports organisations and businesses.
It enables their clients to search and access large video libraries and download high-resolution files at blistering speed using Imagen’s built-in Accelerated File Delivery (AFD) feature.
Once you’ve downloaded the desktop AFD application you can link it to as many Imagen accounts as you like. Accelerate downloads to any of your online AFD installations from any web browser on any device.
AFD moves large files at blistering speeds by utilising available bandwidth more effectively.
With full encryption during transit you can be sure your valuable files arrive safely.
AFD is fully integrated into Imagen, letting your clients discover and access large libraries of content.
Anyone can use AFD. It works on Mac or PC. Unlike other acceleration file technologies, it requires no complex configuration or technical skill to set-up.
AFD is integrated with Imagen’s User Analytics so you know what content is hot - and what’s not - so you can calculate ROI and better plan future content.
File transfer solutions can be an expensive add on for media companies and content owners. AFD is completely free for all Imagen users and their clients.
Your AFD software can connect to multiple instances of Imagen – so if you’re a broadcaster or production company looking for the latest sports video, or a TV production company looking for clips to license – you can use your AFD client to manage file transfers from any number of Imagen platforms – much better than installing a different file transfer application for each individual supplier.
Coordinate distribution of huge files to multiple delivery points worldwide from any connected device. E.g. send large, broadcast-ready files to edit suites in London, Los Angeles and New York using your mobile phone.
Download full-length video content with AFD immediately or use Imagen to create short clips. Your clips may take a while to process, but you can nominate any of your AFD accounts (across multiple machines or locations) to automatically manage the download of the clips when they are ready.
For machine-to-machine integrations or for subscribers of Imagen's MRSS and Saved Searches, Imagen AFD will automatically handle file transfers when new content becomes available.
