HomeMy WebLinkAboutResponses To Web Streaming RequirementsAPPENDIX A: Responses to Web Streaming Requirements
ITEM 13: All encoding will be in Windows Media format, and will therefore require end
users to utilize Windows Media Player
ITEM 30: The functionality of searching via a specific date range is in our development
queue, but is not a current offering from our database. The meeting dates are captured
in the database, so this is a function of configuring the search that can specifically seek
that specific data.
This functionality will be delivered by January of 2008.
ITEM 37. MediaManager does not currently provide the ability to document the user
that creates the event, edits the event, or the most current edit made.
ITEM 50: MediaManager does not currently integrate with Active Directory. This
desired function is in our development queue.
ITEM 53: Ability to integrate with Legistar 4.8.145 (the City's current version of Legistar)
in taking roll call, votes, actions, automatically assign enactment numbers for passed items,
minutes, etc. (Please explain the integration with Legistar including the cost involved if so,
any)
A. Taking Roll call, motions, votes, and notes. This can be captured within the
MinutesMaker application. Please see the add option for this module.
B. Automatically assign Enactment numbers : Currently, this is NOT a current
functionality option within MinutesMaker. This would only work in Legistar as it
currently is done.
C. Integration: With version 4.8, you will have the ability to export the agenda from
Legistar into the Granicus MinutesMaker application. This does NOT include
supporting materials or the ability to push the data captured (motions, votes, roll
calls, and notes) back into Legistar.
D. Cost: The additional cost would be $5,000.00 for the integration ($2,500 per
company). This includes the Granicus and Legistar fees.
ITEM 56: Provide automated tools for generating meeting minutes:
Yes, the Granicus MinutesMaker application is designed specifically for creating meeting
minutes through an automated workflow.
Explain how the integration with Legistar can be accomplished;
The Integration with Legistar v. 4.8 will be a collaborative effort between Granicus and
Legistar. This will take 30-120 days for implementation. This will allow the agenda
created in Legistar to automatically export to the Granicus application. This will NOT
include supporting materials at this time. However, the new integration interface will
Granicus Inc. -19-
allow for exporting of all supporting documents during the agenda export stage. This is
currently in development and has a time table of 3-6 months for completion. The city will
then have the option of utilizing the Granicus MinutesMaker during the meeting.
This will allow for:
1. Automatically record motions, votes, notes, and roll calls.
2. All the above items will be indexed to the audio/video
3. Create Minutes document that is hyperlinked to video
This will NOT all for:
1. Automatically assigning Enactment numbers
2. Resulting data to flow back in to Legistar (for current version of Minutes that are
created by the Clerks staff)
*****OPTIONS FOR THE CITY CLERKS OFFICE:
1. Utilize the existing process for creating Minutes through the Legistar application.
This would involve replacing the currently utilized FTR system with the Granicus
Live Manager application. This application would be used to index all agenda items
with the digital streaming audio/video. In this case, this would not involve utilizing
MinutesMaker application to create the minutes. This would also not provide the
ability to create HTML dynamically linked (to video) versions of your Minutes. An
example of how this would appear is demonstrated below by City of Gainesville, FL
(uses Legistar and Granicus)
Atp://gainesville.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=2Etclip_id=47
2. Utilize the Granicus MinutesMaker application to generate meeting minutes. This
application would be used by the Clerks staff live at the meeting to record motions,
votes, roll calls, and notes while simultaneously creating index points to the audio
and video. This would allow the Clerks office to create HTML dynamically linked
Minutes as shown here in Long Beach, CA (uses Legistar and Granicus):
p g y P p? 6:dip =1010
htt //lon, beach.�ranic�as.cc�rn/�heciia�l�: er. h vit,r�r ��� 7 _
The limitation of this option is that supporting documents and enactment numbers will
NOT automatically be created or appear in the Minutes. However, as stated above,
supporting documents will automatically pass from Legistar to Granicus when the next
integration interface is completed (3-6 months).
This option has been presented as an ADD OPTION in the proposed pricing.

Granicus MediaManager'' Software
Granicus MediaManager'' consists of proprietary web -based software tools designed to efficiently organize and
manage your streaming content. These tools put the control of broadcast activity, user account management,
live event management, and usage reporting in your hands.
The software has been broken up into four segments to meet the unique needs for a variety of local government
agencies. These three components are: 1) Media Manager'' - Basic, 2) MediaManager" Enterprise, and 3)
MediaManager'', - MinutesMaker. Each of these components are described in detail below. MediaManager'" -
Basic is the foundation technology of every solution and is required before adding the Enterprise or MinutesMaker
software modules.
MediaManager'' Basic
Public Site:
Our solution includes several pages for your Internet users to access on -demand media and live broadcasts. Users
will use these pre -built pages to search out specific footage, and jump to specific events within your audio/video
archive. The Granicus solution also allows for a key word search based on all of the index points associated with
the County's complete library of video archives. This functionality substantially increases the convenience of
access to and use of meeting archives. Around these core pages you can instantly control user access using a
registration and log in system. All public web pages are seamlessly integrated into your current website, so that
the look and feel of your site remains consistent. The MediaManager - Basic software license allows for one
custom build archiving listing page, and one video skin. By adding MediaManagerTM' - Enterprise you will the
ability to create and customize an unlimited number of public pages by utilizing our templates and views tools.
See MediaManager" - Enterprise for more information.
Protected Administration Site:
As a client of Granicus, you will have access to a web based administrative site that will allow you to create and
manage archives, schedule and index live events, link documents and minutes of meeting to the video, view real
time usage reporting, and configure content distribution. You will also have access to a series of video editing
tools that can be used to enhance your on -demand content once it has been broadcasted or encoded.
• Media Acquisition tools give you the ability to add audio and video content to your content library from
a variety of sources. Utilizing the Granicus Outcast'm encoder, live events can be simultaneously
broadcast and archived to the library easily and directly through the live event manager. During a
broadcast you can add times stamped data, such as agenda item indices or slides, allowing you to create
rich multimedia presentations. You are also given a simple media import tool that can be used to import
any pre -encoded content from your desktop into your archive listing. Finally, the Granicus Outcast''
encoder, which is included with MediaManager'' - Basic, can be used to encode your analog video by
replacing the live signal with that of a standard video playback device such as a standard VCR or DVD
player. In this scenario, the same capture tools for managing a live broadcast can be used to make your
valued offline content available online. Granicus also offers in house from encoding from VHS or DVD as
part of our professional services.
• Automatic Live Event Scheduler and Archive Publishing - Live events, such as County Supervisors
meetings, can be easily scheduled to be both broadcast live and archive through the Granicus Live Event
Manager. By utilizing this tool, the County will not require staff time or technical assistance to start,
stop or archive their live events. Archives are automatically transferred from the Granicus OutCast'M
encoder to the Granicus MediaCenter'' and automatically published the County's web site. These
features substantially decrease the need for staff time to manage content creation and publishing to the
County's web site.
• Media Clip Administration provides clients the toots to create, edit, delete, index, trim and merge
digital video clips. Once the media is in the archive library you can utilize indexing tools that allow you
to set multiple "Jump To" points into the video, providing your end user the ability to easily navigate
your streaming content. Various other editing and organizational tools allow you to modify your archives
and add to the searchable Meta data associated with each archive.
Granicus Inc. —27—
• Meeting Agenda Parser allows the County to index its video archives based on agenda item titles, by
automatically pulling the agenda item titles and descriptions from the County's agenda and loading them
into the Granicus MediaManager'M. These agenda item titles are than loaded into the live event
manager, which allows you to index your video in real time by simply clicking on an agenda item title
and pressing enter when the council or board begins discussing that issue. Other solutions, if they offer
indexing, force you to manually retype and load the text for each agenda item. The Agenda Parser
feature assures quality indexing and substantially decreases the staff time need to create indices.
• Searchable Indexes -- Audio and Video archives, which are viewable over the Internet, can be easily
indexed with multiple jump points through the Granicus MediaManager'M software. These indexes allow
users to jump directly to the specific point in the County's audio/video archive. The Granicus solution
also allows for a key word search based on all of the index points associated with the County's complete
library of video archives. For example a key word search on "Water" will return to the user a direct link
to all of the audio/video archives, which discuss water usage in the County. This functionality
substantially increases the convenience of access to meeting archives.
• Searchable Closed Captioning - The Granicus solution supports the use of closed captioning, and the
association of the captioning with the streaming media. Captions are viewable during live and archived
streaming for full ADA compliance. For archived meetings the captions can also be searched by key
words allowing the user to jump to the appropriate point in the video archive. In addition captions can
also be used to create a transcript for a particular agenda item through the Granicus MediaManager'M
Software.
• Document Management enables documents to be manually loaded and linked to video archives and
directly associated to the appropriate agenda items, resulting in a searchable archive that includes both
the audio/video record of your meeting and the staff reports or other documents that were used during
the meeting. Cross -linking documents and audio/video archives provide the most comprehensive records
archive system available. To improve the efficiency of integrating and linking your meeting documents
with your meeting audio / video see the Document management Integration option included with
Min utesLinker'M.
• CD Download with Indexing - Audio/Video Archives can be quickly downloaded and burned to CD by any
administrator of the Granicus solution. The CD download also includes the agenda item indexing
information so users of the CD can still jump directly to the agenda items they are interested in. This
tool conveniently provides offline copies of your meetings for those citizens without Internet access.
• Media Delivery subsystems, such as the Granicus StreamReplicator'M and MediaVault'M, maximize your
existing infrastructure investment by allowing you to deliver content using local storage and bandwidth
when appropriate. These systems function transparently as part of the Granicus solution, and
complement the robust delivery architecture at the Granicus MediaCenter'M. No special training is
required to operate these devices as they function autonomously and are controlled by Granicus
MediaManager'M software.
• Summary Reports provide you with detailed usage reports concerning: streaming requests, average user
bandwidth, outbound bandwidth, content popularity, and media storage usage.
MediaManagerTM' - Enterprise
• User/Group Administration provides clients with the tools to set login and registration requirements
and create new user accounts. Tools are also provided to manage and utilize the account information
for registered users and export valid e-mail addresses into a quick mailing list. Most importantly, the
group management tools allow you to categorize your media library, automatically limiting a users
access to those clips that you specifically made available to them. By creating group administrators who
control certain clips and managing users accounts, you can distribute the responsibility of managing your
media library.
Granicus Inc.
• Access Control - Access control for content and groups of content allows you to define exactly who can
access what content and from where. Access control can be based on IP address, username/password or
both.
• Complete Template Language The Granicus MediaManager'M software uses a tag -based template
language to display all published content. This allows you to finely control the took and feel of your
video and video -related pages, and does not restrict your layout like a header/footer based publishing
system would. By utilizing the Granicus MediaManager'M - Enterprise license you can create and edit an
unlimited number of publishing templates. These templates can be easily managed through our HTML
editor by your webmaster.
• Views System - The views system is the counterpart to the template language. The Granicus
MediaManager'M software allows you to publish video archives and a list of upcoming live broadcast to the
web by creating views. To create a view you simply select the appropriate template and specific
content you would like to have published. For example, a County may want to publish all of its County
Council archives and the upcoming live broadcast of the County Council meeting on one webpage. To do
this simply select the County Council archive folder and County Council event and then select the
appropriate template. This will generate an HTML webpage with the appropriate look and feel and
content. Link this page into your existing website and your ready to go.
MediaManager - MinutesMaker'
Granicus MinutesMaker acts as a substitute to the County Clerk's current live audio recording
equipment and minutes annotation tools, making it simple to annotate your meeting minutes live during
the meeting. By using the Minutes Maker software you can capture motions, votes, and discussion
summaries as they occur leaving you with minimal annotation work the next morning. The
MinutesMaker'M software logic is based on Robert's Rules of Order and standard parliamentary procedure.
Thus, allowing the system to easily record a variety of motion types including, amendments, substitute,
and free form motions. In addition, the system easily handles updating of the role call during the
meeting, recording the times that voting members join and leave a meeting. Votes are recorded live
through a simple interface, which defaults all members to yes or absent based on their current
attendance at the meeting. Every item that is annotated through the software is automatically linked to
the audio and video record of your meeting as you type, enabling very efficient cleanup of your minutes
after the meeting.
If the Clerk does need to review the audio of the meeting the next day in order to update their minutes,
you can simply click on the text of your minutes and the MinutesMaker'M software will play back the
audio and video from that precise point in the meeting. While you are watching or listing to the meeting
record you can simply and quickly edit the text of your minutes. As a result, you will no longer have to
spend hours fast forwarding and rewinding through the audio tape of your meeting in order to finish you
minutes.
• Minutes Templates are utilized to format the look and feel of your minutes document. Using the
minutes template tools Granicus will develop an HTML minutes document that looks virtually identical to
your current minutes format. However, the new minutes document will include links to the audio /
video archive of your meeting as well as Links to the appropriate supporting documents like staff reports
for that meeting.
• Mobile Encoder Option - The Granicus MinutesMaker'M also enables you to utilize the Granicus
MobileEncoderTM'. The MobileEncoder'M will allow you to utilize all of the functionality of MinutesMaker'M
to record and index the audio / video of your meeting, and take your meeting annotations at a remote
location without Internet access. When you return to your office, you can simple upload the audio file
to the Granicus Media Manager. At which point it can be automatically published to the County's web
site or edited just like the meetings that take place in the council or board chambers.
• Document & Agenda Management Integration - Granicus MinutesMaker'M allows for the integration of
the Granicus Streaming media solution with a document management or agenda management solutions in
order to create the most complete and accessible archive of your public meetings and legislative history.
Granicus Inc. —29—
Granicus and its partners are working together to produce a system that wilt archive and manage all
aspects of your public meeting records. This includes meeting agendas, minutes, documents and
audio/video recordings. All of these media types are automatically synchronized and cross -linked
allowing for intuitive web based search and retrieval of information. In addition, the document and
agenda management integration will allow the two systems to automatically share information and
streamlining your agenda and minutes workflow.
• Voting System Integration - Granicus MinutesMaker' is required for integration with the Granicus
VotingSystem'M software. The Granicus VotingSystem'°" workflow is integrated tightly with the Clerks use
of the Granicus MinutesMaker'' software, which together allows legislative motions, votes, and
attendance information to be recorded directly from the council member's finger into the clerks meeting
minutes.
