  • Build huge enterprise-scale configurations or focused departmental solutions
  • Use fast, precise industry-specific search tools
  • Create easy, flexible, drag-and-drop workflows
  • Link pages with the source objects that appear on it
  • Link objects to the original assignment, outtakes and rights information
  • Import RAW camera files
  • Run content and system usage reports
  • And much more...


Merlin Digital Asset Management software is configurable, flexible and extensible, and will let you handle both print and multimedia file formats:
  • Photos: JPEG, TIFF, PSD, RAW and others
  • Graphics: TIFF, EPS or native formats like Illustrator™ or Freehand™
  • PDF files with full-text indexing and searchable content
  • Multimedia files such as QuickTime™, MP3, WAV, AVI
  • Text as ascii, XML, SGML, and HTML
...and web and professional video formats with the Merlin Video Asset Management System

The Merlin Digital Asset Management system supports other industry standards like IPTC and XMP. Merlin uses SQL databases running off-the-shelf operating systems and standard hardware platforms. Users can access content from any web browser, and power-users creating and maintaining content can use the Merlin rich client application on a Macintosh™ or Windows™ computer. Merlin Digital Asset Management systems easily fit into almost any IT environment.

MSync DiagramMSync assures a fault-tolerant system
Merlin's MSync software solves the need to have a highly fault-tolerant system, even one which has geographically dispersed components. Using intelligent replication, all digital asset management data between two or more hardware systems (independent CPU and disk storage on each) is completely redundant. It accommodates asymmetrical hardware selection and MSync does not require enterprise versions of database or operating system software, significantly reducing the total cost of ownership. With MSync, if the primary server hardware fails, the secondary server takes over and users continue working as if nothing has happened. Once the primary server is back on line, the secondary system syncs it up, and operation returns to normal.

Different options. One digital asset management workflow.

An integrated solution that saves time and speeds production
Merlin, Trax and Scrounger can be used independently, and with great benefit. But together they combine to create a unique and completely integrated workflow. Complete digital asset management with assignment management and outtake management.

Information is entered once and shared among the products, linking content and related information.

For example:
  1. You search and find a story in the digital asset management software
  2. Click and see the page and all the photos and graphics for that assignment
  3. Click again to see the original assignment contacts and rights information
  4. Looking for a new angle? Click and see every photo from the shoot
  5. As you find related items, drag and drop them into a project folder
  6. When done, drag and drop the project folder to the editor's "in" folder
  7. Then drag and drop the selected content to production for a follow-up

In addition to the fully-licensed Merlin Digital Asset Management System, we offer a Software-as-a-Service, hosted version of the same robust asset management toolset.
