The Web Browser Access Module provides access to the SCC MediaServer system via a standard Web browser. The module supports multiple library searches, preview and compare, record editing, image soft cropping, file download and delivery, as well as many customizable display layout features.

The Assignment Module allows the creation of news budgets and assignment records from MediaGrid, from a Web browser, from an editorial system, from an email form, or from any system capable of outputting a structured text document to a server directory. The module allows budget and assignment records to be tracked through various stages and supports the attachment of multimedia content such as photos, videos, graphics and stories. All submitted content including budget and assignment records are linked together for easy retrieval.

The Delivery Module enables automated delivery of documents stored within an SCC MediaServer system. The module supports multiple destinations, each configured with a time to send, an output format, and an output location, including print queue, network directory, FTP site, email address, or IP socket address. The module also incorporates a sophisticated event management system that allows "trigger" conditions to be set based on date and time or on matching field attribute values within the records themselves. Events such as image rotation, multi-object linking, word count calculation, lead paragraph extraction, header field population, unique ID generation, text and image format transformation, and file delivery by email or FTP can all be configured to run automatically.

The NewsML Module provides tight integration with either CCI editorial systems equipped with CCI's NewsML export engine or with MediaSpan JazBox editorial systems. The module provides a user friendly and highly configurable interface to the NewsML export data. Once configured, the it performs all necessary data extraction and conversion, record insertion, auto-enhancement, and record linking in order to automatically and completely produce an enriched archive of all publication elements and their relationships generated within the editorial system.

The Speech to Text Module converts speech from audio and video files stored within the MediaServer database into a text transcript, which is subsequently stored within the record and indexed for searching by MediaServer's search engine. Once generated the text transcript can be searched, displayed, edited, printed and exported just the same as the text stored within any other MediaServer record. The speech to text module provides the ability to launch and play the audio and video file at the exact point the matching search terms appear in the clip.

The RSS Module automatically and continually retrieves and interprets new content from one or more RSS enabled web sites, inserts it into MediaServer libraries, and makes it accessible to clients via the same sophisticated search and retrieval techniques available for all other MediaServer content.

The MS Word Integration Module provides a bridge that allows Microsoft Word to access, display and change attributes of objects stored in the SCC MediaServer system.

The TearSheets Module supports the insertion of ad data exported from SCS Layout 8000, Managing Editor ALS, or from any front-end advertising system capable of producing a delimited export file. This module provides automatic linking between the ad record and related page, ad and invoice components. Once linked, selected components such as page and invoice can be delivered, unattended, by FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or email to one or more destinations.

The Replication Module provides the ability to maintain an identical copy of a MediaServer system at a remote site. The module incorporates a scheduling mechanism that can be configured to provide near real-time replication of the system, or configured to run only at certain times of the day.
