Intelligent media systems for libraries that keep growing
Determinds designs, builds, and maintains systems for broadcasters, publishers, and production companies whose libraries grow faster than the teams managing them, covering recommendation engines for video, radio, and music, rights and clearance tracking, and the operations tooling that keeps every asset findable.
01 What shapes each system
Metadata, cold starts, and Arabic content
Metadata at the center
Determinds builds every library around its metadata: what an asset is, who cleared it, where it has run, and which version is current, so your team can manage the library with confidence.
A cold-start plan for every catalog
Every catalog holds new titles with little signal and established titles with a long history, and Determinds designs recommendation behavior for both from the start.
Arabic content as a core requirement
Determinds treats Arabic search, tagging, and transcription as an engineering requirement from the first sprint, so your Arabic content is as findable as your English content.

Media Management System
What it covers
Media Management System covers ingest, metadata, rights and clearance state, versioning, and delivery for a growing library, built on engineering proven in production before it became a product.
- Carries the production history of a commissioned build
- Configurable metadata model
- Arabic and English throughout
Who it suits
Broadcasters, publishers, and production companies whose library has outgrown a shared drive and a spreadsheet, and who want a focused platform without an enterprise asset management program.
- Faster to deploy than a custom build
- Extended by Determinds to your requirements
- Configured to your metadata model
Configuration and extension
Before contract, Determinds scopes each requirement against the platform’s existing configuration, so you know which needs a setting covers and which call for development work.
04 Frequently asked
Questions media teams ask
Recommendation quality, rights, Arabic content, and migration from a shared drive.
How do you measure recommendation quality?
Determinds measures recommendation quality on your own catalog, against a metric agreed before the build, usually completion rate or return rate on a defined slice. Titles with interaction history give the strongest results, so our team reports new releases and long-tail titles as a separate cold-start slice, and you see performance across the whole catalog.
Can the system track rights and clearance?
Yes. Determinds tracks rights and clearance as a state on each asset, with the history behind it, so your team can see whether an asset can run and on what basis. We model the states your agreements create, and where a clearance question needs human judgment, the system routes it for review.
Does the system work in Arabic?
Yes. Determinds has built Arabic document intelligence and text handling for production use, covering search, tagging, and transcription. Our team tests on your own content from the start, so dialect, transliteration, and spelling variation are handled in the design of the system.
How do you migrate a library from a shared drive and a spreadsheet?
Determinds begins with a reconciliation phase that compares your spreadsheet against the files on the drive and resolves assets that cannot yet be identified, ending with a report. You see the true state of your library before committing to the full migration.
Can you integrate with our playout and delivery systems?
In most cases, yes, and Determinds confirms each system's interfaces during scoping. We have built integration layers into core platforms in regulated sectors, including two core banking integrations in production, and apply the same discipline here. Where a system has no usable interface, our team designs a clear manual handoff.
Will a language model write our content?
Only where you choose, and always behind a human review step. Determinds has built a multi-agent platform that generates text, image, audio, and video, with a human checkpoint before anything leaves the system, and several of our media systems involve no generation at all.
Media and entertainment
Start with your hardest-to-find assets
Determinds begins with the category of assets that takes longest to find, delivering a searchable, cleared, and versioned slice of your library that proves the system early.
