MediaMatrix
MediaMatrix is a specialized database application specifically designed to handle internet media streaming content. It allows content creators at Texas A&M University to have more control over the distribution of their streaming or downloadable media content. The system is also designed to protect against copyright infringements and theft of intellectual property. You can upload content to your personal library on our servers and publish these assets directly to individuals, groups, course sections and other audiences. Once your content is published, audiences can access your content in a variety of different ways including RSS subscription (Podcasting).

Content
Depending on whether or not you are a Content
Manager or simply someone who needs to see content that has been published
directly to you or your course, will change the interface options that are
visible to you in MediaMatrix. If the
content is publicly available, no authentication is required for viewing, but
may still be desired if the content is specific to a course.
