The Microsoft Media Platform Content Manager (MMPCM) is an open source solution that can be used by enterprises, educational institutions and broadcasting companies to manage their video assets using a lightweight and highly-customizable solution built on Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and Microsoft media-related technologies, such as Silverlight 4, IIS Media Services and Expression Encoder 4 among others.

The MMPCM infrastructure enables users to:
1. Define, edit and approve / reject video assets
2. Transcode video into different formats
3. Broadcast Live Events
4. Insert Ads on Live Event transmissions
5. Edit videos online right within MMPCM
6. Publish videos to external players
7. The present document will provide both an architectural and a technical description of the Microsoft Media Platform Content Manager.

The Microsoft Media Platform Content Manager relies on SharePoint 2010 for metadata management. The metadata representation of a video within the MMPCM is known as Asset. Assets define attributes such as Title, Description, Author, Thumbnail, Start Time, Duration, URL, etc. Assets are divided into Projects.

Projects are implemented as sub-sites within the MMPCM, and are way of a grouping Assets of the same topic. A Project is also a collaboration infrastructure for publishers and producers managing a common group of Assets, which provides communication means, roles, and workflow activities.
