MediaBeacon

Keep your digital assets within reach.

MediaBeacon is a central service for organizations to securely store, search and browse their media assets, such as images, illustrations, videos and audio. It provides a visual browsing system, advanced search capabilities, and share functionality, including an external portal feature allowing you to share content with audiences beyond their individual organizations within and beyond Duke.

The issues inherent with using multiple local hard drives to store large files -- including loss and damage -- are eliminated. Between MediaBeacon's web application and OIT’s secure, centralized storage, you will easily be able to find specific projects and files to reference and/or reuse, freeing up space on your local hard drive. In addition, OIT’s storage is regularly backed up, allowing you to access your department’s media assets even if an employee leaves Duke.  

Try our new MediaBeacon iOS app, called Duke MediaBeacon, developed by OIT’s Enterprise Web and Mobile Applications Team in partnership with OIT’s Digital Experience and Academic Technology Solutions group.
