Release 3.0 of the Avalon Media System is now available. Both Indiana University and Northwestern University will be using this release to set up production environments and we hope other institutions will join us.
Release 3.0 adds the following capabilities:
provide authorization for item access from your learning management system by integrating Avalon as an LTI tool (Learning Tools Interoperability is a standard used by many course management systems)
embed Avalon's media player in other web page using embed codes
configure Avalon to delete, move, or do nothing to your master files after they are transcoded
track location of master files and derivatives in Fedora
configure Avalon to assign a permanent URL (e.g., PURL or Handle) when an item is published
quickly import previously transcoded derivatives
maintain privacy of dropboxes between collections
numerous media player bug fixes and improvements
