ASSET
Asset is the combination of a target media file (video, audio, picture, documents, tape cassettes, etc) with metadata (info about the asset), proxy of the hi-res file, storyboard, thumbnail, any attached documents and different versions of the media file.

THUMBNAIL
Thumbnails are reduced-size versions of pictures, used to help in recognizing and organizing them, serving the same role for images as a normal text index does for words. In the case of video content, they are basically snapshot images from the video.

PROXY
Proxy is a lower resolution copy of the original file, resulting with less storage and bandwidth consumption. It consists of highly compressed, very low resolution video that mirrors a high resolution original master digital recording. Since proxy AV data is timecode synchronized with the original, much smaller in size, and can be sent faster than real-time over TCP/IP networks, it can be used quickly for viewing, scripting and editing.

STORYBOARD
A video storyboard is a group of frames (pictures) for the purpose of pre-visualizing a video sequence. It serves as a summary for the whole video, at first sight.

METADATA
When speaking of managing content, metadata is essential. Simply put, metadata is ‘data about data’ -information about a video file, audio clip, or a web page like file locations, assigned IDs, durations, titles, descriptions, annotations, key words, usage rights-. With a rich metadata catalogue of assets and advanced search capabilities, users spend less time searching and more time finding/creating content.

VIDEOTAPE
A videotape is a recording of images and sounds on to magnetic tape . Information stored can be in the form of either an analog or digital signal. Videotape is used in both video tape recorders (VTRs) or, more commonly and more recently, videocassette recorder (VCR) and camcorders. Tape is a linear method of storing information and since nearly all video recordings made nowadays are digital direct to disk recording (DDR), videotape may be expected to lose some importance as non-linear/random-access methods of storing digital video data become more common.
TAPE LIBRARY
Tape library is a storage device which contains one or more tape drives, a number of slots to hold tape cartridges, a barcode reader to identify tape cartridges and an automated method – a robot-for loading tapes.

HSM
Hierarchical storage management (HSM) is a data storage technique which automatically moves data between high-cost and low-cost storage media. HSM systems exist because high-speed storage devices such as hard disk drive arrays, are more expensive (per byte stored) than slower devices such as optical discs and magnetic tape drives. While it would be ideal to have all data available on high-speed devices all the time, this is prohibitively expensive for many organizations. Instead, HSM systems store the bulk of the enterprise's data on slower devices, and then copy data to faster disk drives when needed. In effect, HSM turns the fast disk drives into caches for the slower mass storage devices.
