Supplied as standard with all BrightDrive systems, the BrightDrive Data Management Suite (DMS) enables users to optimize the flow and management of media between multiple film and video broadcast and postproduction processes. BrightDrive DMS includes highly advanced intelligence that reflects Bright Systems' unrivalled knowledge of data recording technology which positions the BrightDrive product range as a market-leading, mature and feature-rich technology.
BrightDrive DMS comprises three data management toolsets: Data Wrangler, Data Optimizer and Data Mover. Each provides functions to maximize ease of use, system performance and data delivery speeds.

Data Wrangler presents operators with a single, simple to use interface containing a set of graphical tools for browsing, searching and previewing media. These new tools facilitate the management of folders and sequences on the BrightDrive infrastructure. Data Wrangler also includes access to Data Mover and Data Optimizer functions.

Data Wrangler is also available as a separate product

Data Optimizer identifies media contained in data sets, including single clips, and analyzes the physical characteristics. Data Optimizer comprises a unique algorithm developed to improved workspace management through advancements in optimization. Where necessary, images are re-laid in the most logical and intelligent order for optimal playback.
Data Mover simplifies the movement of image files between BrightDrive's shareable workspaces, and between BrightDrive and remote workstations with direct attached storage (DAS). By using of Bright's advanced image-aware technology, Data Mover is able to recognize the characteristics of image files, and manage them intelligently to provide optimal system performance. Also included are enhanced bandwidth management technology, and a folder-watch function that automatically 'watches' for new files rather than having to be initiated manually.
