4. Conclusion
The importance of the first three downstream functions of a digital media and DMAM chain, presented in this article, translates differently depending on the function:
the acquisition and editing functions are decisive at the media level, the former for the quality of the source media after digitization, and possibly compression, the latter for the final composition of the product;
indexing-analysis is decisive when it comes to generating metadata.
But alongside these three functions (figure 1 ), other functions are just as important and are also involved downstream:

Acquisition tools and products
The following three sections are essentially tables presenting a sample of commercially available tools. They are not intended to provide an exhaustive overview, but simply to give the reader an initial exploration.

Indexing analysis tools and products
All "integrated" DMAM tools offers an indexing analysis module.
Most of these modules are actually computer-assisted semantic analysis-indexing (text annotation) tools (video and/or audio segmentation, text transcription, etc.).
Very few do automatic analysis-indexing, generating only physical descriptors (Muscle Fish, LTU, ...)....
Editing tools
Audio editing tools
Audio editing modules are included in video editing products (Adobe has bought Cool Edit Pro from Syntrillium, Steinberg has formed the audio division of Pinnacle, Sony Pictures has integrated Sonic Foundry software, etc.).
An editing function is included in specific DMAM software such as DaletPlus Radio Suite....
