The record

Purpose: Das Element helps organize and tag visual effects asset libraries using structured folders, proxies, a database, categories, and searchable tags.
Supported media: It supports images, videos, image sequences, HDR images, 3D models, project files, and other media including PDFs.
Ingest: The Standard edition ingests elements into a configurable folder structure and supports custom naming conventions and proxy transcoding.
Machine learning: On-premises machine learning features assist with asset tagging and search without requiring an internet connection.
Multiple libraries: Users can create separate libraries for projects or asset types and search across libraries.
Integrations: DCC tools can receive assets through file-explorer drag and drop, and the documentation describes JSON data notation and custom drop handlers.
Pipeline and API: A CLI and Python API support pipeline integration and automation, including ingestion tasks.
Offline and security: The application works offline on-premises, and the maker says this helps studios address security concerns around NDAs.
Licensing: Only floating licenses are available, and the maker says they can also be used by a single user; licensing uses Reprise License Manager.
Lite limitation: Lite is read-only for browsing and loading libraries; creating libraries, ingesting files, and machine learning require Standard.
Supported operating systems: The maker lists Linux, Windows 10 and 11, and macOS, and lists iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, Android, and Windows Mobile as unsupported.
3D viewing limit: The 3D viewer currently displays low-poly FBX and OBJ files; USD and Alembic can use custom thumbnails or turntable renders.
Support: The maker provides documentation, a help desk, video tutorials, and support by email.
Maker and headquarters: The imprint identifies Jonas Kluger as the sole proprietor and lists an address in Munich, Germany.
