FORK(TM) Xchange(TM) Suite 2.5
At IBC2013, Primestream(R) will exhibit version 2.5 of FORK(TM) Xchange(TM) Suite, the application that gives broadcasters instant cloud access to content on their FORK Production servers from any Windows(R), Mac(R), or tablet device. An add-on to Primestream's highly acclaimed FORK software platform for managing and automating broadcast workflows, FORK Xchange Suite 2.5 introduces the Xchange Shot List Editor add-on module, which gives editors a fast and nimble way to edit content living inside the FORK environment via a proxy with Xchange for Web and iOS. To protect and secure the assets from unwanted intervention, powerful security enhancements such as token-based authentication, a dedicated API for streaming URLs, time-limited temporary URLs, hash-encrypted URLs, and session-based crosschecking have been added to Xchange 2.5.
Also making its European debut is Xchange for iPad(R) 1.0, a professional, native iOS application that allows producers and editors to browse, edit metadata, and create annotations on content while disconnected from the production environment.

FORK(TM) Logger 1.0
At IBC2013, Primestream(R) will demonstrate FORK(TM) Logger 1.0, a module for describing content inside FORK Production Suite's software platform for media asset management and workflow automation. The module is a powerful metadata-tagging tool designed from the ground up for logging live or pre-recorded video. The tightly integrated and configurable user interface enables content loggers to tag video quickly with defined metadata, making content searchable, ready to be filtered, and organized for viewing in FORK's Content Navigator(TM) (MAM) -- or for working with in a FORK project or rundown.
The heart of FORK Logger is a dynamic GUI containing form templates, button panels, video viewers, marker thumbnail lists, and a bin list of created events, all elements that can be designed based on content requirements.
FORK Logger increases the speed, accuracy, and flexibility of logging media, while maximizing the value of content owners' video archives. The module's flexibility enables workflows for live broadcasting, archiving, player scouting, and video coaching -- all on a single unified platform.
FORK Logger supports multiple layouts per Production Server and is available for both Windows(R) and Mac(R) OS
