FORK Logger 1.0
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 (MAM) 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'sContent 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 brings speed, accuracy, and flexibility to the task 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.
