The use of portfolios in FocalPoint Server can provide a convenient drag and drop target for related assets. the Location, Broadcast Time, Media Type, Destination, Status and Version can all be populated. This gives a great starting point for more detailed logging and search. The intelligence built in to the folder path can be extracted into separate CatDV fields, i.e. With project files being stored in this folder and media being stored in a subfolder:ĬatDV’s automation engine (CatDV Worker) can watch for these new projects folders being created and automatically ingest the project files and associated media assets, ready for logging and search. "/qls_AFG_BKFST_MTG_TV_AP_This is a demo_v1" In this example the above project data leads to a storage location of: In FocalPoint, projects are set up with appropriate tags: for example a project “This is a demo 1” may have Location: Afganistan, Broadcast Time:Breakfast, Media Type:Motion Graphics, Destination: TV, Status: Animated Prototype (per the image below):įocalPoint then chooses the right place to store the files according to the storage and naming policies configured for the organization. Ultimately the combination of CatDV and FocalPoint Server can lead to more consistency, quicker searches and more media being repurposed i.e saving time and cost.

This means projects and their assets from FocalPoint can be shared more widely through the organisation using CatDV’s desktop, web and mobile clients, plus the door is opened to easy integration with other systems. Projects can be created using FocalPoint Server using standard templates to enforce naming and storage standards. CatDV’s Worker can analyse these projects and intelligently ingest into CatDV. As a result the two products working together can support some highly sophisticated workflows. One of it’s best features is creating consistency as new projects and assets are created. CatDV has strength in Media Asset Management, particularly workflow automation and search.
Our colleagues at iMedia have worked with us to create an integration with their media project organisation and management tool: FocalPoint Server.įocalPoint Server is a workflow collaboration tool: a new way to create, version, track and search all your editing projects, graphics and documents.Īs a result FocalPoint Server is a great tool for media project organisation and management. CatDV’s has a near unrivalled ability to work with other hardware and tools.
