New Catdv 11 And Catdv Web 2 Deliver A Step-Change In Easy Media Asset Management At Ibc 2014 (7.J15C)
New MAM software and web platforms empower content owners to repurpose and monetise their media assets
Stratford-upon-Avon, UK, Sept 10, 2014 - Square Box Systems (www.squarebox.com), developer of leading digital asset management systems (DAM/MAM) will showcase CatDV 11, the next-generation of its asset management software, plus CatDV Web 2, a radical new approach to online media asset management, during IBC 2014, 12-16 September, in Amsterdam (Hall 7.J15C).
The new features and toolsets in CatDV 11 and CatDV Web2, along with fresh workflow capabilities between Adobe Premiere Pro CC editorial software and Adobe Anywhere real-time collaborative platform, empower content owners to more easily repurpose and monetize their media assets, and significantly improve end-to-end workflow efficiency from production and post production, through to delivery and distribution.
CatDV 11 and CatDV Web 2 build on the strengths of previous versions of these leading MAM platforms, and deliver a step-change in performance and capabilities for small, medium and large enterprises alike. CatDV Web 2 in particular provides a fresh, clean user interface that is completely intuitive to non-technical users, making it much easier for marketers and sales teams repurpose material and to monetize their content, said Dave Clack, CEO of Square Box Systems. With the latest advances in CatDV media asset management systems it's now far simpler and faster to perform the whole range management tasks via CatDV on an even wider range of production materials.
CatDV 11
Driven largely by feedback from customers, the key new features of CatDV 11 include: a 64-bit architecture; native-capable playback engine, supporting the very latest digital cinematography cameras and international broadcast delivery standards; a dramatically enhanced U/I, with new media management tools; improved integration with major video editing and creative collaboration platforms; and additional functions for enterprise-scale deployments.
CatDV 11's new 64-bit architecture delivers a faster and more responsive overall performance. CatDV's ability to play a wide range of high-resolution media formats is unrivalled, and the new CatDV11 extends this support with a brand-new player architecture supporting the latest broadcast formats as well as native RED Epic and AVCHD/MTS footage.
The cleaner, more intuitive user interface of CatDV 11 retains the familiarity of previous software versions for existing users, whilst being more accessible to fresh users. Key features include: the creation of workspaces for convenient browsing, ingest, logging and search functions; tabbed browsing, which simplifies the process of working with multiple catalogues and query results; user-defined colour-coding of smart labels; a simplified tree navigation that allows the grouping of useful functions together that improve workflow; pop-up panels with metadata preview; and a hover-to-scrub facility that enables users to quickly preview their content. The addition of global metadata fields within CatDV 11 help to make large, enterprise deployments and automation even easier
CatDV Web 2
Whilst CatDV 11 is an evolution, CatDV Web 2 is a revolution - taking CatDV's Web Client facility to a whole new level. CatDV Web 2 delivers a completely new, standalone web interface for CatDV. It can be used as the only interface to CatDV or can co-exist with existing web and desktop clients.
A clean, modern and simple design provides intuitive and powerful media and metadata management toolsets via an entirely browser-driven interface, suited for cloud deployments increase the reach of CatDV outside typical production or engineering teams.
CatDV panels for Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Adobe Anywhere
CatDV is renowned for its of ease of integration with third party systems, and Square Box Systems has worked closely with Abode to improve workflow capabilities between CatDV 11 and Adobe Premiere Pro CC editorial software and Adobe Anywhere real-time collaborative platform.
An integrated CatDV panel within Premiere Pro supports a wide variety of search mechanisms, sub-clips, sequences and markers. Metadata and footage can also be previewed. CatDV for Anywhere adds the power of CatDV media management to Adobe Anywhere for video: sharing CatDV's content seamlessly with Anywhere productions, within CatDV and via Adobe Premiere Pro CC.
