Primestream Prepares For Broadcast India

Primestream has announced the products it will be displaying at this year's Broadcast India show.

FORK Production Suite v4.6 – FORK 4.6 is the latest version of the FORK Production Suite for managing the automation of broadcast workflows. With new modules, functionality and integrations with leading broadcast hardware and software vendors, FORK 4.6 includes major revisions to the underlying structures of FORK 4.5 that debuted at the 2014 NAB Show.
FORK is positioned for the support of H.264, H.265 and MXF formats as well as 64-bit and 4k workflows.
FORK v4.6 also includes deep two-way integrations with nonlinear editors like Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer and Apple Final Cut Pro X. The integrations support edit-while-capture workflows with XDCAM, ProRes, and AVC-Intra.

FORK Xchange Suite 3.0 – FORK Xchange Suite 3.0 will feature a major upgrade to the application that gives broadcasters instant Web access to content on their FORK Production servers from any Windows, Mac, or tablet device.
Xchange 3.0 includes a redesigned iPad interface optimized for Apple iOS 7. Users can now manage non-video files such as audio, images, documents and project files. Direct integration with Telestream's Episode Engine for proxy rendering is also available in Xchange 3.0.
Other new features include Xchange Uploader, allowing users to submit raw or finished packages directly into the FORK production environment via a Web-based interface, Xchange Downloader, enabling the download of source content to edit final packages locally, with the ability to choose among multiple qualities to download, Xchange Partial File Download, allowing customers to download sections of media and Quick, Cuts-Only editing, enabling the creation of rough cuts with footage in Xchange to send the timeline to the FORK Production environment for distribution.

FORK Logger with STATS – the metadata tagging module in the FORK Production Suite now integrates with in-depth data feeds from STATS, the global leader in sports information, technology, and content.
FORK Logger users can start their sessions with pre-populated placeholders that contain rich event data pulled from the STATS feed. Working from these populated placeholders enables users to avoid manually entering data and increases the accuracy of the descriptive information.

FORK Archive Bridge 1.0 – a new module for the FORK Production Suite that provides integration between archival solutions and the FORK media asset management and production automation platform. Archive Bridge enables disaster recovery workflows and interconnects multiple production environments with a central archive point.

"The Indian broadcast market is at an exciting inflection point as it moves from tape-based, manually intensive operations into the future of all digital file-based workflows with sophisticated automation layers that optimize processes from ingest to archive," said Warren Arenstein, Senior Vice President, Business Development, Primestream.
"The number of stations in India has grown at a rapid pace over the last 10 years and now stands at well over a thousand, which makes for a staggering amount of media assets that need to be managed.
"The market is ripe for MAM automation, and visitors at Broadcast India will see how Primestream's FORK and Xchange Suite bring everything under control for efficient, end-to-end management of complex content creation and delivery workflows."
