Metadata Server

Schedule you productions by typing the details ONCE for use throughout the process - using a server that fits in the palm of your hand

What Is Metadata?

Metadata explains data. Whether recording media or scheduling a project, metadata gives the information exchanged the needed context and documentation

Production Server

Automate Your Production Schedule and callbacks

Our system automates LOGGING PRODUCTION DATA such as GPS points, camera data, and producers notes from

to use THROUGHOUT your workflow like production reports, script versioning, and release forms

Track Your Production Assets

Schedule your facilities usage as well as track the props, costumes and vehicles used for productions

A System of Applications

At its heart, the Productionline is:

Scheduling for Crews and Resources

Need to schedule another location shoot? Generate crew calls? Accessible by any iPhone or laptop is your office. PRODUCTIONLINE server runs within any operating system (just like your browser)

Mobile Applications and RFID

A host of mobile application to gather and display production data

Assisted Metadata Logging

The most time-intensive category is logging what is visible in the frame. With the Productionline System you can use subject matter exports

Session "EXTENDS"

Extend popups randomly ask users to extend their session for two minute metadata logging. If successful, they can enter a drawing or fulfill a quota

Distributed Media Logging

At its heart, production is about media but what good is footage if you can't find it later? It needs to be logged

Logging On Location

Using any smartphone or tablet, you can record the camera and script information. Others can fill in various levels of subject identification. From anywhere.

Assisted Metadata Logging

The most time-intensive category is logging what is visible in the frame. With the Productionline: Media System you can utilize subject matter experts or crew anywhere in the world

Project Scheduling

Project and crew scheduling is the most important source material for production metadata. Using pre-configured templates of crews and locations, you can quickly build a shooting schedule.

Use your criteria to interactively find the best combination of schedule, location, and cost. Catalog all the details of your LOCATIONS and acquire new annotated locations(with resources marked by GPS) from the internet.

Use the TechScout tablet application

to fully document your locations for future use. Upload them to the Location Bin(tm) and access other's documented locations outside your area

Contacts and Confirmations

Projects also involve discussions (conversations or compositions) and are important data that end successfully with a confirmation. There are four types of confirmation events:

• Confirming future attendance for an event

• Uploading projects and timelines as confirmation

• Confirm that an event happened as planned

After a schedule has been confirmed, the server alerts participants, confirms attendance and uploads HTML with project particulars (including Google directions). These can be accessed securely after receiving links through email or text.

If you have discussions with an associate or prospective client, that too can be logged and kept track of

Mobile Apps Available

TechScout

Document and transmits every amenity on a location set through pictures and GPS. This is how to document a Technical Scouting trip for later reference

Boards

Create, document, or alter script according to pre-sized storyboards, downloaded stock images, or footage. Voiceover recording and visual prompter included

ScriptSuper

Uses 'Boards' interface to document changing location conditions using a locked script. Also monitor the daily schedule transmitted from AD application

AD / UPM

Monitor daily shooting schedule and correct shooting script when needed. Also gives direct secure access to the main server and generate daily reports

Slate AC

Generate and display project data in a slate format. Send camera metadata and timecode from location to server

Media & Database Archiving

The Productionline system is based on keeping three copies of all media -- two physical copies and the third copy should always be off-site storage.

We include a Dropbox account along with the heartbeat webserver for all continuing support customers. Amazon S3 accounts are also available

Enhanced  Throughput

But when you need extra power for transcoding or streaming, add another server sized for your project with iSCSI shared storage for projects, proxies and Client Approvals locally and over the internet

On-location Media Duplication

The Productionline system is based on duplicating media cards and making copies of all media. To do that, both the media mogul and enhanced versions can make multiple copies of cards and drives

High efficiency, low energy usage

In fact, use the portability of the Productionline to backup files on location. Take advantage of optional SSD ingest speeds to accelerate multiple cards at once. Or, you can always backup to USB drives

LTO Library Compatibility

Make sure your data is safe with full database and media incremental backups

Some clients (including studios) demand backup copies on LTO tape. The Productionline fulfills that need by supporting both LTO tape drives and library modules.
