CatDV’s has a near unrivalled ability to work with other hardware and tools. Our colleagues at iMedia have worked with us to create an integration with their media project organisation and management tool: FocalPoint Server.
FocalPoint Server is a workflow collaboration tool: a new way to create, version, track and search all your editing projects, graphics and documents.
As a result FocalPoint Server is a great tool for media project organisation and management. 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. As a result the two products working together can support some highly sophisticated workflows.
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.
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.
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.
Take a look at this ‘How to’ document for more information on technical integration.
