FORK playout enhances the already impressive automation even further. Integration of GFX and CG is enhanced by the availability of tremendous comprehensive data field capabilities. A cutting edge facility management system allows for a fairly priced master control that doesn’t need to be under continual observation. Elegant redundancies help ensure optimum durability. Content can be managed remotely, making this ideal for a client with more than one studio. It allows comprehensive integration from inception to the airwaves.

Primestream's Workflow Manager Has everything under control for worry-free operation!

With the FORK Live Assist module, control room playout is enabled, allowing for precise control. Codec Support allows the use of Sony® XDCAM®, Apple ProRes®, Panasonic® DVCPRO HD®, Avid DNxHD®, and AVC-Intra. This is a modular portion of FORK Production Suite for control room playout. With the FORK’s VTR and VDCP simulation capabilities, along with its hearty support for GPI (General Purpose Interface)-based events, Live Assist can be directly controlled from most any major production switcher. Included smart bin technology assists with data management and media ease of use. The final product can then be posted quickly on the airwaves directly.

Primestream is dedicated to its customers, the industry, and the science and quality behind their products.

The FORK LOGGER is yet another example of this. This progressive graphical user interface (GUI) has the tools to support numerous layouts each system. With this dynamic tool you can work live or from memory. Content can be easily manipulated at the GUI. That, in itself, is yet another example of Primestream’s innovation; products should become easier to use the more they are modernized and advanced. Rube Goldberg can keep his complexity - the cutting edge should be simple smooth and efficient. That is what Primestream delivers.

FORK Logger keeps track of every detail!

“With FORK 4.6, we’ve optimized the software so that the FORK MAM works more intimately with the most popular NLEs and ensures that users can work without waiting for content to finish ingesting,” explains Claudio Lisman, Primestream President and CEO. “This capability means that media operations with tight deadlines can reduce the time it takes to turn content around and, with the time they save, create better stories — interactively, collaboratively, and without sacrificing quality.”
