Primestream Unveils FORK Production Suite v4.6

Primestream has unveiled the FORK™ Production Suite v4.6, an upgrade to its software platform for media asset management (MAM) and production automation.

FORK Production Suite v4.6 features the U.S. premier of Workflow Manager™ v1.0, which is a new add-on module for designing internal video production processes across multiple departments.
Workflow Manager is suited for all IT infrastructures, including broadcast, postproduction, and corporate enterprise.
"FORK Production Suite v4.6 provides deeper third-party integrations and powerful new modules that further simplify the process of live and file-based ingest, editing, logging, distributing, and archiving content for broadcasters, postproduction houses, production facilities, and corporate media departments," a statement from the company said.
"These enhancements combine to ensure that users can perform edit-while-capture on the three major non-linear editing (NLE) platforms — Adobe® Premiere® Pro (CS6 and Creative Cloud), Avid® Media Composer®, and Apple® Final Cut® Pro X — to enable faster turnaround times, with an increased ability to interact and collaborate."
"Deep integration with a MAM is something that existing craft editors have long needed, because the days of working in an edit room in isolation are gone, and collaborative editing is now essential to a media company's bottom line," said Claudio Lisman, Primestream president and CEO.
"At the same time, editors have to be able to edit in near real-time in order to meet the demand for quick-turn content. With FORK v4.6, we've optimised the software so that the FORK MAM works more intimately with the most popular NLEs and ensures that users can start working without waiting for content to finish ingesting.
"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."
FORK v4.6 is designed to be more connected, according to the company, and enables two-way communication with popular craft editors. It also features expanded APIs that enable new archiving workflows with SGL, Quantum, and Atempo, enabling FORK users to browse, search, and filter archived content inside their off-line storage solutions.
FORK is available for Mac® and Windows® operating systems as well as hybrid environments.
Primestream will demonstrate FORK v4.6 at the 2014 NAB Show at booth SL10216.
