At IBC2014, Primestream is to showcase its FORK™ Production Suite v4.6, the latest version of its software platform for managing the automation of broadcast workflows.

The update includes revisions to the underlying structures of the version that debuted at the 2014 NAB Show. Upgrades increase overall system responsiveness and provide for the handling of a range of media assets. The improvements position FORK for the support of H.264, H.265, and mXF formats as well as 64-bit and 4K workflows.
"Behind this thinking is the intent that its customers feel secure that investments they make today pay big dividends in the future as they move toward the adoption of new formats and standards," a statement from the company said.
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 while gaining the benefits of the FORK media asset management and automation platform for I/O, logging, tagging, proxy editing, workflow management, and archiving.
Making its European premier at IBC2014, Primestream will also demo FORK Xchange Suite v3.0, a new 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 v3.0 features a completely redesigned iPad interface optimised for Apple iOS 7. Also new in Xchange, users can now manage non-video files such as audio, image, document, and project files. Direct integration with multiple transcode engines for proxy rending is also made available in Xchange v3.0.

Other new features and capabilities include:
• Xchange Uploader: Allows users to submit raw or finished packages directly into the FORK production environment via a Web-based interface.
• Xchange Downloader: Allows users to download source content in order to edit final packages locally, with the ability to choose among multiple qualities to download.
• Xchange Partial File Download: Users can download sections of media, allowing faster download workflows and eliminating the need to download entire media.
• Quick, Cuts-Only Editing: Allows users to create a rough cut with footage in Xchange and send the timeline to the FORK Production environment for distribution.

Making its European premier at IBC2014, Archive Bridge v1.0 is a new module for the FORK Production Suite that provides integration between archiving 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.
Also making its European debut at IBC2014, FORK Logger, the metadata tagging module in the FORK Production Suite, now integrates with in-depth data feeds from STATS. FORK Logger users can start their sessions with prepopulated placeholders that contain event data, such as team name, location information, rosters, conference name, and win/loss records, pulled from the STATS feed.
"In response to customer feedback, we have been hard at work further future-proofing the foundations of the FORK ecosystem," said Claudio Lisman, Primestream President and CEO. "With a completely rebuilt foundation, FORK is ready for the UHD future and our customers have a roadmap to take their operations to the next level."
