Miami, Florida(28 Jul 2015)

At the 2015 IBC Show (Stand 7.D21), Primestream^® will demonstrate Xchange™ Suite v4.5, a major upgrade to the application that gives broadcasters and video professionals instant Web access to content on their FORK Production servers from any PC or tablet device. The new software update introduces closed-captioning features in Xchange, enabling powerful workflows for searching previewing, sorting, and accessing captioning data for intuitive content production. Control your distribution with new publishing features for natively exporting to OTT network and social media outlets. Xchange v4.5 also features Insight™, a flexible new comment, rating and media activity tracking system that brings enhanced interactivity to collaboration.

Xchange Suite v4.5 now brings the ability to download and import content, metadata and markers from Xchange into leading Non-Linear Editors, such as Apple^® Final Cut Pro^® X and Adobe^® Premiere^® Pro CC. Xchange 4.5 now features a built-in panel for Adobe Premiere Pro. Through an intuitive new interface, users can now quickly search the Xchange media asset database from within Premiere Pro, select media, and simply import those items into a Premiere Pro project. When an edited sequence is complete, users can export the project into a finished file, ready for distribution.

Also making its IBC debut is Mobile2Air® 3.0, a major upgrade to the iOS app that seamlessly integrates remote field reporting with Primestream’s FORK™ Production Suite, and now seamlessly with Xchange. Mobile2Air 3.0 enables recording, uploading and reviewing of videos fast and securely from an iPhone® or iPad®. The update allows uploading and reviewing from anywhere across Mobile2Air and Xchange environments. Mobile2Air 3.0 integrates with Aspera’s FASP™ upload acceleration technology, the proven standard for the high-speed data transport.
