Clip Ingest
FORK"s Ingest module automates ingest of high and standard definition content using a centralized volume for multiple user access. Operators can manually ingest multiple feeds from live sources using gang controls or from tape decks or choose to schedule sources to ingest in the future and on a recurring basis. While ingesting, live user markers can be placed with metadata, including searchable descriptions and keywords. FORK offers full remote VTR deck control via RS-422/232 and can handle incoming footage from a wide variety of cameras and formats.

Content Navigator - Media Asset Management
Users search and browse media assets through keywords and by normal/smart bins using the FORK Content Navigator. Producers, editors, media managers and loggers can simultaneously access and work with media in FORK. With the use of smart bins, any metadata field is dynamically transformed into a property that can filter, sort and manage content. Users can access clips, create sub-clips, generate user markers, enter metadata and use "Send To Actions" to automate transcoding, Final Cut Pro Integration, archive/restore and publishing operations.

Fork Editor
FORK Editor provides cuts-only editing, audio control and a voiceover tools that frees producers to complete packages from the desktop, without ever leaving the FORK Production Suite. FORK Editor utilizes the QuickTime proxy format with high quality and small file size, enabling users to edit over local or remote network connections. When a more complex edit with transitions and effects is required, FORK Editor easily sends projects to Final Cut Pro (even during ingest). It also provides automatic XML recognition of key metadata including file name, date created and frame accurate clip durations. Projects sent from FORK Editor import into Final Cut Pro with the same timeline, bin structure, metadata and markers.

Live Assist Playout
For mission-critical playout, the FORK Live Assist module enables operators to easily push content directly to air or live presentation using an attractive, user-friendly interface that can also be controlled from external USB control surfaces, or even GPO enabled production switcher, allowing complete integration into existing controls rooms. Options include loop, sync roll, hold on last frame and play- through, ensuring broadcasts or presentations never go to black. Live Assist is fully integrated with industry-standard newsroom systems such as iNEWS, ENPS, OCTOPUS and NORCOM. This integration allows for importing of rundowns of entire shows created by producers in a Newsroom Control System (NRCS), including placeholder clips of items yet to be edited. Live updates of the rundowns can be managed from the NRCS or the Live Assist operator can take local control. Multiple playout channels in Live Assist can also be used to push content (such as graphic loops) to studio monitors for a rich production look.
