FileCatalyst Enables Primestream’s FORK to Accelerate MAM and Automation Transfers
Ottawa, Canada and Miami, FL (PRWEB) September 02, 2014 -- Unlimi-Tech Software, Inc., a pioneer in managed file transfers and the creator of FileCatalyst, an Emmy® Award winning accelerated file transfer solution, and Primestream®, a leader in advanced automation and asset management software, today announced an integration that will help FORK users to significantly increase the ingest and distribution speeds of file-based media assets within the Fork Production platform.
FileCatalyst's UDP-based file transfer technology transfers digital media at maximum rates without being impeded by network impairments, such as latency and packet loss experienced with TCP/IP. While TCP/IP forms the backbone of the Internet and is the basis of popular FTP and HTTP protocols, it is far from ideal for sustained data transfers. The FileCatalyst protocol offers incredible speed gains versus traditional methods, allowing users transfer speeds of up to hundreds of times faster than FTP.
“With the tight integration of FileCatalyst with the FORK Production Suite, the process of ingesting and distributing media assets for broadcasters, post-production houses, production facilities, and corporate media departments will be much faster and a better overall experience than with traditional file transfer methods,” said Alan Atkinson, vice president of business development at Unlimi-Tech. “We are excited about the opportunity to be working with Primestream.”
The FORK Production Suite is a world class media asset management (MAM) and automation toolset - complete with live, tape and file-based ingest, unlimited descriptive metadata logging and multi-field search, real-time proxy generation, lo-res editing, and craft editor integration – but it's also a powerful facility management framework that integrates with nearly all major broadcast hardware.
“Broadcasters and media professionals who are using FORK for automation or asset management are always looking for faster and more efficient ways to get the job done,” said Todd Fantz, senior director of technology at Primestream. “This integration gives them the transfer speeds and convenience that they require in an affordable, scalable package.”
