CatDV Javascript Extensions

At IBC2017, Square Box Systems will unveil all-new Javascript extensions that make CatDV even more extensible and customizable than ever in Worker 7 and the system’s web and desktop clients. The new Javascript extensions enable customized field validation, the ability to set metadata based on other metadata, and the capability to establish sophisticated relationships between fields. For instance, it can be used to show different actions for different sports such as goals and free kicks for soccer or touchdowns for American football. 

Advanced Adobe Premiere Panel

Square Box will show the new Advanced version of its Adobe Premiere Panel, designed for Adobe Creative Cloud users. The original Adobe Premiere Panel enables any CatDV user to log in and search the CatDV database, and also browse production groups and catalogs, from within Adobe Premiere. The new Advanced version offers powerful enhancements, including keyboard navigation, quick previews, and a robust user interface that presents media, a player, and metadata all within the same panel. Other new tools include a frame-accurate player, the ability to update metadata (for example, to kick off a restore from an archive), and the capability to handle more metadata fields when exporting content to Premiere.
