CatDV Server Solutions

If you want a flexible and cost effective content management system that allows your editors and producers to concentrate on the creative side of the process, rather than tedious file management issues, then you need look no further than CatDV server-based solutions from Square Box Systems.

With the CatDV Workgroup or Enterprise Server you get all the features and benefits of the standalone CatDV application, but all the clip metadata needed to help you organise your project is accessible via a central shared database, letting you quickly and easily find any clip - whoever worked on it and wherever the media files are stored.

What does the CatDV Server give you?
  • Central clip repository containing clip metadata and thumbnails, with links to previews (and original media files, if available online).
  • Powerful search dialog to search across all the clips and catalogs in the repository and bring back a result set of matching clips.
  • You can save and work on catalogs locally, for example on a laptop, and update the central repository when the connection is restored. (You get the opportunity to resolve any save conflicts that may arise).
  • The optional Web Client module provides access to CatDV Enterprise Server to anyone with a web browser
