4. it is compatible with all Apple iPad-approved video files as well as still files (Tiff, JPEG, etc) and can be used for real-time playback as well as pre-rendered files from RC-X, Compressor, etc.
5. LiVEPLAY Server will be a companion application that manages all metadata tagging, security, permissions, customized exporting and serving of media
This product is designed to work well with short commercial shoots, medium feature shoots, and long-term television series shoots. It is a scaleable app that can serve as a simple automatic playback review tool, or can be used as an advanced production tool that is compatible with Scripty tools and editorial import organization. By having licenses based around different timelines, users will not only get an affordable tool with virtually unlimited access, but they can easily control permissions and security even when numerous iPads are online.
