FlowCaster for Secure Remote Collaboration

FlowCaster

is the world’s first “over the shoulder” remote monitoring solution for Adobe, Avid, Resolve, Desktop and SDI/HDMI workflows.

Now your collaborative production team can get secure, high quality/low latency remote monitoring anywhere in the world using their PCs, tablets, phones or Apple TVs.

The Pandemic Showed Us

that not everyone needs to be in the same room to get great work done. However, great work always requires high quality viewing, and standard desktop sharing apps just can’t rise to the task. FlowCaster works in conjunction with remote desktop and team communication tools to supply a high quality network signal from within your creative applications that can be sent securely and with minimal latency, to remote viewers anywhere.

FlowCaster’s direct plugins

and application support up to 12 bits per component of color, in YCbCr or RGB, along with up to 16 channels of 32 bit audio, multiple time code tracks and full CEA-608/708 and OP-47 closed captions. H.264, HEVC and JPEG-2000 codecs are supported and are optionally hardware accelerated. 128 and 256 bit end to end encryption are available, and best of all, no server interaction is required. You are completely in control.

While FlowCaster’s signals

can be played with free tools like VLC, for the lowest latency and highest quality, videoQC is available on Windows, Mac OS-X and Linux. Drastic also supplies a set of free Apple iOS, Google Android and Apple TV apps for receiving and monitoring FlowCaster outputs.

FlowCaster supports

a number of outputs, like UDP, RTP, RTMP, CDI, NDI, and WebRTC but mostly uses industry standard SRT and RIST protocols. This means that FlowCaster is compatible with tools from over 500 other companies and open source developers. The Haivision SRT Gateway can be used to route and duplicate signals. Also, there are hardware playback solutions from Haivision, AJA and Matrox, and other apps/playout software/multiviews from a wide range of companies.

Free Use of Our Tools for Those Working from Home Has Ended

This included videoQC, HDRScope/4KScope, MediaReactor for Avid and Adobe, and even Net-X-Code (which can be run on Windows as well as Linux). With more and more people returning to the office, this offer has ended. However you can still download and install the software you need, and get a two week temporary license to try our software.

Drastic Technologies today announced the release of the MediaReactor Lite plugin for Adobe^® Premiere^® Pro CC, part of the Adobe Creative Cloud^®. MediaReactor Lite provides access to the most requested range of file formats directly from within Adobe without additional import or conversion.

MediaReactor Lite also lets you export to Sony XAVC-S, H.264/AAC MPEG-4, and all the most important broadcast and post production MOV formats.

MediaReactor Lite for Adobe builds on our 20 years of excellence in the MediaReactor suite of transcoding products,” said James Brooks, CTO, Drastic Technologies Ltd. “The Lite version for Adobe enhances editing workflows by providing seamless access to a critical set of modern and legacy file formats.”
