NAB Show Awards 5th Kind’s CORE Product of the Year

‍

We’re excited to share that 5th Kind has won the NAB Show Product of the Year for Asset Management, Automation, and Playout!  Many thanks to the National Association of Broadcasters who honored us with this award and who will be presenting it (remotely, of course) at NAB Show New York on October 20, 2020.  

The award is a culmination of several CORE product developments this year that make working remotely safe, smarter, and more efficient.  

From prep through post, with easy-to-use, web-based tools, CORE’s innovative, relevant, secure, and flexible solutions are a proven winning combination.

CORE

‍
At the foundation of our products is CORE. CORE is a secure digital asset management and workflow orchestration tool that combines best-of-breed in capture, convert, organization, search, collaborate and distribution into one unified platform.

As a metadata-based asset system, CORE allows you to build out taxonomies and create a unified structure to orchestrate creative reviews and approvals for your end-to-end workflows.  

And now, newly extensible features like CORE Live and CORE Sync provide teams with the tools to manage any number of workflows digitally, collaborate globally and communicate in real-time.

When the pandemic hit, our clients experienced a whole new set of pain points. In response, we pivoted quickly to add a synchronized, real-time, remote collaboration tool that worked with the existing CORE framework.

CORE Sync

‍
Created for team content reviews, dailies notes, or conceptual presentations, CORE SYNC is a individually watermarked, real-time collaboration tool that can handle creative reviews and ensures users are looking at the same frame, page, or image with no installs, no file downloads, and no hardware. Supported across web browsers, mobile devices, and AppleTV, you can view, annotate and collaborate securely in real-time.

‍

This spring and summer, we had the fortunate opportunity to collaborate with the Entertainment Technology Center at USC on its Ripple Effect project. The project focused on remote production, Covid compliance, and blending 2D and 3D elements in live production. Participating in the project both accelerated product development and expanded our solutions to remote production and capture workflows, further supporting our end-to-end production management and studio asset management pipelines.

CORE Live

With the convergence of LED walls, photogrammetry and Unreal, all under the threat of Covid, sets will be more connected and have more challenges than ever before. CORE Live is a remote creative tool that allows any user to view the live production feed and give feedback in real time. Live aids the return to production safely by helping to minimize the number of people on set. CORE Live’s capture capabilities assist with editorial deliverables with witness cam feed to support health and safety guidelines and monitor contact tracing.

• Individually watermarked, high quality, live streaming platform
• Real-time live stream capture and metadata enabling editorial to provide a first pass within minutes
