      CatDV – FocalPoint Server Integration

      Customers employing CatDV Server for media asset management will benefit by having direct media association from FPS to CatDV. A CatDV Enterprise deployment can automate metadata harvesting and catalog creation to match FocalPoint Server portfolios. This allows easy access to assets in CatDV by name association for further tagging and identification.

      For Example

      The following screen shots are taken from a live system where media input to FPS has been enabled on the portfolio object. CatDV Worker action will harvest metadata as new assets are discovered and automatically create server catalogs which match the portfolio name.
