Purple Logging

Purple Logging is a broadcast logging or compliance recording system suitable for all requirements from 1 or 2 channel systems to the larger and/or complex installations.

The Purple logging system is built with separate capture and recording components for complete flexibility and efficiency of system design and storage utilisation. Component building blocks are the VNOC capture card, housed in either 3U or 1U chassis’ depending on the system design, and TeraStor™ intelligent storage devices for maximum resilience to data loss.

The Purple Log Browser software, which comes with a free multi-user licence, is intuitive and easy to use. From the Purple Log Browser you can review logged video, audio and other service components, including subtitles. Clips can be selected by date and time or by using the time-line. Copies of clips can be emailed in Mpeg format for viewing with Windows Media Player or in STV-Log file format for viewing on a stand alone copy of the Log Browser. Clips can also be exported directly to DVD with burnt in timecode, subtitles
and selected audio.
