BLAM Plug-Ins & Connectors

Featured plug-ins that will be demonstrated on the Blue Lucy stand at IBC2016 include:

The Adobe Premiere Plug-in which enables access to all the core asset and workflow management features of BLAM from within the Premiere editing software. The plug-in also enables a hi-res / low-res workflow allowing the ultimate in flexible operations - particularly for large file formats such as 4K.

The AWS Cloud Connector Plug-in which enables Amazon S3 or Glacier storage to be managed by the BLAM Storage Manager. The connector provides seamless integration so that Amazon's secure, resilient and scalable storage can be used like an on premise array. It enables AWS Glacier to be used as a low cost and scalable alternative to LTO. The connector also helps control costs by providing storage monitoring and rules based access to the restore process.

The Media Importer Plug-in which is designed primarily as a solid state media card import tool, but is effective with any source medium. This tool provides a clip preview player and allows direct, secure import to BLAM. When used in conjunction with the BLAM Tailor Plug-in it allows users to instantly join clips which span different folders or cards and provides rough cut editing. For remote operations or when importing to a cloud hosted BLAM, the tool can optionally include UDP file acceleration.
