Postmap tracks media on storage systems



Designed to work with both Mac OS X and Windows platforms, Postmap enables users to immediately locate folders and files stored locally, remotely, offline or online.

Studio Network Solutions (SNS) used NAB to demonstrate Postmap — new software that can find, manage and catalog files located on a SAN, file server and removable storage such as FireWire drives and DVDs.

Postmap is designed to fill the void in the post-production industry that exists between simple OS-native search tools and complex digital asset management applications.

Designed to work with both Mac OS X and Windows platforms, Postmap enables users to immediately locate folders and files stored locally, remotely, offline or online. It also allows the creation and attachment of metadata to describe and classify specific files and folders.

This custom “tagged” information can be used to reduce search times, share production notes and organize files to create a more efficient workflow process.

Postmap has a platform of utilities that can be tailored to the needs of creative workgroups of all sizes. These include scan/search, an indexing and search platform; enhanced metadata, a set of templates of free text and data fields; and workflow, which extends the enhanced metadata feature in such a way that enables a company to define the steps in its “workflow scenarios.”

Postmap will be available for purchase through SNS resellers in July. A trial version of Postmap will be available for download from the SNS Web site.
