The Pipeline-Digital AutoLog 5.0 SDK is a "software development kit" which allows you to create your own customized logging system. The package is a fully unlocked template that allows you to customize the template to suite your needs. Use these scripts to build a logging system that works exactly the way you want it to. AutoLog 5 is Pipeline Digital's all-new solution for videotape logging. Driven by the powerful FileMaker Pro database engine, AutoLog 5 combines the power of FileMaker's searching and sorting abilities with Pipeline's deck control and time code capabilities.
AutoLog gives you complete remote control of your video deck, grabs time code, and if you have a Quicktime (Mac) or Video for Windows (Windows) video capture board, you may also be able to grab thumbnail pictures in your logs. AutoLog provides many layouts, and unique ways to look at your data. These screens let you examine, export, and print out your logs. Batch lists (or EDLs) are easily created and exported to formats for all of the major nonlinear editors.
This package includes the CM9 Mini-DIN 8-Pin to RS-422 Deck Control Cable, which allows you to connect from a legacy Mini-DIN 8-Pin connector found on older Mac computers to the RS-422 socket of a deck. For FireWire Macs, all that is required is a FireWire capable deck for both deck control and video capture.
Note! Although current Macintoshes do not come equipped with a serial port, all RS-422, RS-232, and LANC decks require a serial connection. To control these machines, you must add a serial adapter to your Mac.
