KYNO
Kyno is an easy-to-use media manager that works with a variety of industry-standard formats to give users a speedy search function and near-instant access to all their media assets, audio/visual content and still images.
Features include an ingest-free media browser with the ability to screen, log, rate, filter and tag all media assets in the one place. Along with a full transcoding toolset which allows batch conversion and export of numerous media assets in a single session.
“I’m often in situations where my colleagues can’t view and log footage from a particular camera as they don’t have an NLE on their computer. Kyno allows them to do this easily and efficiently. It’s the first program of its type that works with just about any camera, codec or format,” said Matthew Allard ACS, Filmmaker/DP.
“Kyno is a one-stop shop for viewing and logging daily rushes,” commented Craig Hansen, Senior Camera on ‘101 East’ – Al Jazeera International’s weekly current affairs program.
“The ability to check content on my hard drives from multiple camera formats on one program is a huge time saver! With Kyno, you don’t have to have your desktop full of players for each of your cameras, nor do you need an expensive NLE system. Kyno is ultra-efficient and it works with every codec I’ve thrown its way. You can’t ask for more than that.”
