Use Cases

Share & review previs, storyboards & scripts

Weed out any possible issues, revise ideas and even change artistic direction – before the camera captures a single frame with Flex. Creative and technical partners at different global locations can review and approve previs content/ join remote live casting sessions and offer instant feedback on designs, helping speed up the pre-production workflow.

Review live feeds straight from the camera

Stream live, encrypted video to your crew, creatives or clients straight from the camera or video village, enabling them to review content in real-time via a web browser on their personal device. {/} Creatives can provide instant feedback to those on-set and see the changes happen immediately and footage across all units can be monitored to ensure consistency in the creative vision.

Host real-time editorial reviews

Editors can switch between sharing the output of their edit session via SDI, (frame/ colour accurate output), and sharing their desktop via HDMI - allowing them to share their edit software, complete with timeline, bins/media libraries and source viewer for a collaborative editing experience.{/} Flex works with ultra-low latency even with low bandwidth availability, so you get rock-solid performance and playback and the pace of their cut isn’t...

Perform real-time audio reviews with remote collaborators

Pivot offers 16 channels of uncompressed audio and a truly next-level review experience. Users don’t have to worry about downmixing, and nothing gets lost in translation. Composers, sound designers, sound editors and sound-effects artists can all use Pivot to stream frame-accurate footage to remote collaborators and execs in real time – creating a screening room-quality review, at the click of a button.

Host VFX shot reviews remotely & in real-time

For VFX review you also have the added complication of having a greater number of stream viewers – as VFX artists are often working on one small piece of a larger puzzle in large, distributed teams. Flex can handle up to 40 viewers concurrently within a session and supports high-quality streaming content of up to 2K DCI resolution with up to 10-bit, 4:2:2 colour.

Bring real-time colour review to remote teams

Where bandwidth is an issue ClearView Flex can be used for 'light' grading reviews - giving colourists a user-friendly tool to host frame and colour-accurate reviews with up to 40 viewers in up to 2K 10-bit 4:2:2 at very low bitrates across all consumer devices including laptop/desktops, iPads and Apple TV 4K.
