Trek chairman and CEO Henn Tan. NextInsight file photoTREK 2000, in collaboration with Panasonic Systems Asia Pacific, is creating a global first, once again.
It is a marketplace, which is cloud-based, where journalists can upload and, in the next moment, offer to sell their news videos to broadcasters.
Journalists just need a special version of Trek's Flucard and a smartphone with an Internet connection.
The high-speed transmission is carried out wirelessly and directly from the video camera by tapping on the Wi-Fi capabilities of the FluCard, the world’s first Wi-Fi-enabled SD card.
Once their videos are uploaded to the cloud-based system dubbed Cloud Stringers, the journalists can peg an asking price for the videos.
Broadcasters can preview the videos (in low-resolution) and buy them in the next moment, and download them in high-resolution.
“Where breaking news is concerned, time is of the essence. As such, Cloud Stringers is set to be a game changer for the media and broadcasting industries, as data transfer and management will become much more efficient. It is a privilege to be working with Panasonic again, and we look forward to creating another world-first together,” said Henn Tan, Executive Chairman and CEO of Trek 2000.
The journalists can easily check their accounts to find out how much sales their videos have made.
Trek said that users are guaranteed the highest levels of encryption, data redundancy and watermark security features.
