    Prime Focus Technologies secures patent for DAX & Digital Dailies

    MUMBAI: The United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued a patent expanding upon  Prime Focus Technologies’ (PFT)  existing patents for its DAX and Digital Dailies, part of PFT’s CLEAR Media ERP Suite.

     

    This patent strengthens and broadens PFT’s intellectual property around file based workflows and Digital Dailies.

     

    The new patent is for “a system and method for media content collaboration throughout a media production process,” broadening previous patents issued in 2013 and 2010.

     

    “This patent showcases the evolution, development and leadership that PFT continues to bring to its clients. The 929 patent strengthens our IP and is a reflection of the pioneering efforts of company and people that made it happen. The patent is seen as validation why 80 per cent of network series television uses DAX,” said Prime Focus Technologies president, North America Patrick Macdonald King.

     

    DAX with Digital Dailies allows for the secure exchange, collaboration and distribution of work-in-progress materials throughout the content creation lifecycle. This includes, but is not limited to, accessing who viewed, liked, shared and downloaded content (takes, scenes, cuts), incorporating user comments and timecode stamps for content review and approvals, transcoding, batch watermarking, image management and more.
