Direct-to-disk recording and on-set monitoring with included Adobe OnLocation CS4
Record directly to disk and maximize camera image quality using software-based waveform and vectorscope tools to quickly calibrate your camera, check levels, and monitor your signal. Organize shots using metadata logged during the shoot.

End-to-end metadata workflow
Easily add metadata to clips both on set with Adobe OnLocation and while editing using Adobe Premiere Pro, for greater project intelligence. Use speech recognition technology to create text-based metadata that helps you organize and find your assets more efficiently during editing. Finally, pass the metadata through export for publishing to the web, enabling searchable video and helping to unlock new revenue streams.

Speech Search
Turn spoken dialogue into text-based, timecode-accurate, searchable metadata. Jump to a specific area of a shot by searching for keywords within the dialogue, and then use keywords to quickly locate and display what you're looking for--or even cut video based on the script.

Delivery to the web and mobile devices
Deliver video in a variety of formats for viewing on air and on DVD, online and offline with Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Media Player software, and on mobile devices with Adobe Flash Lite software.

Accelerated client review and approval with Adobe Clip Notes
Expedite review cycles and avoid miscommunication by using Adobe Clip Notes. Embed video into a PDF file. Then e-mail the file to clients to add timecode-specific comments that map to the Adobe Premiere Pro timeline.
