Some details
Our client was one of the largest national news agencies.
When photographers work at events, the workflow to get a shot from the camera to the new agency’s website can be quite involved. Typically, the picture first gets transmitted from a Wi-Fi enabled digital camera to a local computer, for example, the photographer’s own laptop. From there, it is uploaded to the agency’s server, where the photo editor further
processes it as needed and uploads to the website or makes it otherwise available for consumption.Solution: First Line’s engineers designed and implemented a brand new photo management system specifically geared towards large-scale events. The system supports multiple users (photojournalists), whose cameras send images in real time, as they are being taken, to a local server.
