In a fast-paced environment like yours, media has to be gathered, prepped and approved in a matter of minutes. It's why Chorus is the solution of choice for commercial sports teams needing power and agility.
Resilient file syncing or uploading directly from the camera back means photographers can deliver shots to editors in just one step. Crucial information is added in record time with cascading metadata and AI tagging.
When match results and team shots have to be shared right away, Chorus's built-in production tools come into their own. Feedback can be left on files or containers, and users can create their own crops, color spaces and formats from a menu of preset options.
Outreach and engagement is driven by fresh content and effective delivery, and players have huge social media followings. Bring personalized images and video to your MVPs to distribute on their own social channels, while public-facing hubs share content with news outlets and fan sites.
"Third Light's DAM solution is perfect to manage the end-to-end photo process: from the AS Roma official photographers uploading, tagging and adding metadata using Adobe Lightroom integration, to the internal and external users downloading."
Fabrizio Preti - Technology Systems Expert - AS Roma
Read case studyChorus can scale to storing millions of files, organized into folders for each season, match or event you run. The potential value of this content to fans, the media and other partners increases dramatically when the folders are tagged with basic metadata, as the search tools can find specific people, places or dates in the collection and help you retrieve or publish them. It's an incredible opportunity to develop a rich and engaging service for fans, too.
Once your library of photos is in Chorus, you can share and allocate files very easily (either in folders or by using smart collections that pick up players' names). After logging in, players can find their own content in a folder that shows everything recent and can use it on their own social media accounts, for example. They can also use our mobile upload app to add their own photos and videos from their phone.
If your aim is to get content directly from cameras, through to approval and out to the web, we have a solution that can eliminate friction and delays. Uploading directly from laptops (or the camera backs) via SFTP brings the content to Chorus. Workflow and labelling features help editors quickly sort through the best shots, and then publishing them is a single click final stage that can be integrated with your CMS or even automated completely. We've built in a content delivery network (CDN) to cope with surges in demand for new content, too.
We're experienced suppliers to sports teams, and know that your budget will need to generate real benefits. Chorus is an affordable and high-impact investment that gives you exceptional value, whether it's hosted in the cloud or on your own servers.
No problem. We've written an eBook on how to create a strong business case for DAM which provides lots of useful tips and guidance to help you get the buy-in you need in your team.
