DreamCatcher™ BRAVO is the latest addition to the DreamCatcher™ Production Suite. BRAVO allows producers to maximize revenues of a live broadcast. BRAVO unifies multiple DreamCatcher™ applications to allow users to produce high quality live content at a lower cost. BRAVO's innovative platform is ideal for entertainment, gaming and sports productions.
BRAVO's flexible user interface uses Evertz' VUE technology to adapt to the type of production and present operators the controls and features needed for each production. With its intuitive interface BRAVO can be tailored for one or two person productions. The easy to use touchscreen control allows the story telling to take priority with the rest of the production tools literally at your fingertips.

Switch between your live cameras monitoring them through BRAVOs built in
multiviewer using Evertz VUE technology.
The easy to use touchscreen interface will allow any level of operator to simply press on the left hand side of an input or source to place that item on preview, while pressing on the right hand side will take you directly onto program for those quick decision moments.
Using BRAVO's built in transcoding engine, operators can import preproduced
graphics with key/fill layers and decide which graphical layer they will live
on. Multiple key/fill layers will allow for various graphics to be placed on
program simultaneously.
Create a custom audio mix with BRAVO's internal audio mixer. Shuffle any
embedded audio channel from any input to create a custom program mix. Output
levels are easily monitored and adjusted on the fly during production.
The storyboard functionality can be added as a second user to pre-produce
storylines, packages, show opens or even half time segments prior to the start
of a show. These storyboard segments allow operators to play multiple items of
pre-produced content together in a row with a press of a single widget.
The integrated media player on BRAVO allows you take your pre-produced
content, graphics, music, and clipped content during a show to playback that
content easily and quickly.
Utilizing bins and tags to organize content operators can then place those items in a cue to playback multiple clips in a row (using Storyboard) or single clip playback with the press of a simple widget on their touchscreen.
A built in EDL timeline allows for recording each and every operator decision
throughout an entire show or pre show giving the user the ability to create
show fixes and edits seconds after a production ends.
Live Edit will allow the operator to adjust audio levels, rearrange audio and video tracks, remove and delete content as well as extend that content. With the render free engine your edits can be done within seconds.
These timelines can be flattened for playback as individual clips within your live production or exported to an external drive for a perfect final product in the format you need.
Quick slow motion replay functionality can be easily added to the BRAVO
interface. For those larger productions, the BRAVO workflow can easily be
scaled to support multiple operators with dedicated DreamCatcher™ replay
stations.
Replays and playlists can be sent to a rundown cue for your BRAVO operator to simply roll to replays, push and quickly transition back out to game action when necessary.
BRAVO allows for clipping of content off any input coming into the system.
Utilize this in your show using storyboard or the integrated media player or
simply clip and export content as needed.
Keeping track of your content is easy with the use of a simple meta data /
tagging interface allowing the content on BRAVO to be logged, marked and
tagged with specific key words and naming conventions making it easier to
quickly return to key points in your production. Instantly jump back to the
interview in your opening segment of a show or the first goal in a game by
utilizing the multi user BRAVO to simply log the content live.
BRAVO's built in transcoding engine will also allow operators to simply plug
in a USB drive and import content of multiple different codecs prior to the
start of a production. Utilizing a built in bin structure to make their
content easily accessible during the show.
Manage your content in a file structure that make sense to you by creating custom bins names to easily find everything at your fingertips during production.
Walk away with your complete show or exported content in a specific or multiple codecs using the same transcode engine you did to import all content prior to the show.
You will get up to two program outputs for all your productions both a "Clean"
without graphics and a "Dirty" to include all graphical elements.
Add simple telestration to your highlights for a more in depth review of the
action. Using VUE and BRAVO's simple UI, your story tellers can add more to
the story producing content with telestration to be played back at any time in
your production.
Powered by DreamCatcher™ Platform: BRAVO will give the same reliable, flexible, scalable, and intuitive user interface that the industry knows for those streamlined collaborative productions.
