WHAT THIS SERVICE INCLUDES
During high-paced editorial and commercial campaigns, unexpected disconnects or lagging preview rendering disrupt creative flow and cost valuable studio hours. Our audit delivers a rigorous diagnostic of your physical tethering infrastructure, computer port topologies, and local network transfers.
We scrutinize the complete Capture One tethered workflow from raw ingestion to client review stations. By tuning memory allocation, workspace layouts, and backup drives, your studio gains unmatched resilience against system freezes and metadata mismatches.
Tether Hardware & Cable Diagnostics
In-depth testing of active USB-C optical lines, repeater hubs, port power draw, and camera port locks under sustained burst capture.
Capture One Session Optimization
Audit of catalog vs session hierarchies, proxy preview generation speeds, auto-tagging rules, and automated dual-drive backup scripts.
Color Pipeline & Monitor Calibration
Ambient studio light evaluation, probe verification on client reference displays, and custom ICC/LCC correction profiles.
Network & Live Client Streaming
Configuration of local Wi-Fi bridges and Capture One Live review portals for seamless art director sign-offs.
