Avid Systems provide twenty-four
tracks for synchronized metadata, linking any digital investigative
asset directly to the video evidence. Assets include word
processing documents, spreadsheets, e-mail, digital photos
or virtually any digital file that can be accessed on a computer.
As the video exhibit is played, hotspots on the Avid timeline
guide the analyst, investigator, or prosecutor to evidence
relevant to that point in the video clip. With the click
of a button, the digital asset is launched. The Avid MetaSync
system can even link a video sequence to a live Web site,
providing dynamic access to covert surveillance cameras.
