[March 19, 2019] Introducing the ChronoTrack Media Uploader, a new-generation tool for media submissions, and just the start to our evolution of reliable, revenue-generating media products.
The foundational goal of this product is to ensure your media submissions reach our image servers with competence and efficiency. You can now upload media with confidence, irrespective of your available internet bandwidth, as our new partnership with Electron Apps will ensure 100% of your photos and videos make it into the CT Live Admin platform for your management. In addition, the intuitively designed User Interface will optimize to reduce training and support requests.
Did we mention it’s aesthetically pleasing, too?
Real-Time Status Progress Bar
The new ChronoTrack Media Uploader takes the guesswork out of media uploading, as we’re now able to provide greater insights into the progress of your media submissions. With our new tool, you’re informed on the status of submissions in real-time.
Step Away with Confidence
Improving upon our old Media Manager uploading tool, we’ve created the ChronoTrack Media Uploader with you and your time in mind. Queue up your media and step away from your computer while the ChronoTrack Media Uploader goes to work on ALL available content presented to the application. Gone are the days of staying close to your computer, cycling through each media job submission by the camera, in order to ensure a successful upload. Simply and confidently build out your job queue and get back to the next item of business.
Don’t sweat intermittent internet connectivity, the new media uploader application is reliable throughout downtime and will restore connectivity and begin where it left off. As a result, the use of the tool will afford you greater efficiency in completing the media submission at hand. Avoid the consequential task of restarting the media submission from the beginning (a far-too-often inconvenient task with our previous media upload tool, Media Manager).
Backed by Electron Apps
By partnering with Electron, we’re operating in a space that has the proven capability to host companies such as WhatsApp, Skype, Slack, and WordPress.
The power of this technology provides a variety of features and opportunities, including but not limited to: large file management, recovery, auto-updating, accessibility, native menus, performance reporting, large content quantity processing, and quick iterative engineer development cycles when needed.

- Auto-updating application
