DINO STS is a simple Web Based VFX Shots tracking system.

DINO has been designed to target small production teams who have been stuck with paper based, spreadsheet or other unadopted means of organizing their project pipeline. DINO allows producers and VFX supervisors break down and organize their pipeline, communicate with their teams, track shots and manage shot assets via your browser.
DINO administrative tasks can be performed by means of manipulating simple xml files directly via the ftp or via admin control panel on the sts page. Because of the simple xml approach, DINO can be pipelined with any software that can manipulate xml in order to automate certain administrative tasks e.g. – batch shot creation etc...

DINO STS is a web-based application intended to be served from a Linux/Win (Apache) server. At time of writing its primary development platforms are PHP(5)/PERL(5) and primary database platform is XML, though we are moving towards full SQL support with MYSQL for lager projects .

DINO STS is very flexible and can be run on a single server or on multiple servers either for clustering or process separation and isolation purposes in case of deployment in a heavy traffic load environment.

CVFX STS stores relevant metadata and actual site data within a back end xml database. At time of writing, DINO STS supports only XML based structured database as mentioned above.

  • Currently Available STS Deployment Options:

OnSiteSTS

  • STS Software is installed on the server located in your production environment (in most cases one server can host several STS systems). This plan is recommended for those running more than one STS system at once with heavy traffic load.

OffSiteSTS

  • Your STS is installed on one of our servers, providing you full access to the STS resources via the web/ftp/ssh. This plan is recommended for smaller projects with low shot count and low to medium traffic load.


Please Note - All our plans include email/telephone support and free sts upgrades.
