## What is Drylab Viewer?

Find anything ever shot, in seconds. We are not for the dreamers, but for the creators, built for indie film-makers to create both faster and cheaper, but most of all: better. 

Our team has decades of award-winning experience in the Scandinavian wilderness, distilled into a completely re-designed software. 
Built especially for independent film-makers with limited resources and small crews, yet big ambitions. 

With Drylab, there are no more limited overview or lost takes. 
Just better creation. Anywhere.

Drylab Viewer 3 is a powerful dailies distribution system you can incorporate into any workflow, and that's simple to use anywhere. It has been used on over 100 productions and no other system on the market is so quick, user-friendly and adaptive.

Collaboration
With Drylab Viewer 3 you can choose what to make available, and make sure everyone sees what they need, whether they are responsible for storytelling, design, special effects or continuity.

Distribute anywhere
Dailies can be distributed locally on-set via wifi, or securely to team members anywhere via the Internet. Drylab dailies can, therefore,​ be deployed even if you don't have an Internet connection where you're shooting.

Security
Dailies need to be kept safe and secure, but at the same time easily available to your team, both on set and off. We use encrypted connections (both local and remote) to make sure your film stays at the fingertips of your team and no-one else. All network connections use HTTPS to prevent eavesdropping. Clips and metadata distributed via the Internet are encrypted (using AES-256), and can only be decrypted by paired and authorized Dailies Viewers.

Security features:
Content encryption, GPS tracking, enforcement of strict password policies, remote wiping, and automatic wiping in the case of too many failed login attempts.

Please note: Dailies Viewer 3 is intended for use on feature film, TV drama, commercials, short films and documentary productions, and requires Drylab Creator and a service subscription.
