Third Light overview

What is Third Light?

Chorus from Third Light is a digital asset management system for creating, managing, sharing and publishing digital media assets. Designed specifically to enable team collaboration the software can be hosted locally on a clients own network, or managed by Third Light in the cloud. Upload and categorise media into folders, collections or smart collections and use Metadata to enable simple search and retrieval based on captions, keywords, location, time, date and much more. In addition, Spaces can be customized to mirror teams workflow preferences and adopt desired corporate branding.

Chorus also facilitates collaboration by packaging built-in file edit and conversion tools, while applying version controls, access rules and user tracking. Administrators can monitor how the system and assets are being used via a secure audit trail, while resting assured of automated backups and system updates. Advanced features are introduced across three account versions, with Chorus available in Base, Plus and Data Center editions. With storage capacity from 1TB and latterly unlimited as an outright license, extra features such as workflow management, approval, duplication detection and in-library messaging are added.

Key benefits of using Third Light

Spaces are a completely fresh concept that provide virtual departments and project teams with seamless collaboration, where users can upload, download, search, tag and share more easily than you’ve ever done before.

Secure, branded, professional publishing - Chorus makes it easy to publish whole libraries and folders via themed branded portals. They’re not just beautiful, but also designed for heavy loads and flash crowds.

As an outright license - the Data Center Edition enables clients to deploy Chorus wherever they wish, and offers unlimited, localized storage.

Workflow and approvals - the workflow dashboard brings together requests and provides quick, effective review and approval between users and managers.

Every Chorus site comes with our highly-regarded Account Management Plus service, giving you peace of mind that an expert is on hand to help. For custom development work and integration help, you have the option of approaching Third Light Professional Services for specialised consultancy.
