iveo Data Sync

Sync for your event content. At the push of a button.

Every file from the iveo platform lands on your production machine automatically and in real time, sorted by programme and available offline. You no longer have to deal with USB sticks during the show.

Reasons for iveo Data Sync

Every file is there, even five minutes before showtime.

The slides change five minutes before showtime, or the video clip arrives just before the opening: Data Sync pulls new files onto the production machine automatically. You don't need a USB stick or a cloud link, and you don't have to chase anyone.

  • Reliable even with last-minute uploads
  • Offline-proof: synchronised files are always available
  • Secure, encrypted transfer over HTTPS

Features

What iveo Data Sync does

Automatic synchronisation

Poll intervals from 10 seconds up to 15 minutes. Newly uploaded or changed files are detected and downloaded straight away, without a manual sync.

Gallery with live thumbnails

Real preview images for every file type: videos (middle frame via OpenCV), PDFs (first page via PyMuPDF), PowerPoint (first slide), images direct.

Instant view on start-up

When the app starts, it rebuilds the gallery straight from the local cache, so there's no loading screen and no waiting for the server.

Offline-proof access

Once synchronised, files open offline with a single click. If the internet drops, the app retries every 15 seconds, without an error cascade and without data loss.

Intelligent sync plan

The app detects what's already on the local machine and transfers only new or changed files. That saves bandwidth.

Secure authentication

Access via personal licence key, stored encrypted in the system keychain (macOS Keychain / Windows Credential Locker). No permanent credentials are stored on the device.

Server-side malware scanning before sync

Every uploaded file is scanned server-side for viruses, trojans, ransomware and other malware before it enters the sync pool. Infected files are blocked automatically, so only clean content reaches the production machine.

How it works

From upload to live production, fully automatic

In five steps, every event file lands on your production machine, structured and ready to use.

File flow from speakers and crew via the iveo platform to the production computerEvent Planner or Speakeriveo Platform (AWS S3 Bucket)SYNCProduction Computer
1

Speakers & crew upload files

Presentations, video clips, jingles and images are uploaded directly on app.my-iveo.de, straight into the relevant event and programme, from anywhere and at any time.

2

Files land securely in cloud storage

Every file is stored securely in the iveo platform on German servers, structured by event and programme item.

3

Data Sync detects new files

The app checks for changes at configurable intervals and transfers only new or changed files.

4

Automatic download with live preview

Files are downloaded in the background. A percentage ring shows progress per file, with current speed in the footer.

5

Instant access, online or offline

Files appear grouped by programme with a thumbnail in the gallery. One click opens them, even if the internet drops.

The problem and our solution

What changes with automatic file sync

The Challenge
  • USB sticks, WeTransfer links and email attachments: every file handover costs time and invites mistakes

  • Last-minute edits to slides or clips often reach the control room too late or not at all

  • Wrong or outdated file versions lead to playback errors live on air

  • If the internet drops, cloud-only solutions grind to a halt in the middle of production

The iveo Solution
  • Every file lands on the production machine automatically, and USB sticks, manual uploads and chasing are no longer needed

  • Last-minute updates reach the control room in real time, even five minutes before showtime

  • The app automatically detects the latest version, so nothing outdated gets synced or played

  • Synchronised files stay available when the network drops, and production keeps running

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a licence key?

Ask the Event Owner of your iveo event. They can create a licence key for you directly in the iveo platform. Enter the key in the app, choose your sync folder and you're ready to go.

Does the app work offline?

Yes. Files you've already synced are always available offline with a single click. If the internet drops, the app switches to offline mode and automatically retries every 15 seconds, with no data loss.

Which file formats are supported?

All common event production formats: videos (MP4, MOV, AVI), images (JPG, PNG, HEIC), PDFs, PowerPoint (PPTX, PPT) and Keynote. Data Sync generates a real thumbnail for every file type.

How fast are new files synchronised?

You can set the sync interval anywhere from 10 seconds to 15 minutes, or sync manually. Default is 1 minute. For critical productions, 10 seconds ensures last-minute uploads are available immediately.

Is data transmitted securely?

Yes. All communication runs over HTTPS and is protected by short-lived authentication tokens. No permanent credentials are stored on the client machine.

Does the app work on macOS and Windows?

Yes. Data Sync runs on macOS 12+ (Intel & Apple Silicon) and Windows 10+ (x64). As part of the iveo Tools Suite, it ships in a single installer alongside Speaker Detection.
