Outbreak Sync-E (Entagged)

Windows / macOS

Keep your data alive. Keep your workflow out of the grave.

Outbreak Sync-E brings your roster data and photographed images back together locally on your Mac—without the extra upload-and-download shuffle just to get your data where it belongs. Import your roster, point this app at your images, and it reads the embedded barcode or access-code data to reunite each image with the correct player information.

But syncing is only the beginning.

The built-in Visual Review lets you actually see what happened on shoot day before your images move deeper into production. Review images by filename or image count, quickly spot unmatched photos and players who may not have been photographed, filter by team or group, and visually verify that the right images belong to the right athletes.

Find a mistag? Fix it right there. Entagged Sync can add, remove, replace, or correct barcode and access-code information directly on your local image files—including handling images with multiple codes. No bouncing between applications or discovering the mistake after you've already moved on to the next stage of your workflow.

When everything looks good, export your freshly synced CSV with the roster data you actually need and send the job on its way.

One application. One local workflow. A whole lot fewer opportunities for bad data to come back from the dead.

Import it. Sync it. See it. Fix it. Export it.
