A Simple, Reliable, Powerful and Fast File Based Ingest Solution for Avid Workflows
SAT AI Direct Transcoder
AutoIngest Direct now offers an optional transcoder service. The Media TranscoderTM module allows clips to have multiple resolutions available to edit with. The editor simply chooses the working resolution using Avid's dynamic relink controls. [Read more]Multiple output formats maybe created at one time by the AI Direct Transcoder. For example if the Sony XDCAM EX 35mbps format was ingested, the transcoder can be set to create the Sony XDCAM Proxy and the Interplay WAN proxy simultaneously using the XDCAM 35 source. As each frame is decoded multiple encoding streams are created optimizing this process. All video formats are integrated into one Interplay clip with a common metadata set.
The Direct Transcoder can create Sony XDCAM 50, Avid DNxHD 145, Sony XDCAM Proxy, Interplay H.263 or H.264 WAN proxy. If the orginal high resolution media is transcoded to another format (ie DNxHD) then the originally ingested source can be optionally deleted from the clip to save space. Customers who already have AutoIngest Direct can add the transcoder module.
