The Media Production Hub
Efficient workflows with Avid ISIS^® and Avid Interplay^®

The new Avid^® Workflow Option will allow you to realize fast user-friendly workflows with Avid’s shared storage ISIS^® and the production asset management Interplay^®. The DVS solution offers a server appliance connected to the VENICE base system and enables direct signal ingest via HD-SDI. In this configuration, up to four channels can be ingested in parallel together with simultaneous proxy file generation. Users will also benefit from comprehensive standard features of VENICE such as VTR control and batch capturing. Metadata can easily be added to media files. The transcoding mode can convert all media supported by VENICE, such as Apple QuickTime^® with Apple ProRes 422, MPEG-2 programs streams or even uncompressed files sequences directly into the Avid^® editing environment. In addition to the signal ingest, the Avid^® Workflow Option also provides the opportunity to ingest file-based media from Panasonic’s P2 and Sony’s XDCAM^® via simple drag-and-drop operations from Spycer^®. All files are immediately checked in into Interplay^® and will be ready for editing on a connected Media Composer^® within seconds.

All ingest operations support “edit while write”, so that you may start editing immediately, regardless of whether the source is an SDI signal, a P2 or XDCAM^® media or an uncompressed file sequence.
