MASTERING MEDIA WORKFLOW EVS MEDIA
MASTERING MEDIA WORKFLOW We all know the nightmare caused by today s many content formats. No longer. Now EVS realizes the dream of worry-free content ingest with the Ingest Funnel, a standalone solution that makes content ingest of all types easy, streamlined and painless. What this means for you. Using a simple single interface, media managers facilitate a unique automated process governed by efficient IT-based principles. You asked. We answered. Over the past year, countless broadcasters, production houses and studios have asked for a better, more efficient way to ingest content for professional-quality broadcast. In response, we ve created a unique portal and single interface that successfully transforms, legalizes and masters all ingest formats and content, towards ready-to-air, archive and post-production formats. The system works by analyzing content and automatically selecting the right tool, whether an EVS solution or third-party component. Best of all, this web-based application can be run remotely, without requiring additional specialized skills. A highly intuitive HTML5-based interface and simplified workflow enables users without additional technical knowledge to ingest content through easy steps. KEY FEATURES Mix of pure ENG broadcast and IT workflows Easy to use customizable interface meets in-the-moment needs of operators Open architecture drives EVS and third-party systems Leverages MXF best practices Manages both video feeds and VTR ingest workflows
MAIN CAPABILITIES The funnel ingests formats including files (MP4, MXF, AS-11, IMF, etc.), ENG sources, video feeds, tapes and IP streams from wideranging sources. A built-in workflow management system analyzes and transforms the content, changing its format as required to meet specific customer specifications. It can then perform QC functions and legalize content - all fully controlled through workflow automation. At the conclusion of the funnel, content can be delivered to any shared storage or MAM solution. THE BEST OF BROADCAST AND IT The EVS Ingest Funnel is a highly functional mix of IT and broadcast technologies, employing Business Process Management (BPM) practices for advanced file processing and standardized notation via an intuitive graphical workflow designer. Its distributed service-oriented architecture (SOA) allows services to be simply and cost effectively added or deleted for a highly scalable solution that can be easily duplicated at multiple locations.
