• Complete technical handling and editing of media content (transcoding, cut, brand, mux, crop, delivery, playout)


• Integration of third-party technical, management and distribution applications into complete and automatable workflow chains.

Both as primary purpose or line-extention, Flow Works offers a wide range of made-to-measure web based services/surfaces for specific tasks. These services, collectively called “Fuel”, can be categorised into four groups:

• Production workflows (uploader, dailies, screening & approvals, file exchange)


• Project workflows (uploader, multiple content pool management, projects management, screener, file exchange)


• Publishing workflows (content pool management, distribution / channel management, file delivery)


• Playout (web TV, corporate TV, showrooms / crm, press-services, shops, apps, hybrid, social media – all via any device)

Produce » Post Production » Ingest » Post-production ingest »

Very most often the business processes within the post-production chain do start with the ingest from modern storage media. This can be either disks like Sony's XDCAM or cards like Panasonic's P2. Alternatively source footage is delivered via Internet or on USB hard drives, sticks, DVD's, BluRays or what so ever and moved from here to a central storage. But not all material is relevant. A selection of and within video files is required. For a more practial file handling the relevant shots are desired to get concatenated before moving onwards within the workflow.

This is the are where x-dream-media's Ingest Browser plays. This product allows previewing professional video files within a web browser. Basic technical metadata of the files are displayed. The files can get trimmed and concatenated. Finally automatic processing actions are triggered by human operator. By default x-dream-media’s MXF Sticher and Re-Muxer is called. Alternatively a job can get started at x-dream-media’s Workflow Manager.

The Multi-Format Player is a free and widely applicable tool in file-based environments. Due to its extremely powerful decoding engine it can play the majority of SD and HD video formats. It supports camera, editing, archiving, video server, streaming and download formats. Thus it can be used for the ingest, for review purposes or for quality control.

The Multi-Format Player is equiped with the usual player controls as well as single-frame stepping and looping. Furthermore, a frame-accurate seeking and play back of video files is possible. It also displays LTC and VITC timecode. A special highlight is the ability to output the video through professional interface cards as HD-SDI signal. Another highlight is the side-by-side view. This allows a direct comparison of two video files for instance on two monitors. Thus, the Multi-Format Player is ideal for video quality comparisons.

ONE GUI gives access to all information and controls that are relevant to the software operators. And it hides all options and controls that a user at his role level should not have access to. Different access levels based on a user/group/role definition can be configured. A login dialogue grants access and gives access to the options according to the user’s role. This said the processing farms “customers” for instance can be limited to watch the status while only operators can change priorities but just supervisors can stop and delete a job within the job list of a processing farm.

InSync Technology, experts in software motion compensated standards conversion, have partnered with Hiscale, specialists in high-performance, scalable software products, to deliver a flexible on-demand conversion solution for broadcasters and content owners of any size.

The integration will benefit broadcasters and content owners who face unexpected needs for frame rate and format conversion, such as when footage that was expected to be 1080 50i turns out to be 720 30p, and there’s no option to reshoot, or when a client requests a clip for integration into a UHD 59p program, but the only version on the server is HD 50i.

Keeping a standards converter on standby for such situations is not cost-effective. That's why InSync and Hiscale have joined forces to create a new option for pay-per-use standards conversion — FrameFormer for FLICS. With FrameFormer for FLICS, users pay for time-limited use on their preferred cloud platform, so there’s no large upfront cost to start using a new converter, and the customer avoids being locked into a costly contract with a single vendor.

FrameFormer is a high quality, motion compensated standards converter that offers frame rate and format conversion including de-interlacing, up/down/cross conversion, aspect ratio conversion, cadence management, and SDR/HDR/WCG tools for all types of content, from sub-QCIF up to 8K and beyond. FrameFormer has been carefully designed and finely tuned over many years to provide reliable conversions with automated settings, enabling fast deployment without lengthy parameter setup.

Accessing FrameFormer via FLICS provides the ultimate in flexibility, enabling customers to use their in-house processing resources as far as they can stretch, then offload peak demand into the cloud as required. FLICS incorporates transcoding, open APIs for integration into any preferred workflow, auto-scaling to handle incoming peak demand, and load distribution to make the most of available resources.

With nearly a decade of developing AI and computer vision tools for the world’s number one interactive video platform at WIREWAX, and with another two decades of experience in the video and broadcast space, the team identified ways to leverage the platform’s award-winning image processing technologies in the big media sector too.

Lightning fast; face and object recognition, segmentation, fingerprinting, speech recognition and many other unparalleled tools available in the suite has changed the game for the broadcast and media industry.

Being able to scan entire archives of video assets and create a powerful, digital understanding of videos, programmes and movies with this core technology has enabled large TV and movie studios to leverage data and digital tools and services like never before.

 

We’ve not met a media business on the planet that doesn’t have a digitised asset problem. Lack of metadata, no understanding of content, zero monetisation capabilities and gigantic and disorganized archives. Not to mention expensive asset management, overpriced syndication and VOD preparation, and notoriously slow and extortionate manual services.
