Augmented Reality/Virtual Sets
NEXT LEVEL AUGMENTED
We have developed an augmented reality solution that combines four key elements into one workflow, creating next-level results.
TRACKING METHODS AND SCALABILITY
In order to bring augmented reality to the next level we offer the new Mo-Sys Startracker optical system. By deploying this tracking technology on any broadcast camera, we can work in an environment of mixed encoded cameras, including handheld, crane cameras, hard/pedestal cameras—even steady cams.
ADVANCED LIVE RENDERING
Creating virtual graphics that are realistic to the human eye requires live rendering capacity, realistic live shadows and realistic live reflections. All of these things were lacking in today's broadcast render engines, so we adopted the most advanced gaming technology and modified it to fit in the broadcast environment. We use Zero Density Reality Virtual Studio as a bridge between hardware and our platform CUBE.
NEXT GENERATION KEYING
High-end keying is crucial in a virtual set environment, so we have integrated the latest generation "vision" based keying into our solution. Even the most difficult circumstances are no problem.
TOTAL WORKFLOW INTEGRATION
A virtual multi-camera environment is complicated. How do you handle the delays? What do you do with clean and dirty feeds? What back up scenarios are there for the live feed? We have created a seamless integration with the entire production chain, ensuring our virtual world is reality throughout the entire production.
Automated Ingest
Centralized Production
REMOTE PRODUCTION THAT’S FULLY DIRECTED
Around the globe, we offer several state-of-the-art centralized production suites that allow your entire production process to be fully-produced remotely. The studio and all essential components are securely housed in one of our own datacenters, and linked to site via IP connections.
With as little as only cameras and microphones in the field, our centralized production lets you deploy only the resources and crew you need, and only for the duration of the recording—helping you create efficiencies without lowering your standards.

Edit Bridge
The next generation of edit bridge brings all the power and capability of the existing product in a ‘scale-out’ version, enabling the attachment of many more non Avid concurrent and non-concurrent editors.
Marquis EDIT BRIDGE enables the seamless integration of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects CC in an Avid Interplay environment. It includes two Custom Panels for Premiere Pro which allow you to control the workflow directly from the Premiere Pro user interface.
IMPORT FROM INTERPLAY
The import panel allows Premiere Pro users to browse the contents of Avid Interplay and select items for use in Premiere Pro. Having selected the media, Edit Bridge will then deliver it to Premiere Pro in one of two ways depending upon the codec. Depending upon the codec and settings Edit Bridge will either deliver the media by reference so that it can be instantly ‘edited in place’ in Premiere Pro, or it will be transferred to a network location and re-wrapped on the fly to a wrapper appropriate for Premiere Pro.
INTERPLAY BROWSE AND INGEST PANEL FOR PREMIERE PRO OR AFTER EFFECTS
The Marquis Interplay Browse and Ingest panel for Premiere Pro and After Effects allows Adobe users to browse the content of an Avid Interplay system and select content that they want to use in Premiere Pro.
The Marquis panel then allows the user to either:
EDIT IN PLACE: Import the content within Premiere Pro without transferring any content. The imported content is purely a reference to the original Avid content on the ISIS storage.
TRANSFER AND RE-WRAP: Transfer the content from the Avid ISIS and convert the content to MXF Op1a for use in Premiere Pro.
EXPORT TO INTERPLAY
Marquis have built on its many years of experience in edit system integration solutions to develop a custom panel for Premiere Pro CC that will allow users to export content and metadata from Premiere Pro and into Avid Interplay PAM.
This panel will allow the Premiere Pro CC user to:
• Export content from Premiere from the panel and monitor progress
• Create Content in Interplay
• Create MXF OpAtoms on ISIS
• “Check-In” Clip metadata to Interplay PAM
Fotonflite
Fotonflite™ enables a high performance, secure ‘on-the-fly’, point to point transfer of Avid Media Composer projects and media workspaces between source Avid ISIS / NEXIS and a broad range of target storage types, including Avid, generic and proprietary storage. It is unique in its ability to do this especially with Avid ISIS / NEXIS work-in-progress.
Fotonflite has been developed in response to two different customer requirements:
· A studio that needed to securely sync Avid NEXIS between US and UK
· A post house who wanted to securely protect and manage remote freelance Media Composer projects on Tier 2 storage.
Existing transfer technologies were deemed insecure as they required data ‘at rest’ outside of the connected servers. Fotonflite solves this problem by deploying an always ‘in-flight’ encrypted point to point connection.
Using unique ISIS / NEXIS analytics, Fotonflite also transfers the project and media changes as ‘delta transfers’. This intelligence transforms the speed and efficiency of subsequent updates or backups. In some scenarios, reducing network payload by 90%.
This whitepaper describes the underlying technical approach behind Fotonflite and highlights a number of newly supported workflows.
Fotonflite is an option within Marquis Workspace Sync, Workspace Backup and Project Parking. It is available as an upgrade for existing customers with a valid support contract and as an option for new customers. It also offers more choices when deploying remote disaster recovery and business continuity solutions to protect Avid ISIS / NEXIS work-in-progress.
ShareBrowser
ShareBrowser enables your users to organize and search for media and projects across EVO storage as well as local, offline, and other SAN/NAS network disks.
Assets can be catalogued, tagged, and commented, so everyone on the team can easily find, preview, and share media and projects.
ShareBrowser is perfect for post-production teams that collaborate around a shared storage workflow, giving everyone a central, searchable database.
ShareBrowser shows you your storage workspaces in one spot — including cloud services like Dropbox, Hightail, and Adobe Creative Cloud.
eMAM Cloud
Intelligent archive. Securely store you content in the cloud. Artificial intelligent tools scan the media for faces, ideas, and keywords and provide a transcript. You can access the media from anywhere, share links, and download.
Production asset management. Collaboratively produce with editors and designers using integrated Adobe Creative Cloud apps (Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator), while others use the web interface to create markers, sub clips, sequences, and projects.
Testing system. eMAM can provide complete integrated workflows with over 90 technology partners in any number of cloud or local system. eMAM Cloud allows you to launch a cloud system in minutes to test basic workflows and processes, so our team, your team, or our technology partners can use the pre-integrated tools, APIs and configurations to set up the system most suitable for your needs
SaaS Deployment. Software as a Service means eMAM runs everything for you and provides you with a login.
PaaS Deployment. Platform as a Service means eMAM provides software only for you to run in your cloud infrastructure, allowing you complete control.

Media Portal
TMD’s Media Portal has been developed to provide a standardised method of receiving content. It is designed to make it simpler for media organisations to manage the process of receiving content, along with making it easier and more efficient for studios and third-party collaborators to deliver content to them. Media Portal provides an intuitive solution to transfer media content, with no technical knowledge required. This is preferable to many other methods of transferring content, where there may be limitations on file sizes and formats as well as security challenges.
With Mediaflex Media Portal, all that is required is for suppliers to access the web address of the organisation’s portal, which could be on the public internet. Once logged in the user is immediately presented with what media content they need to transfer to the Mediaflex platform. The first screen the user sees is a hierarchical list of media content grouped by Series, Season, Episode and Versions, all ordered by deadline date.
Once uploaded, the video content then goes through an initial set of pre-configured ingest technical QC processes, making it easy to see which files have been successfully uploaded, passed the initial technical checks and are ready to send onto the next stages of the content supply chain processes. Any number of users can upload at the same time from different user accounts located across multiple locations around the world. Configurable metadata fields are completed by the user at the same time, enabling discoverability and searchability of the content once it is enters Mediaflex as a media item.
Media Portal includes comprehensive logging of events including capturing the details of all files uploaded, sent and deleted. The interface is configurable for each media organisation, and intuitively provides support information and support availability based on the location of the user.

Review Hub
Securely share and collect feedback on media across your organization and with external collaborators using extensive privacy controls by way of watermarking, password protection and time specific expiration of shared links with the new Review Hub platform.
