MediaFiler

Manual Ingest of Tape and Live Source

MediaFiler

MediaFiler is the easiest asset acquisition software in the industry. Your traffic system or our dublist processor can be used to create a drop-down list of “to be dubbed” material. ShowTimer, PathFire and/or FlipFactory interfaces add a “need to review” list in the MediaFiler drop-down list. The operator simply selects the house-name and up to three simultaneous destinations (1 primary and 2 backup source) then MediaFiler populates all known metadata automatically. This minimizes data entry errors and can eliminate the printed “check-off sheet”. Source control can be accomplished directly from the software with simple keyboard and mouse clicks or through an optional hands-on Shuttle-Jog Controller.

Features

  • Use house Traffic system to populate a drop-down dub “to-do” list.
  • Interfaces with ShowTimer, PathFire, and FlipFactory to populate “to-do” list for must-review-before-air material.
  • Ingest into a primary and up to two backup locations.
  • VTR source may be controlled from the Media Filer interface or through an optional Shuttle Jog Controller (“hands-on” control panel similar to a Sony or Panasonic VTR Shuttle-Jog control panel).
  • Ingest in 3 steps: Record, Review & Accept.
  • Efficiently ingest from video tape machines or video servers.
