Traditionally this media acquisition process has covered media ingest type of video ingest such as tape, disc and satellite feeds. Today the video ingest process also includes file transfers and feeds over the internet but device control is still an important factor for “traditional” media. At the same time, especially in fast-turnaround workflows or workflows involving longer pieces of content, we need to handle file transfers in such a way that we can start working on media during the transfer.
A significant challenge in the content ingest and annotation process is having access to an ingest system solution that can adapt to any media source whilst ensuring scalability and security.
Additionally, the more information you can gather from your collection of media and metadata you can associate with it, the more automation and efficient media supply chain you can build and the more value you can extract from your assets.
