Automated ingest and repurposing from AmberFin and TMD

The automatic choice for video ingest

Does your business need to ingest video by the cartload?

If so, AmberFin® and TMD have joined forces to offer you best-in-class ingest automation and repurposing on generic IT storage systems.

The iCR-Mediaflex Automated Ingest Solution combines the best technologies from two of the industry’s leaders in automated workflow.

AmberFin’s award-winning iCR allows you to create templates to effortlessly automate repetitive ingest, conversion and transcoding tasks, and is built to be easily integrated into your existing equipment, from storage networks to non-linear editors.

Meanwhile TMD’s Media Asset Management and Mediaflex Cart application provide an operational business system featuring device control and workflow management which help you increase efficiency, reduce costs and improve profitability.

Combining the two, and adding in a tape library robot such as a Sony FlexiCart, gives you a uniquely practical, scalable and cost-effective way of ingesting and repurposing video in bulk.

Six steps to bulk ingest

With the iCR-Mediaflex Automated Ingest Solution, processing video in bulk just takes six easy steps:

1. Register your tapes in Mediaflex and create ingest tasks.

2. Load your tapes into a FlexiCart.

3. Mediaflex Cart scans the tapes and links them to the titles held on the Mediaflex database.

4. Launch and leave as Mediaflex Cart directs iCR to ingest the content and create digital masters and realtime proxies in whatever format and wrapper you have specified.

5. Move onto your next task with peace of mind while iCR carries out an automated quality control (QC) of the ingested media. If there are any issues they will be flagged and you can review them at the point of ingest, or as a downstream process, whichever is easier.

6. Reload for the next bulk list while you search for ingested content in Mediaflex and iCR repurposes it into the deliverables required for distribution.
