Efficient Use of Resources

Metus INGEST is native 64bit Windows software. Consequently, it’s possible to get the kind of performance out of Metus INGEST that was previously only available from dedicated high end video capture servers.

- Studio Operation

Users can simply make a crash capture and record live camera feeds; it enables technicians to start, pause, stop and split individual channels or all channels at the same time.

- Digitizing and Achiving

Metus Ingest connects to a VTR and supports in & out points to make a batch capture. Users can print back to tape a video file in the same manner.

- Scheduled Recording

Program a schedule, and even control popular video routers (including Harris, Kramer, Blackmagic, Quartz, Jupiter and Snell devices) for NxM operation (N input channels captured or streamed into Y Metus channels)

- Compliance Recording and Monitoring

Capturing live broadcasts from DVB or IP sources. Metus INGEST supports EPG extraction and allows users to create a schedule from that.

Media Management

Multi-channel recording can create a massive number of files. Keeping in control of the files is one of Metus INGEST’s key strengths. Files can be automatically named according to user-defined naming templates. Files can be split automatically according to duration or size. Once the local media storage space starts filling up, Metus INGEST can be set up with media management rules to automatically move files to another location, or even delete ageing files. Alternatively, clips can be recorded direct to network storage. If the files are to be imported into a media management system, users can enter metadata during capture and automatically write files to the archive.

System Control and Usability

Metus INGEST is very easy to use. Every control and window required for manual operation is on a single screen.

Particular system configurations can be saved into user profiles and project files. As a result, any user can be trained to operate INGEST as a standalone system in with a minimum of effort. Metus INGEST can be deployed and managed in complex multi-channel deployments. All actions are logged, and critical operations can be password protected. Metus INGEST Controller software allows remote control and monitoring of all INGEST workstations on a local network. A TCP/IP based API is available for custom application integration.

Advanced Media Handling Options

File processing is a key component of the system. Functions include:

- Rescaling (aspect ratio and resolution change) from input signal/file to output file/stream - Multi audio capture and streaming from SDI or TS source - Audio channel remapping - Closed caption from input to file or stream - LTC/VITC burn in to file, and detecting timecode breaks - Logo/text/time overlay to file - Record to network location with local caching
