MediaNXS offers a comprehensive range of capture, playback, import and export features for the digital intermediate workflow. Integrate easily with industry standard automation and controllers, and control external VTRs for pull-ins and laybacks. Use onscreen monitoring including signal analysis tools to complement your hardware I/O. Create the files you require from collaboration to delivery with our extensive broadcast and production file format support.
MediaNXS software provides a bridge between the digital intermediate workflow and the real world. User directed, time of day, or set duration record directly to your preferred file type. Edit in Adobe Premiere or Avid Media Composer while still ingesting. Import existing files for playback. Create low resolution proxy files via export for logging and editing, and generate full resolution conforms for downstream processing and delivery. Maintain project-based media pools and settings. Output via Drastic's robust VGA preview for passthrough and output video plus a range of signal analysis tools (vectorscope, waveform monitor, and histogram), with built in metadata display.
For on set use, self incrementing shot and take numbers can be embedded into each record file and its metadata. Records may be added to the timeline upon creation, either at a specific location or at the end of the last recorded clip. Records may be 'crash' records with user-directed record and stop controls, or using a set duration. Recordings may be set to occur at set intervals for specified durations, including single frame recording for animation. Time of Day recordings may also be set up, using the system clock to automatically start the recording (and if desired a duration setting to end the recording).
All recordings are made in their selected, native format. Any storage that provides enough speed and capacity can be used. MXF files like XDCam, OP1a, DPP/AS-11 and HDF support Adobe Premiere native edit while ingest. Most other recording file types can also be edited during ingest in Premiere or Media Composer using the MediaReactor Workstation add on.
Output to File uses the Timeline to select the media which will be transcoded. A dialog arises to let the user set the format for the conversion, and sets an In and Out point to include the media which needs to be transcoded. Once the transcode is finished the resulting file will have media where there are clips, and black with silence where there are none.
A Load and Save As dialog are present in the format setup to provide templates for the user's transcodes, so the user only has to set up the transcode once to use the same parameters at will. The template is also available to other MediaNXS stations if it can be accessed on a network.
Clips are displayed on the timeline as a set of tracks, each of which display the track name. A picon is displayed for quick visual reference. Selecting the clip loads its details to the left of the timeline and allows the user to edit the In/Out points (trim the clip) and clip position on the timeline. An undo button is provided to remedy an incorrect action on the timeline. The timeline also provides the basis of the 'To VTR' direct to tape output as well as the file export. Timelines can be quickly generated by dragging and dropping clips onto the timeline, then moving them into place, and trimming as needed. Fine tuning of the timeline can be done in the time code edit boxes to the right of the timeline, making frame accurate changes a snap.
