Incite Video Printer Workflow

• The basic workflow involves using a MAM WEB Edit or Incite NLE application locally or remotely to create a project and build a timeline using web proxy or centrally stored media. Once the timeline has been prepared, the user selects the region of the timeline that needs mixing, then makes the “remote mixdown” request over the network or from the WEB interface. Incite Video Printer is assigned the task via Incite Task Server at which point the timeline is printed to disk as a single file.
• Incite Video Printer is designed to provide hi-res mixdown, while the media used to create the actual timeline can be proxy format media. For example, Incite MAM WEB Edit can create and edit timelines using proxy media simultaneously transcoded from the hi-res media during ingest. Incite MAM & Video Printer will dynamically switch to the hi-res files when it receives the mixdown request.
• The way this is handled depends on the way media is treated during ingest and how the media is organized on the network using Incite Project Configuration tools and Incite Task Server. All media is stored on the central server, hi-res files being directed to the SAN/NAS while proxy resolution files to the WEB Server.
• The only requirement is that Incite Video Printer needs direct access to the hi-resolution video for the mixdown. There is no need for file transfers or recapturing hi-resolution media.
• The remote mixdown task is triggered through Incite Task Server over a TCP/IP address.
• Software-based transcoding of media resulting from a Video Printer mixdown can also be performed using Incite Task Server Technology. As the mixdown media is created (during the mixdown), Incite Task Server initiates the transcoding procedure. In this way, you can produce different file formats from the same media source. For example, if you are compiling in high-resolution HD, you may want to create parallel formats for Social Media or web-OTT.
