Marquis Broadcast, specialist in content
workflows and media integration software, will be demonstrating
Parking, a new media archive product for digital post and
broadcast workflows, at IBC 2010 (stand 2.A58).
Parking brings simple, yet powerful improvements to the utilisation
of Avid and Final Cut Pro edit clients and storage, enabling
users to adopt a highly flexible approach to their use of
resources and make significant savings on storage costs.
Parking improves cost efficiencies for post and broadcast
production workflows by freeing up valuable edit storage and
allowing users to more easily manage work in progress and
finished programmes. Using a 'one click' step, users can move
edit sequences, including all edit decisions and subclips
in the timeline from Avid or Final Cut Pro dedicated edit
storage to generic low-cost storage. The entirety of each
selected clip in the sequence can be transferred and converted
for archive. Long-term archives can then be migrated to removable
tape media, for example, for insurance purposes or for long-term
library storage.
“Editors are frequently faced with difficulties arising
from file format anomalies when they need to repurpose or
complete archived content that has been previously prepared
using different versioned editing applications,” said
Granby Patrick, Partner Director, Technology, Marquis Broadcast.
“Parking overcomes this problem by enabling the edit
to be resumed using earlier or later versions of the editing
software. In this way, the repurposing of content is a much
more straightforward task.”
With Parking, editors simply repurpose or resume an edit by
retrieving the 'parked' edit sequence from near-line or off-line
storage. Parking keeps essence and edit decisions together
so that the edit can be resumed at any time in the future.
There is no need to re-ingest and conform media whether it
is days, weeks or months after the initial edit has finished.
This level of flexibility allows scheduling to be changed
as required to make best use of available resources. Parking
uses an open MXF OP1A format wrapped in a TAR file, enabling
parked files to be transferred easily between storage locations
or read by a range of applications.
Parking features Marquis’ Media Highway Technology, a
highly advanced, proven technology on which all Marquis products
are built, including Medway, the company’s flagship media
transfer and format conversion software. It provides video
file format rewrapping, video codec transcoding, audio channel
routing and metadata interchange between media production,
MAM and distribution systems.
Other companies featuring Parking on their stands include
Isilon (stand 7.H10) and Global Distribution (stand 7.J39).
