Invenio® Capture

Advanced Digital Ingest

Get your content and go!
Ingest is about more than just getting content. It’s about making it useful. Digitize tapes, capture live streams, automate ingest of commercial and program content to reduce touch points, automate the digitization of legacy tape systems, manage the workflows behind manual ingest and deliver content to the environment. Ingest content from multiple sources, and make it useful to other systems within the operation, enabling new services.

Invenio® Capture facilitates the ingest and transfer of media and its associated metadata from tape to storage and archive devices. Optional automatic ingest capabilities allow you to expand the system to streamline your existing ingest workflow by eliminating most of the manual tasks — from receipt of the traffic dub list all the way through content capture and metadata distribution.

Invenio Capture also supports instant crash record, which streamlines manual ingest and lets you respond quickly to record incoming material prior to naming. Automatic naming of files in this mode quickly allows for the recording of multiple open-ended records.

Features

Invenio Capture Provides:

  • Centralized view of all catch servers and playout servers
  • Integration with leading automation and asset management systems, digital content distribution systems, nonlinear editing systems and broadcast servers
  • Immediate access to low-resolution video proxies
  • Manual ingest with “crash record” functionality
  • Task-focused user screens that make it easy to view content available on delivery and edit systems, initiate transfers and view the status of transfer requests
  • Support for both HD and SD content
  • Support for the delivery of content directly to video servers
  • Dub list integration with traffic, programming and promo systems
  • Optional support for automatic ingest of content using traffic dub lists

Product Details

Get it and Go
Use Invenio Capture to streamline your ingest workflows and maximize the value of your resources and media assets. Invenio Capture provides an essential entry point to content management by tying together your ingest process into a unified, accountable, efficient and process-driven system.

Automate Your Operation
Optional automatic ingest allows you to use Invenio Capture to automate your ingest processes, tailor them to your operations and maximize the value of your media assets. This optional feature enables an entire broadcast enterprise — or a single facility — to automate front-end media ingest and transfer processes. Facilities can eliminate the most manual operations performed during the daily ingest of media, speed up the ingest process, make media available to all workgroups and reduce on-air errors. Key to this workflow is that timing metadata from the catch servers is automatically included in the playout database. The operator only needs to be involved to provide validation of the media and metadata at the end of the process.

In addition, Invenio Capture supports configurable mapping to the automation system database. The system provides the unique ability to group metadata from certain catch servers and combine it with a program template for specific shows. This one-of-a-kind workflow improvement includes the automated mapping of several key metadata fields from the media delivery systems to specific fields in the automation database, such as material ID, title, user data and others.

Invenio Capture Grows With You
Extend Invenio Capture by adding Invenio® Motion workflows to your media management system.

Invenio Motion: When you’re ready to expand your content management workflows beyond ingest, Invenio Motion can help you create and manage a complete media movement environment. Access, manage and move material across any number of storage devices, including multi-level storage systems. Create a centralized ingest and distribution system, and push content to regional sites. Transform media from one file format to another. Extract metadata automatically to improve accuracy and save on duplicate entry. In addition to automatic operations, workflows can be trigged manually, and priorities can be modified based on your immediate needs. The system helps you create a highly efficient and cost-effective operation working across ingest, QC, production, playout and new media distribution.

Invenio® Family
Invenio Capture is a key member of the Invenio® suite of media asset management software solutions. Providing a total media asset management platform, Invenio empowers content creators, owners and distributors to manage the entire content lifecycle — from ingest to cataloging to storage and retrieval — to support today’s multiple platform distribution. The suite’s modular design lets you build a system from the bottom up, enabling you to meet current requirements and to scale as the needs of your operation grow.
