Invenio® Motion

Invenio Motion provides a comprehensive toolset to create automatic processes that reduce or eliminate manual intervention and transparently manage all your media movement and repurposing requirements. Fully automated processes allow a highly efficient and cost-effective operation working across ingest, QC, production, playout and new media distribution systems.

For Single-Station Operations or Small Playout Facilities
Invenio Motion brings operational efficiencies for:

• Ingest, automatic transfer, transcoding and QC of file-based material
• Repurposing and distributing material for desktop access, IPTV, Web site, etc.
• Enhancing playout by extending your automation system to automatically restore missing media from any defined location (video disks, online storage, archives, FTP servers) to the playout server

For Multichannel Operations, Networks, Cable and DTH
Invenio Motion provides solutions for:

• Automatic ingest, QC and archiving file-based material
• Large-scale, complex material movement support
  - Ingest
  - Archive
  - Near-Line storage
  - Playout
  - VOD
  - Remote uplink/headend
  - Disaster recovery site
  - Ability to scale to tens of thousands of items per day
• Extending your Harris D-Series™ and ADC™ automation systems — enhance playout by automatically restoring missing media from any defined location to the playout server

For Mobile, IPTV, VOD and NVOD
Invenio Motion provides automatic repurposing and distribution using automatic workflows to:

• Ingest material
• Quality check/correct material
• Transcode to multiple formats
• Distribute to multiple platforms
• Automatically manage your media from the data center through the NOC to the remote head-end/insertion point

Invenio Motion can talk to many devices using different protocols to automatically handle media localization and movement based on your workflow. The modular architecture allows the integration of devices from multiple vendors without making any changes to the Invenio Motion application, enabling reduced integration costs and improved operational stability. In addition, the system centralizes media movement tasks requested by other interfaced applications including playout, traffic, ingest, delivery and more, allowing those systems to remain focused on their primary roles. This enables a broadcaster to globally manage the prioritization of all media movement requests from different applications — providing a real-world advantage, as restoring files for playout will always be a higher priority than archive processes.

Invenio Motion can behave as a standalone media movement tool, enhance the power of your playout automation system or supercharge your media asset management system. The automated workflows become an integral part of your normal operations and keep the complexity away from your users, allowing them to focus on other critical operations. Imagine the potential for productivity gains, reduced costs and fewer errors.

Invenio Motion Capabilities
Invenio Motion monitors and manages changes in your asset portfolio and initiates workflows to manage your media. The system provides your organization with these key media management capabilities:

Spy it! Media Detection
Invenio Motion monitors your asset portfolio by watching your devices. The system looks for changes in materials including new content additions, updates to existing media or media locations, and deletions. When new content is spied or a change in content is identified, Invenio Motion workflows are automatically triggered, using pre-defined rules configured to your organization’s workflows.

Move it! Media Movement and Other Media Workflows
Invenio Motion manages the movement of media from the point of ingest to the point of delivery. Workflows can be initiated by a user, triggered automatically or by applications such as digital asset management, automation, news or post production systems.

Track it! Workflow Management and Monitoring
Invenio Motion provides rich capabilities with which to monitor and initiate workflows to effectively monitor, manage and move media. Through a simple digital dashboard, the system allows you to track workflows, identify bottlenecks, track media presence on devices and monitor your storage. Tools to initiate workflows, manage priorities and intervene in processes are all in easy reach.

Supercharge Your Operation
Using Invenio Motion, automate your content movement processes, tailor them to your operations and maximize the value of your media assets. Invenio Motion provides an essential link among your media management processes by tying together your media, your storage capabilities and your business and operational systems into a unified, accountable, efficient and process-driven system.

Invenio Motion can be easily integrated with both Harris and third-party applications, ensuring seamless workflows across mixed environments.
