NEXIO® InstantOnline III™

LLM
NEXIO LLM software manages real-time transactions, status updates and RAIDsoft™, the patented and award-winning Harris software RAID and disk storage management system.

InstantOnline Client
InstantOnline III features a client application that connects and communicates with the InstantOnline server to monitor and manage EDLs, media files and timeline processing. The client is used to monitor status and error codes, and manually rearrange processing queues based on job priority. The real-time status window constantly displays all timelines and voiceovers being conformed and names of files being processed, along with duration updates.

The client also appears as a tab within Velocity PRX and optionally in the Velocity ESX and XNG applications, allowing the conforming progress to be monitored. It can also be installed on any remote PC, provided that the workstation maintains an Ethernet connection to the InstantOnline server. This capability allows InstantOnline to be managed from any networked computer using a valid user name and password. Functionality is the same for local and remote clients.

InstantOnline Settings
InstantOnline III features an interface for manipulating the final conforming settings of all projects and files sent to it. This includes aspect ratio handling, target output format, output ID type, simultaneous proxy creation and multiformat output configuration.

Shared Watch Folder
A shared folder can be made available for easy drag and drop of compliant EDL and media files. The folder is constantly watched by the InstantOnline software as it waits for a new job to process. Accepted media files can exist in a variety of different formats including:

.lxf, .avi, .m2t, .mpg, .mpeg, .mp4, .vob, .wmv, .3gp, .3g2, .swf, .mov, .mxf, .dps, .dva, .ltv, .lta, .wav, .aif, .aiff, .mp3, .dpt, .icg, .scribe, .bmp, .tif, .dib, .pcd, .wpg, .psd, .tga, .jpg, and .png 

NEXIO native formats (.lxf) are imported natively while all others are transcoded using preset format. Once the media has been imported into the SAN, it is available to all other users.

Multiformat Output
InstantOnline III simplifies and accelerates the output of multiformat material such as Quicktime®, Windows Media®, Real Media, AVI, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, Flash, 3GP/3G2 and iPod®/iPhone®. Configured presets allow creation of multiple formats upon output of the ID with a single button click.

Global Proxy Output
When used in conjunction with a NEXIO Global Proxy system, InstantOnline creates a proxy file simultaneous with the output of edit (single clip) or media ID (NEXIO reference file) clips. This allows instant access to the proxy file without burdening the Global Proxy Transcoder server.

Invenio Motion Integration
Instant Online III can be optionally integrated with Invenio® Motion to facilitate advanced multi-site workflows. Global Proxy content from multiple locations used by Velocity editors can be retrieved and transferred to the local NEXIO SAN by Invenio Motion. High-resolution versions of content referenced in a low-resolution proxy edit are the transferred by Invenio Motion to enable conforming and output by InstantOnline. The Invenio Motion media transfer progress is monitored in the InstantOnline client’s Deferred Queue status tab.

Native 64-bit Application
InstantOnline uses hardware profile calibration to optimize the software based on the current system configuration. Internally, the software is a native 64-bit application, which gives optimized performance, faster renders and additional stability.
