The success of any broadcast operation depends on its ability to deliver media where it is needed, when it is needed, and in the format that is needed. Metadata — the essential information that enables media to be archived, browsed, retrieved, edited and broadcast — makes all of that possible.

But ingesting content with accurate metadata has always been a time-consuming, manual operation. ADC™ Automatic Ingest changes that by simplifying, streamlining and automating the ingest process.

An optional, turnkey media management solution, Automatic Ingest extends the capability of your ADC™ automation system by transcoding media automatically to your broadcast server. System features include:

• Capture and retention of metadata associated with original media content, making it available to automation and digital asset management systems
• Proven integration with leading digital content distribution centers such as DG Spot Box and Pathfire DMG (by DG Fast Channel™) , Vyvx™, Mijo™ and leading broadcast server providers such as Harris®, Thompson Grass Valley, Omneon and others.
• Interoperability with Harris® H-Class™ applications, including OSi-Traffic™, and other BXF-compliant products
• Support for high-resolution review of media on the video server using the optional H-Class™ Device Controller

Automatic Ingest benefits are many, including:

• Faster and more accurate ingest
• Quicker access to media by all station groups
• Fewer on-air errors
• Reduced operational costs
• More time to pursue new business opportunities
