Let Interplay | Transfer do the heavy lifting – Media can be transferred at rates up to 45 MB/s when configured for optimal performance within a workgroup. Background transfers offload processor-intensive transfers from busy editing systems.

Save space with intelligent file handling – Interplay | Transfer intelligently decomposes a sequence, identifies all referenced master clips, and transfers only the referenced media files, preventing redundant material from filling up storage.

Keep distractions to a minimum – Interplay | Transfer destinations are visible from the editing interface, so an editor doesn’t need to leave a project to transfer a sequence. And Interplay | Transfer take place in the background, so editing is not interrupted.

Integrate industry-partner media and machines – With broad industry support for Interplay | Transfer application programming interfaces (APIs), facilities can add new production devices or file formats and share media seamlessly in a collaborative production environment.

Minimize delays with FrameChase™ editing – Interplay | Transfer supports FrameChase editing when capturing MXF material from supported ingest devices, allowing editors to begin viewing and editing immediately after recording starts.

Edit straight from camera with tapeless I/O – Interplay | Transfer moves material captured in supported file formats directly to an Avid Interplay workgroup, or to connected editing systems.

This new integrated workflow puts the story at the center of all planning and delivery, making it easier to create, collaborate, manage, and deliver a wider range of content faster. All by using a single interface—MediaCentral | UX.

Streamline reality TV production – MediaCentral | UX provides the capabilities necessary to deal with the hundreds to thousands of hours of footage shot in a typical reality show season. Producers, assistants, and loggers can contribute to the creative process without having to be in the facility to do it. Through the browser interface, contributors supporting the editorial staff can access all media to be more involved in the post-production process and deliver under tight deadlines.

Create exciting sports content – With MediaCentral | UX, sports producers and editors can find the perfect footage to inspire and excite fans. Loggers can work remotely to quickly break down plays as they happen, easily describing key activities and information using Interplay’s Frame Chase capabilities. This metadata can be used to find the right media for the play or player when needed. Team members can pull together highlights of games, player profiles, and fan events that can be retrieved from archive or nearline storage later in the season. Through integrated playout options, material can be pushed to in-stadium playout servers easily.

Extend newsroom capabilities everywhere – MediaCentral | UX extends newsroom capabilities to connect journalists and contributors wherever they are with story-centric workflow tools and mobile apps for iOS and Android devices. Create stories once and publish everywhere, including to social media, web, and online video platforms through direct integration with Media | Distribute. MediaCentral | UX also extends multi-newsroom capabilities by providing direct access to every station group or network iNEWS system. Using the included Media | Index search tool, any connected user can find and access media on any connected system, regardless of its physical location. And when used with Interplay | Production, you can send material to playback, as well as transfer media to remote sites.

MediaCentral | Production Management greatly simplifies and accelerates your entire media production workflow, without compromising creativity or quality. This fully customizable MediaCentral workflow module enables broadcast, sports, and post-production teams to manage the content creation process, automate workflows, and empower collaboration—all from a simple web or mobile app interface—so projects move easily in parallel and work gets done faster.

Interplay | Production lets you manage content creation, automate workflows, and empower collaboration so that projects move easily in parallel, and the work gets done faster. Non-creative tasks are orchestrated in the background, while team members worldwide focus on production. Without wasting time looking for the right clip.

Speed up time to delivery – Interplay | Transcode includes a mixdown service to “flatten” entire audio/video sequences to create a new master clip, while transcoding to a specified output format for distribution. With dual mixdown capability, Interplay | Transcode triggers a high-res mixdown and proxy at the same time—from editing clients and from Interplay | Access—and tracks them together for multi-res workflows.

Accelerate and synchronize your throughput – Interplay | Transcode generates multiple-resolution versions of a single media asset. Users work with whichever resolution is appropriate for the task, and edits are automatically reflected across all versions. The original media stays untouched and protected.

Get the right editing resolution, right away – Media Composer | Ultimate, Avid MediaCentral | UX, and Interplay | Assist systems can all work with high- and low-resolution formats. To keep bandwidth running smoothly, an administrator can establish resolution settings for users and applications, ensuring that only the allowed resolutions are available to each.

Eliminate duplication confusion – Interplay | Production tracks all the available resolutions simply, easily, and transparently and ensures that Interplay | Transcode doesn’t duplicate any media already available—eliminating format and resolution confusion for all connected systems.
