The ingest and production server

“In addition to realtime ingest and studio playout, VENICE’s playlist has significantly improved our workflow. Handling large amounts of clips has become a true breeze. Thanks to VENICE’s intuitive GUI and its seamless collaboration with DVS’s SpycerBox, CG produc-tion has gained enormous efficiency, especially with numerous designers working at the same time. DVS’s integrated solution is now at the heart of our workflow.”

Masaaki Watanabe, Sports Graphics Designer at TV Asahi

The ingest and production server

“As a systems partner, it was particularly important to make integra-tion easy for TeleZüri. DVS equipment allowed us to meet this aim and equip our important Swiss customer with high-end technology.”

Michael Jordi, Managing Director of Jordi AG Communication

EfficientproductioninAvid®environmentsThe Avid® workflow option lets you realize fast user-friendly workflows with Avid’s shared storage solution ISIS® and production-asset management system Interplay®. HD-SDI sources and their metadata can be ingested directly into ISIS® with Interplay check-in.

In addition to signal ingest, the Avid® workflow option also provides the opportunity to ingest file-based media directly from Panasonic’s P2 and Sony’s XDCAM® by simply dragging and dropping the content into Avid ISIS® and Inter-play®. Both signal and file ingest support frame-chase editing in Media Composer® enabling immediate browsing and editing of content.

The new outgest functionality facilitates the fast outgest of clips and sequences from Avid ISIS® and Interplay® for im-mediate playout and file distribution. Sequences containing a variety of audio and video clips are intelligently stitched together using enhanced transwrapping technology to ensure rapid transfer and immediate playout – especially helpful for covering breaking news.

Use VENICE to streamline your workflow by reducing the number of systems. With the ingest and production server, you can comfortably combine several production steps. In addition to hi-res ingest, proxy files can be created in parallel to meet proxy file-based workflows.

Thanks to its dual-destination recording feature, VENICE helps you protect your valuable content. With VENICE you will never miss a single shot again. Thanks to its versatile setup, its huge variety of supported codecs, and its flexible channel configuration, VENICE can respond quickly to your customers’ changing requirements.

Studio live production

Studio live production

The ingest and production server

Multi-cameraingestVENICE paves the way for multi-camera ingest, simplifying studio production work. The integrated GUI is easy to use and allows multi-camera recording. Operators can save entire production “scenarios” – presets which include all the required servers and settings. This facilitates the production of weekly shows, with the scenarios containing all acquired channels, modes, projects, and channel presets.

The dual recording function also offers enhanced redundancy: One channel can now record on two different storage systems independently, such as production and internal storage systems.

ChannelgroupingWith the new channel-grouping feature, VENICE offers parallel recording as well as frame-accurate starting and playout of multiple grouped channels. This is extremely useful, especially in multi-camera production scenarios where you can create a single channel group to ingest or play out several channels simultaneously.

Channel grouping can be used via an RS-422 or TCP/IP connection. Simply use your existing Ethernet network to link one or more VENICE channels, regardless of whether they are on the same server or on different ones. This lets you create a large cluster of ingest or playout devices. In addition, channel groups can be stored and reopened.

SafeandreliableThanks to its dual-destination recording feature VENICE is able to save HD-SDI signals in parallel and independently of each other in two different storage environments per channel. This ensures important live material is recorded reliably especially in hectic circumstances. The new studio playout GUI’s client-mirroring function is another part of the latest redundancy solution in VENICE, which additionally offers increased system stability under live conditions.

Studio playout

The ingest and production server

EasiestcontrolandoverviewThe intuitive software is specifically designed to make your life easier in hectic live situations. VENICE allows you to con-veniently and easily configure and control multiple channels at the same time. This lets you allocate the available channels between different studios flexibly, enabling you to assign them to tasks and studios as needed. A redundant setup is made possible thanks to client mirroring. In combination with the Avid® workflow option, content can be played out directly while it is being transferred from Avid ISIS® and Interplay®.

The new VENICE Play software is another part of the approach for easy playout. It allows you to bundle multiple channels in one playlist, providing you with a comprehensive over-view. Its clear and simple design with large progress bars and timecodes helps you keep control at all times.

It is extremely easy to organize your clips: Choose between organizing them in rundown lists or stories. A/B playout and auxiliary playout channels can also be displayed and controlled at the same time.

Thanks to the combination of VENICE Play and the integrated Spycer® browsing features, content management becomes a breeze. It helps you create a transparent network that makes the content of all connected proprietary systems available for viewing and editing by means of a wide array of tools. Browse content throughout your network, create playlists, easily rename clips, and perform various media operations while the content is being played out, etc.
