ContentAgent, the automated file-based workflow management tool from ROOT6 Technology, was shown with the latest 3.2 software.
Full support for the AS11 DPP delivery standard with associated compliant metadata is now available. As part of the deliverables workflow, ContentAgent was shown integrated with automated file-based QC from Tektronix and Vidcheck.
Further support for Avid environments is now available with an automated ingest workflow. This facilitates the transcoding of material to Avid-compliant XDCAM HD, IMX and AVC Intra files, freeing up Avid workstations for editorial. Further flexibility is offered with the ability to take IMX, XDCAM HD and AVC Intra files in other MXF flavours and re-wrap as Avid native files. In all cases, these clips may also be automatically checked in to the Interplay asset management system as part of a ContentAgent workflow
A new advanced motion compensated standards conversion option, first seen at IBC, is now available and is already installed at BBC Sports, IMG and Hub +. “Any facility using expensive baseband legacy hardware must see this, “said Head of Product Management, Owen Walker. “Its implementation in ContentAgent provides a flexible, high quality yet affordable solution for those needing to incorporate frame rate conversion within file-based environments.”
Enhancements have been made to ContentAgent’s Platinum transcoding engine, resulting in increased performance and functionality and API improvements now make it easier for ContentAgent processes to be automated by third party applications.
