Workflow enhancement and new features for contentagent further streamlines file-based operations
Enhanced Camera Card Ingest & UHD capabilities, WAN acceleration, Forensic Watermarking and new Workflow Designer make IBC debut.
IBC, Amsterdam, September 11 2015... ContentAgent, the workflow management and automation tool from ROOT6 Technology will be demonstrated with some significant new features and workflow enhancements available in the latest iteration of software. Globally adopted, ContentAgent is designed to save time and effort in the production, post production and broadcast arenas by automating commonly performed processes and reducing the need for human intervention.
The latest ContentAgent release continues to build on cutting edge and versatile automated camera card and file-based ingest workflows, field-proven in some of the most demanding ingest-intensive environments. CardAgent, an intuitive interface for manipulating and managing card-based media in multi-user operations has been updated to include new camera formats and enhanced metadata capabilities.
An all-new Avid AAF creation toolset allows a host of new ingest options for card based media including the ability to automatically create sequences, optionally choosing to maintain timecode gaps and sync of multiple clips. Avid media can now have locators, spanned markers and custom metadata added. In fast turn-round situations, ContentAgent's powerful transcoding and rewrapping engine can now be coupled with Avid Interplay's Edit-while-transcode feature.
In its latest iteration, ContentAgent becomes the conduit between Adobe and Avid ecosystems with new workflows allowing direct media interchange.
ContentAgent's integration with leading third party technologies continues apace, enabling a rich pool of third party audio, video and QC applications to be seamlessly incorporated within automated workflows.
The popular Tachyon plugin from Cinnafilm is now complemented with the addition of Dark Energy, adding high quality image scaling capabilities to advanced motion compensated frame rate conversion. Support for a number of professional UHD formats, including XAVC, ProRes, JPEG2000, H.265 and more, enables easy file interchange in any UHD ecosystem while ContentAgent's GPU accelerated resolution and frame rate independent pipeline simplifies the transition for those working towards UHD and beyond.
Integration with Aspera and FileCatalyst facilitates rapid and secure file delivery. Delivery of card media, broadcast deliverables, viewing copies and much more can fit seamlessly at any point in the ContentAgent workflow, with monitoring to ensure files are safely delivered on time.
Support for Civolution s NexGuard allows a forensic watermark to be applied and recorded as part of a ContentAgent transcode. Applying a unique, invisible serial number automatically to individual copies of video content allows the protection of premium content across the entire content lifecycle, regardless of how the content is transcoded, resized, or otherwise altered further in the distribution chain. Such video watermarking is a strong deterrent against risk of illicit dissemination of pre-release content.
While ContentAgent's Workflow Designer continues to be a popular and respected tool, the interface has been reengineered in response to the deployment of increasingly complex and extensive workflows. The new Workflow Designer keeps the best of the original, adding new features and performance enhancements. A collection of new nodes and processes within the interface allow further modularity and logic, enabling the easy management and automation of every aspect of the process.
