"Swiss Army Knife" of video ingest
Metus INGEST is the essential desktop multimedia capture, transcoding, and streaming software. Metus INGEST offers a wide set of ingest modules to import content from various sources and formats. The software is very easy to use. Every control and window required for manual operation is on a single screen.
Metus INGEST is used in broadcast studios, mission critical archive operations, control rooms, media monitoring centers and research laboratories and military test sites worldwide. It allows capture without frame loss. Capture and streaming starts instantly, with. No arming period, caching time, no lost or dropped video frames. Metus Ingest is proven to be stable under continuous operation, even in 24/7 environments.
Multi-Channel, Multi-Profile Recording
Record any analog composite, component, HDMI and SDI input.
Metus INGEST supports capture cards from leading manufacturers including:
AJA, Blackmagic Design, Bluefish444, Magewell, Viewcast, DELTACAST, YUAN. It also supports a Directshow cards, NDI®; alternatively users can record and re-stream directly from an IP stream.
Media Management
Multi-channel recording can create a massive number of files. Keeping in control of the files is one of Metus INGEST’s key strengths. Files can be automatically named according to user-defined naming templates.
Files can be split automatically according to duration or size. Once the local media storage space starts filling up, Metus INGEST can be set up with media management rules to automatically move files to another location, or even delete ageing files. Alternatively, clips can be recorded direct to network storage. If the files are to be imported into a media management system, users can enter metadata during capture and automatically write files to the archive.
System Control and Usability
Metus INGEST is very easy to use. Every control and window required for manual operation is on a single screen.
Particular system configurations can be saved into user profiles and project files. As a result, any user can be trained to operate INGEST as a standalone system in with a minimum of effort.
Metus INGEST can be deployed and managed in complex multi-channel deployments. All actions are logged, and critical operations can be password protected. Metus INGEST WEB Controller software allows remote control and monitoring of all INGEST workstations on a local network. Telnet and REST API are available for custom application integration.
Uncompromising Performance
Quality
Metus INGEST delivers maximum quality files, whether you are capturing uncompressed video or web quality H264, by using advanced image pre-filtering algorithms.
Accuracy
Metus INGEST is frame accurate. Files captured or transcoded from the same source always have the same length, down to the last frame.
No Frame Loss
Metus INGEST allows capture without frame loss. Capture and streaming starts instantly, with. No arming period, caching time, no lost or dropped video frames. If you split a recording, no frames are lost at the split point.
Reliability
Used with professional-level workstations, Metus Ingest is proven to be stable under continuous operation, even in 24/7 environments.
Intelligent Recording
Studio Operation
Users can simply make a crash capture and record live camera feeds; it enables technicians to start, pause, stop and split individual channels or all channels at the same time.
Digitizing and Achiving
Metus Ingest connects to a VTR and supports in & out points to make a batch capture. Users can print back to tape a video file in the same manner.
Scheduled Recording
Program a schedule, and even control popular video routers (including Kramer, Blackmagic, Quartz, Jupiter and Pro-Bel devices) for NxM operation (N input channels captured or streamed into Y Metus channels)
Compliance Recording and Monitoring
Capturing live broadcasts IP sources.
