INGEST SERVER FOR MXF FILE MASTERING
Format Agnostic - Video/IT Gateway ­Production - Archive Migration
OpenCubeHD/SD is the EVS MXF server offering MXF file generation for stream­lined tapeless workflows. MXF files (SMPTE compliant) are auto­matically created providing maximum interoperability in any production and post-production environment.
OpenCubeHD/SD servers offer advanced network connectivity. Servers can be easily integrated into existing storage facilities, giving you great flexibility and the opportunity to cut back significantly on production costs. Directly connected to a VTR, to a Flexicart or to Live feeds
in production or post-production, OpenCubeHD/SD efficiently ingests, reviews and prints back to tape all of your media in HD and SD formats.

MAIN CAPABILITIES
MULTIPLE HD FORMAT ACQUISITION
STREAMLINED HD PRODUCTION BASED ON CENTRAL STORAGE
OpenCubeHD/SD allows you to capture video content in different formats wrapped with the appropriate metadata-enabled MXF wrapper and with native P2 and XDCAMHD support.
The server ensures the quality of the video and also makes efficient use of the MXF format for audio track management and wrapping VANC/VBI information.
The system can be controlled in different ways :
via an intuitive GUI
through a simple SOAP Web Services API
using RS422 (BVW, VDCP) interface offering a full tape emulation in playback and record
OpenCubeHD/SD is a turnkey solution and a highly-effective HD gateway between your video equipment and editing environment. Its scalability allows you to easily connect it to your existing IT infrastructure, whether SAN or NAS. Digitized media can be directly dropped in a distant storage bin without local copy for confidence viewing, quality control and editing during ingest. OpenCubeHD/ SD is delivered with an edit-oriented GUI for simple and straightforward media manipulation : browsing, checking, logging, ingest batching, consolidating and repurposing.
For massive video tape ingest projects, EVS now presents its new web-based FlexO3 application that allows you to flawlessly perform automation and archive digitization with a Flexicart robot.
FlexO3 has been developed to make ingesting as simple as possible. Each VTR in the Flexicart can be connected to an OpenCubeHD/SD video for a complete or partial digitization of the tape.
The application can be easily connected to your existing Media Asset Management (MAM) system using SOA Protocol to automatically retrieve useful metadata. Stack your Flexicart with tapes, close the door and FlexO3 takes care of everything. Barcodes are scanned, IDs are automatically sent to your MAM and all information retrieved from the MAM (TimeCode, Aspect Ratio, Audio tracks, Description, etc) is used to master archive migration and feed the MXF metadata. Advanced features allow the application to be monitored locally or from a distance using a Web browser.
FlexO3 also offers comprehensive Quality Check functions. Throughout the recording process, the VTR’s “Channel Condition” can be monitored and displayed to the operator. The application can also launch OpenCube XFReader for confidence viewing of all MXF-ingested materials. And FlexO3 offers the option of being connected to Interra BatonTM for newly generated MXF Files for quality checks. All QC information can be communicated to your MAM system once it is connected.
