Xedio Suite Version 3.1 - User’s Manual – Ingest Organizer
EVS Broadcast Equipment – January 2011
The Xedio Ingest application allows a user to control encoder channels to digitize
any incoming video into high resolution, low resolution or both simultaneously (a
panel of different codecs is available). The Xedio Ingest application can control
multiple incoming feeds simultaneously and offers a VGA monitoring feed of the
incoming video as it is being enco ded.
As a fully integrated part of the Xedio Suite of applications the files are entered
into the database as they are being ingested and can be used by other
applications in the Sui te even before the encoding pr ocess has been completed.
The Xedio Ingest is a server/client based system and therefore consists of two
elements:
Xedio Ingest (server) – Software which runs on the hardware encoder to enable
the control of the ingest proce ss.
Xedio Ingest Organizer (client) – Software which runs on any workstation within
the Xedio environment and controls the ingest process of all encoders that are
part of the system.

2. Xedio Ingest - Server
The Xedio Ingest (server) application running on a hardware encoder is usually set
up to auto start when the computer is switched on. If however it is not set up in
this way the program can be started manually. Click on the Xedio Ingest icon on
the desktop to start the application.
A dialogue box will then appear and ask the user to start the application. At this
point a password can be set up and ticking the check box can set the auto start
option.
When the application is started the message window shows the progress of the
connection to the Client application and displays any problems it may have in the
set up.
