1. Introduction
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 encoded.
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 Suite
even before the encoding process 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 process.
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.
