Description : tapeless television production software
[ not really a proper description, just a copy and paste
from the webpage - this RFP is just there to make sure
that the software suite is packaged at some time. ]
Ingex is a suite of software applications designed to enable low-cost
flexible tapeless television production. The functionality of the software
includes SDI video and audio capture, real-time transcoding and wrapping in
MXF, archiving to LTO-3 data tape and network file serving of media files.
The software was originally developed by BBC Research and Development in
2005 for series three of the BAMZOOKi BBC children's program and is now
released under the terms of the GPL software licence.
Ingex has since been used by the EastEnders and Dragons' Den television
productions as well as a music video production for BBC Radio One.
* Ingex Studio - a multi-camera television studio ingest and
* transcoding system.
Currently supported SD codecs are:
o Avid-compatible JPEG codec resolutions known as 2:1, 3:1, 10:1,
20:1, 15:1s, 10:1m, 4:1m
o DVCPRO50 (50Mbps) and DV (25Mbps)
o IMX 50/40/30 (50/40/30Mbps)
o Uncompressed SD video at 8 bits-per-sample and 10
bits-per-sample
Supported HD codecs are:
o DNxHD (VC-3) at 120Mbps and 185Mbps
o DVCPRO HD
o Uncompressed HD video at 8 bits-per-sample
* Ingex Player - software player for playback of MXF OP-Atom and MXF
OP-1a files. Supports playout to computer monitor or over SDI I/O
card. Features include quad-split, audio monitor, timecode display
and jog-shuttle control.
* Ingex Archive - ingest system designed for video tape archive
preservation. Video tape is played back from a VTR, ingested over
SDI, and stored as an MXF OP-1a file, including all audio channels,
VITC and LTC timecodes and archive database metadata. Features
include VTR-control, D-3 tape error recording, PSE analysis and
MPEG-2 browse generation.
* MediaHarmony - a Samba VFS module which allows multiple Avid editing
workstations to use low-cost commodity storage without conflicts
around the .pmr and .mdb database files. This is particularly useful
for workgroups of editors using Avid XpressDV.
* libMXF - a low-level C library for reading and writing MXF files.
Particular attention has been made to creating MXF files compatible
with Avid software and P2 cameras. Several useful command line tools
are included.
