Avid Integration Guide
Overview
The tight integration of Vantage with Avid systems enables significant gains in
productivity for almost every type of Avid user, from small production houses to large
broadcasters producing national news programs. These dramatic productivity gains are
made possible by making file-based import and export processes faster, more
automated, and less reliant on operator action.
Figure 1. Vantage-to-Avid and Avid-to-Vantage Integration Points
Avid’s editing systems are used throughout the broadcast, sports, and entertainment
industries to edit and produce high value media. As such, they are operated by highly-
skilled creative staff, often located in premium facilities.
Vantage products can be integrated into Avid media workflows from simple to
complex, from standalone Media Composer edit systems to Interplay asset
management systems. Both single and multiple resolution assets can easily be created
to meet your requirements.
Note: In this guide, references to Media Composer generally apply to all three Avid
editors: Media Composer, Newscutter, and Symphony.
Throughout this guide, Avid Interplay—now named Interplay | Transfer—is usually
referred to as simply Interplay.
