Vantage to Avid—Delivering Encoded Media to
Avid Systems
Media and its associated metadata can arrive for processing in many ways and in—
often unpredictable—formats. An ever increasing challenge is keeping up with content
arriving from news agency/wire feeds, bureau and stringer file deliveries, tapeless
cameras, archive retrievals, and user-generated media and crowd sourcing, enabled by
the ubiquitous cell phone.

The media usually requires transcoding for conversion to house standards. Media may
also require aspect ratio, frame rate conversion, or other modifications.
Vantage offers unparalleled transcoding/re-wrapping functionality and quality for
automated ingest and export of heterogeneous media files. Vantage offers a
comprehensive set of codecs and components that you can combine and configure in
workflows to solve your media transcoding challenges, making Vantage an excellent
choice for automated transcoding of source media to Avid platforms.
