Avid Integration Guide
The master video asset (Avid-compatible MXF OP-Atom) and associated audio files are
written direct to Avid storage. Two additional files are written to storage-an XML file
that contains format attributes, and an AAF file that initializes check-in to Interplay.
Once check-in is complete the files are no longer required. Vantage provides a UI
checkbox to automatically delete these files from Avid storage.
In Media Composer mode, the MXF files are written to a location specified in the
Output Location, which is accessible to Media Composer.
Multi-Resolution and Keyframe Workflow (Parallel
workflow)
The purpose of this basic, multi-resolution workflow is to create Avid-compatible MXF
OP-Atom files, and an Avid headframe, in parallel. Edit-While-Ingest/Frame Chase
editing is not supported within this workflow.
The Flip action communicates with the Interplay Web Services host to check the asset
into the Interplay database. The master high resolution video asset (XDCAM HD 4:2:2),
Avid Proxy (H.264) and associated audio files are written directly to Avid storage.
Two Notify actions are used to perform additional Interplay operations

Note: For help configuring each action, open the Inspector and click on the M icon in the
upper right corner to display context help.
Watch—Monitors a file folder for an incoming media file.
Notify—creates a master clip (the Master Asset) and obtains the MOB IDs from Interplay
via Web Services for binding as a variable for use in subsequent Flip actions. This
workflow creates both the hi-res and low-res files that are part of the master asset and
are dynamically linked by the Master MOD ID.
Flip #1—Configured with the AAF Encoder, this Flip action is configured to create a
high-resolution in XDCAM HD 4:2:2 (or other selected format—for supported formats,
