Software Version Requirements
83
Avid Integration Guide
Transfer Engine direct-converts the media to an Avid-compatible MXF OP-Atom file,
and writes the media file in the correct directory for an Avid editing client to import.
Features
The Transfer Manager/Transfer Engine encoder and Receiver provide several features:
• Background ingest of media to the directory managed by the Avid linking model
• Deploys into standalone, network storage, and Interplay-equipped environments
• Works for both Direct Attached Storage and shared storage users
• Deploys into an Interplay PAM environment when the Transfer Engine is configured
to notify the Interplay system upon receipt of media from a Vantage workflow.
• The Vantage Avid Transfer Manager/Transfer Engine encoder supports a broad set
of media formats (see Supported Avid Media Formats).
These media processing workflows may require a dedicated Avid Transfer Engine server
for deployment into an Interplay Production Asset Management system.

You can encode media in the following media formats using the Transfer Manager/
Transfer Engine encoder:
• AVC Intra 100 720p/1080i
