Ingesting Media into Avid via Interplay Transfer Engine

Implementing Avid-Telestream Media Processing Workflows

Avid Integration Guide

Setting up a Vantage Transfer Engine Workflow

For each Transfer Engine you target, you should create a separate Vantage workflow to

encode your media and deploy it to a specific destination folder that is monitored by

the Telestream Receiver on behalf of the Transfer Engine.

 Prototypical Transfer Engine Workflow

 Configuring the Flip Action

 Configuring the Deploy Action

 Smart SD/HD Transcoding Workflow

After configuring the workflow, you must activate it before you can start processing

media for ingest into your Avid system.

Note: When an in-process Avid TransferManager/TransferEngine Deploy action is

stopped, the job state transitions to Stopped By User, but the Avid system doesn't stop

ingesting the file until completion, and the progress bar continues to display progress.

Prototypical Transfer Engine Workflow

Here is a simple prototype workflow, depicted in Figure 42, below. Your workflow of

course, should be designed and configured to meet your media processing

requirements. The essential actions are the Flip and Deploy actions.

Figure 42. Prototypical Workflow for Transcoding and Deployment to Transfer Engine

The basic workflow includes a Watch action to pick up new media, a Flip action with the

Avid Transfer Manager/Transfer Engine Encoder configured to encode media per Avid

requirements, and a Deploy action to deliver the encoded media to the proper location.

When the workflow is activated, it polls a directory and—for each new file delivered—it

starts a job to process the media through the workflow.

The only requirements for this workflow is that it has a Flip action configured with an

Avid Transfer Manager/Transfer Engine encoder, and a Deploy action to deliver the

media to the target destination.

Configuring the Flip Action

The Flip action must be configured with the Avid Transfer Manager/Transfer Engine

encoder, with specific settings, as shown below in the Flip action Inspector.
