Optibase Creator Ingest Server
Real-time SD/HD Ingest Solutions
Key Features
Optibase Creator is a unified, real-time ingest solution that streamlines the content creation process. It is the ideal content creation solution for post-production, video-on-demand, playout and file archiving by integrating the essential components of the creation process into a single unified platform. Creator offers cost savings by simplifying and reducing asset creation time.
Overview
Creator Ingest Server is designed with a powerful, hardware-based encoding engine. This allows real-time processing of MPEG-2 and H.264 high definition (HD) and standard definition (SD) master files simultaneously with the low-resolution proxy copy. Using the Creator Real-Time Quality Control (QC) module, results can be verified during and following the encoding process. This creates a single pass procedure and provides significant savings on time and resources. The Creator also
provides built-in support for closed caption in SD and HD formats.
