MULTI-CAMERA RECORDING. HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE SYSTEM<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Forward Ingest systems are used at the filming stage when creating shows and TV programs. They provide synchronous multichannel recording of audio and video signals from several cameras. The recorded footage is frame synchronized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up to 12 sources can be connected to the Forward Ingest server. An important feature of the system is the absence of strict requirements for the synchronization of signals at the input and the ability to simultaneously work with multi-format cameras: analog, SDI, IP, NDI, HDMI \u2013 SD\/HD\/3G.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

File containers: AVI, MPEG2 TS (MPEG2 I-Frames), MXF OP1A (MPEG2 I-Frames), MP4, Apple ProRes. For MP4, hardware encoding is supported using Intel Quick Sync Video and NVidia NVENC technologies. Sound can be recorded into a single video file or into separate WAV files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is possible to simultaneously create several series of files \u2013 to record the same signal into files with different video parameters as a series of original files and a series of proxy files, for example. The way the recorded content is divided into parts, the rules for file names and the rules for distributing files into folders can all be adjusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hardware and software complex Forward Ingest is installed on a computer running Windows. The system includes video signal input\/output boards and the SLIngest software. All components of the complex are designed and manufactured by SoftLab-NSK. The Forward Ingest system can also be purchased in the form of an assembled video server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is it designed for<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Forward Ingest is used for the production of TV programs and shows when the workflow involves multi-camera shooting and subsequent editing of video footage shot from different angles. The Forward Ingest system provides multichannel recording of audio and video materials at the filming stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. At the beginning of the shooting process the system operator will set up the capture lines: the source parameters and the file series parameters, the rules for naming and distributing files into folders on the hard disk. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. During filming, the Forward Ingest server records signals from all cameras into files, ensuring frame synchronization of video materials. The operator controls the start and stop of recording and the capture lines in the program window. If one of the sources fails, the recording will not stop.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    1. One Forward Ingest server can be used alternately by different film crews. Reconfiguring the server, even if the production teams are working with different sets of cameras, doesn\u2019t take much time. In such cases it is possible to save settings as presets and restore them when necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. The use of the system reduces the time and effort spent by the operators and editors in order to process the video materials, greatly simplifies editing, and increases work efficiency:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
