In complex, multi-camera studio production environments, the core technical requirements are the simultaneous and synchronous capture of the sources and the ability to edit that material as soon as possible in order to guarantee timely delivery of the final program. Given the live and spontaneous nature of the actual production, migrating to a file-based workflow has its challenges but can be well worth it in order to streamline the process and gain efficiency. With its wide support for production video formats and "edit-in-place" capabilities, an Omneon storage and processing platform can satisfy the capture and playout requirements, while simultaneously offering a shared edit environment. This unbeatable combination allows customers to use their best of breed NLEs to access and edit segments of the show even while those segments are still being recorded – a tremendous improvement in efficiency.

The all new Fastrack hybrid editing controller makes full use of the power of shared video server technology. Designed for use with the Omneon Spectrum media server, it provides the power of a linear editing system, along with the key elements of a non-linear system. Editware has implemented TCP/IP (Ethernet) control for the Omneon server using the Omneon Player API. This frees-up serial ports required for VDCP control, as well as speeding up various data transfer processes. This will also allow Fastrack to enable additional capabilities of the Omneon server in the future. This driver is resident in Fastrack software versions 4.3.23 and higher. |
