IBIS partners with Sony for XDCAM and XDCart interoperability
September 2005, IBC Booth 7.310: IBIS has partnered with Sony to provide complete interoperability between IBIS Archive -> and Sony XDCAM and XDCart. The integration means that IBIS Archive offers both archive to XDCAM from videoserver and restore from XDCAM to videoserver with metadata relating to archived and restored clips tracked and matched throughout the workflow process.
According to Mike Shaw, Managing Director of IBIS “In addition to exploiting XDCAM as a conventional digital video source with our automation and ingest tools, IBIS is providing integration with our asset management and archiving applications. This in turn provides the ability to access and use the in-built low-resolution browse video for reference and previewing, together with repurposing directly to web-compatible formats.
“As our system reads, writes and updates the MXF metadata to allow management of the original shooting data and the ability to add further data during the production process, IBIS is able to offer XDCAM - and its automated big brother XDCart -> as an alternative to archiving and near-line storage. This provides all the benefits of older data-only DVD-type storage combined with direct access to full broadcast-quality digital video playable on any XDCAM device within a facility.”
