Vidchecker Added To Editshare Flow 


News Image
EditShare has selected Vidcheck's Vidchecker file-based quality assurance solution for integration with its Flow production asset management platform.

EditShare's Flow provides a media asset management platform for creative control of all files during the production process, including 4K and remote editorial workflows. Flow will tag, organise and manage media, improving efficiency and multiplying productivity. Flow Automation is able to automate complex and repetitive workflow tasks including transcoding. With AirFlow, it is possible to remotely access media on a shared storage system for editorial/review, increasing the opportunities for creative development outside the boundaries of a facility. The Flow platform includes server-based modules as well as Apple OS X, Microsoft Windows, and web client applications to create a complete palette of production tools.

Designed for checking and repairing file-based video, audio and related metadata before and after distribution, Vidchecker is used to ensure that the metadata, video and audio parameters and levels of media files received by broadcasters from postproduction companies and content owners are correct for general transmission. It can automatically and intelligently correct video and audio levels, including peak audio attenuation, and perform automatic video segment detection. Sub-SD, SD, HD, UHD, 4K, 8K and mixed workflows are supported.

"Vidchecker is used by many broadcasters and postproduction facilities in America and Europe," explained Matthew Hallin, Video Group Technical Director at EditShare. "It has become the de facto standard for quality control of file-based video and audio content here in the UK. Integrating Vidchecker will enable operators of our Flow content management system to check the technical quality of their video and audio throughput far more effectively and efficiently than by the usual process of viewing random selections of a programme or clip. It also checks the relevant metadata. Sections of clips that require attention are marked and tagged with metadata relating to the QA test failure to make the review process simple and easy. Partnering with Vidcheck gives our customers easy access to market-leading tools for reporting on technical factors likely to need attention, allowing creatives to focus on editorial and production issues more appropriate to their human skills. Vidchecker can also be set to perform intelligent automatic correction which it does uniquely well."

"Combining the Vidchecker toolset with EditShare's Flow media asset management platform creates a very powerful system which can process, inspect and where necessary repair 4K, HD and SD content," added Howard Twine, COO, Vidcheck. "Both companies have powerful APIs which allowed seamless integration between our respective products to be achieved efficiently and effectively."
