Ingest

Capture Suite is a multi-channel – multi-server UHD/HD/SD live ingest solution which integrates into the production workflow of any television network, post-production facility or playout centers.

In an attempt to ensure a rich viewer’s experience, broadcasters and post-production houses have to deal with receiving content from multiple live sources on a daily basis. Our latest addition Capture Suite is a multi-channel – multi-server UHD/HD/SD live ingest solution which integrates into the production workflow of any television network, post-production facility or playout centers.

Capture Suite allows users to control multiple ingest channels, spread on multiple servers from a single user interface. Functions such as input selection, ingest presets, file naming conventions assignments are a single click away from the user.
