3. Importing Video / Audio / Stills
Files
3.1. Introduction
To import new video in an architecture working with high resolution and low resolution
files, the two corresponding files must be imported at the same time from the
Video/Audio/Stills tab.
The high resolution file will be used for high resolution workstations and the low resolution
files will be used on the lo-resolution workstations.
The import process will reference this new media in the database based on common
timecode range in both files.
The imported low resolution files must be compatible with the high resolution files. If they
are incompatible, an error message will be generated. During a batch import, incompatible
files are not imported.
The following compatibility table lists the high resolution video standards and the
corresponding low resolution proxies
High resolution video standard Low resolution proxy video frequency
HD1080i @50 @25 or 50
HD1080i @59.94 @29.97 or 59.94
HD720p @50 @25 or 50
HD720p @59.94 @27.97 or 59.94
PAL SD @25
NTSC SD @29,97
3.2. Single File or Batch Import
3.2.1. Introduction
There are two ways to import media inside the system:
• The first one is a single file import that allows you to specify a label for the item.
• The second one, the “batch import”, allows you to import the content of entire folders
but uses the original file names as the name for the media (label).
In both cases, you can apply the general import process defined in section "General
Import Process and Mandatory Fields" on page 3 to import the requested files.
