1. Introduction
1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Xedio Dispatcher is a software product used for importing A/V files, rough-cutting
and exporting rough-cuts to multiple destinations and formats.
Xedio Dispatcher automatically detects connected devices (such as CANON, P2,
XDCAM or XDCAM EX devices), and instantly displays their contents. This allows
immediate browsing of the media directly on the device, which speeds up the
shoot selection, sub-clipping and/or fast rough-cut editing. Shoots, sub-clips and
edits can also be instantly logged. Xedio Dispatcher also scans drives or folders
upon user request and displays their content.
As soon as clips are displayed in Xedio Dispatcher, they are available to Xedio
database and media server as growing clips, without waiting the end of
transcoding process.
Once selected or created, the sub-clips and consolidated storyboards can be
easily transferred from the device itself to any target such as EVS video server,
media server (for example: SAN, XStore), or any type of storage. They can also be
exported to a file that can be read by an external system or to an external device
such as a tape recorder.
Simultaneous transfers to multiple destinations in multiple formats are supported
thanks to Xedio on-the-fly SD/HD rewrapping & transcoding capabilities.
