Offline Editor

• Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid MediaComposer, Adobe Premiere

• QuickTime reference files can be used, eliminating need for long rendering/mixdown processing on editor machine • Files can be read directly from NAS/SAN, eliminating need to copy source files to encoder

• Decode native editing format (ProRes, HDV, DNxHD, XDCAM, etc.) • High-quality motion-adaptive deinterlacing with

frame-rate conversion • Inverse telecine with advanced broken cadence detection

• High-quality 12-tap scaling

• Configurable multilayer HLS, Microsoft IIS Smooth Streaming, MPEG-DASH (supporting H.264, AAC, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS Express) • Embedded caption (EIA-608/EIA-708) support • TTML (SMPTE TT, DFXP) generation per SMPTE RP2052 • DRM support (SecureMedia and Verimatrix with HLS; Irdeto with PlayReady)

• Automatically sends resulting

ABR files via FTP and HTTP • When job is complete (successfully or not), an email is automatically sent to various recipients (rules-based configurable depending upon nature of completion)

SelenioFlex

™

_{File Application: Editor Workflow}

• Workflow driven by the offline editor, exporting reference file into watch folder

• SelenioFlex File accesses referenced files directly from SAN/NAS

o Very high quality deinterlacing and inverse telecine during pre-processing, encoding to multiple ABR delivery formats (including remuxing of common encode layers)

o Output ABR formats include various caption, subtitle and DRM options

o Outputs automatically uploaded via FTP or HTTP, and notification email sent

POIS

• Web Services (SOAP) API with multiple asset management systems currently integrated (Motion, thePlatform, Ericsson CMS, Sony MediaBackbone, Contentbridge, etc.) • EDL is generated allowing user to mark in/out trim points of multiple separate audio/video

• Any variable in the blueprint can be changed dynamically at runtime via the API

• Decode broadcast server format (LXF, GXF, MXF) directly from storage • Trim multiple source files and stitch together using EDL • Captions and timecode extracted from embedded ancillary data

• Inverse telecine with advanced broken cadence detection

• High-quality 12-tap scaling produces HD and SD frame-sizes

• ESAM (IO3)

• Encoder Boundary Point insertion (EBP)

• SCTE35 insertion in private data PID

• IDR frames triggered at ad placement points

• Down-stream packagers such as RGB, Cisco, Envivio • ATS conditioned H.264/TS

output files

SelenioFlex

™

_{File Application: DAI (for SCTE130) Workflow}

• Workflow driven by asset management system via API integration

• Process creates edit decision list (EDL), incorporating lead-in, promos and main asset – all stored in SAN storage

• During encoding, the output is conditioned for down-stream ad insertion; an ‘ESAM’ communication is made to placement opportunity information service, where

SCTE35 cue points are identified, and encoder boundary point (EBP) markers are inserted

• Inverse telecine with advanced broken cadence detection

• High-quality 12-tap scaling produces HD and SD frame-sizes

• Key-framed graphic overlays (bugs) dynamically overlaid, including fade-in/out with multiple transition curves (step, ease-in, ease-out, etc.); support for multiple file-types including JPG, BMP, PNG, TIFF

• Key-framed video overlays ( e.g. motion snipes, lower-thirds), including support for alpha channel blending

• HD and SD H.264 video encoding, Dolby Digital audio encoding, multiplexed into MPEG2 Transport Stream (CableLabs 3.0 compliant) • Support for EIA-608 caption retiming (e.g. original captions at 59.94 can be retimed to 23.976, 29.97)

DAM/MAM

• Web Services (SOAP) API with multiple asset management systems currently integrated (Motion, thePlatform, Ericsson CMS, Sony MediaBackbone, Contentbridge, etc.)

• Multiple Files (media file

and caption file) • H.264 compressed stream is passed through without decoding

• Audio is transcoded from Dolby Digital AC3 to Dolby Digital Plus (EAC3) • EIA-608 captions converted into TTML (SMPTE TT/DFXP) per SMPTE RP2052

• Smooth Streaming output combines audio, video, and caption (TTML subtitles) into a single deliverable

SelenioFlex

™

_{File Application: Pass-Through Workflow}

• Workflow driven by asset management system via API integration

• Media file (e.g., transport stream) is demultiplexed; video is passed-through untouched, audio transcoded into new format (e.g., Dolby Digital Plus)

• Separate caption file is referenced in API call, and encoded into compliant TTML outputs

• Contribution format and archive format

• 10-bit lossless JPEG2000 in MXF

• 10-bit uncompressed AVI • Separate wave files for multiple audio

• Build slate, black and silence for predetermined head-roll

• Overlay slate text

(programmatically submitted via XML submission) • Decode file at 23.976 • Perform 3:2 pulldown to 29.97fps (NTSC) • Perform audio/video speed-up to 25fps (PAL) • Scale for SD PAL/NTSC • Generate LTC and VITC timecode

_{File Application: Studio XDCAM Distribution Workflow}

• Workflow driven by watch folder via XML

• SelenioFlex File generates a head-roll based on XML submission to precede main content; this contains text to be overlaid as a slate

• Single 23.976 input is then converted into various output formats, including SD NTSC and PAL and HD NTSC and PAL (various processing options used, including 3:2

pulldown, speed-up, and optionally motion-compensated standards conversion)
