Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS) has announced the Company’s NEXIO AMP® and NEXIO XS™ servers now support Avid file interchange of native Sony® XDCAM® HD422 HD material via Avid® Interplay® Transfer software. Tighter integration allows Avid customers editing their content in native XDCAM HD422 within Avid HD news production and editing systems to seamlessly transfer that content to and from Harris® NEXIO® servers.
The media remains native throughout the ingest, editing and playout process — eliminating the multi-generational loss common to format transcoding. The advancement benefits Avid customers that choose Harris NEXIO servers for use with many Avid products, such as Avid NewsCutter® and Media Composer® editing systems, and Avid Interplay® systems. While Avid customers typically use Avid storage systems, such as Avid Unity™ ISIS® for caching their work during editing and production, they often choose the Harris NEXIO server to import newly acquired footage into Avid systems or export their finished Avid files to NEXIO for playout to air. Harris is offering a free software upgrade that enables existing NEXIO AMP advanced media workflow platforms and previous-generation NEXIO XS model servers to support native XDCAM HD422 file transfers via Avid Interplay Transfer.
The new Harris NEXIO Volt™ server, which offers an economical, slimmed-down version of the AMP feature set, also supports the new native Avid XDCAM HD422 workflow with the addition of inexpensive, external hardware. The Harris NEXIO server product line has long supported native Sony XDCAM file formats — including XDCAM, XDCAM HD422 and XDCAM EX. The Avid Interplay Transfer support of Sony XDCAM HD422 native files between NEXIO and Avid HD News production and editing systems is a breakthrough that simplifies and improves the HD news production pipeline.
Harris Broadcast Communications offers products, systems and services that provide interoperable workflow solutions for broadcast, cable, satellite and out-of-home networks. The Harris ONE™ solution brings together highly integrated and cost-effective products that enable advanced media workflows for emerging content delivery business models.
