Regardless of your source ( SDI, S-Video, Composite or DV25 via Firewire), mediaHUB provides broadcast quality MPEG 2 standard definition video as well as MPEG Layer 2 and Dolby Digital audio encoding for excellent on-air presentation which can be used for Commercial Insertion, Video On Demand, or Long Form applications.

      mediaHUB is a realtime standard definition MPEG 2 video, MPEG and Dolby audio encoder. With the ability to capture standard definition video and multiple stereo audio streams in realtime, mediaHUB allows users to view a confidence decode of the video as well as audio track selection while capturing. When capture is completed, mediaHUB provides review, accept and transfer options. Transfers can be made to the local host computer, a remote FTP server and directly to one or many Adtec video servers. mediaHUB includes control of professional VTRs over serial RS-422 or FireWire for accurate selection of acquisition material. Live feeds from satellite or newsroom sources can also be recorded on command by mediaHUB. If you work in a non-linear editor like Final Cut, you can export directly to mediaHUB without rolling tape in real time. Regardless of your source, mediaHUB provides broadcast quality MPEG 2 SD encoding for the best on-air presentation.

Review encoded files from any source before they are released to the enterprise. Video On Demand (VOD): Encode commercials from tape or directly from Final Cut for Video On Demand (VOD) compliant to the Cable Labs ADI specification. Program Acquisition: Encode long form material from tape or satellite based on time, serial, Ethernet or GPI control. Multimedia: Create files that provide the best quality playback on any Adtec digital media player or server. Non-Linear Editing: Use mediaHUB to offload the rendering process in Final Cut for real-time production of your work. Useful when creating content for video servers or DVD content distribution. Benefits Ingest with less work: mediaHUB is designed to make the tedious task of media ingest more streamlined and accurate with configurable work profiles that set up parameters with just one click. All you have to do is select your source material, encode and review while mediaHUB transfers the approved file where you want it automatically. See what you encode: Real-time confidence decode of the ingested material lets you immediately see and hear what you have captured with control to switch audio channels, abort and re-encode right away. After content is encoded, it can also be reviewed as many times as you want before final approval and transfer. Control with accuracy: mediaHUB can control VTR sources from RS-422 and FireWire for accurate mark in/out of material to ensure that you get what you want. Get the highest quality MPEG 2 SD: When it comes to the best on-air look, mediaHUB delivers with CableLabs VOD compliant files or ramp up to full frame D1 quality MPEG 2 standard definition video encoded from low bit rates up to 15Mbps with concurrent multiple Dolby Digital 2/0 (AC-3) and mixed MPEG 1 Layer 2 Musicam audio tracks. Ingest what you need: mediaHUB interoperates with Adtec's commercial insertion enterprise server, adManage. As a content management server, adManage provides mediaHUB with a prioritized list of commercials scheduled for ad insertion. Once the file is encoded and accepted, the adManage database is updated with valuable metadata including actual duration, ingest time, operator and optional expiration date. Crash record anytime: For live “crash recording” from satellite or newsroom sources, simply press encode, connect a GPI interface or schedule a time and duration with mediaHUB to automate the encode process. Encode right from Final Cut Pro: If you spend most of your day in Final Cut, you will appreciate the way mediaHUB offloads your work using Print To Video (Pro and Express) for near frame accurate or Edit to Tape (Pro only) frame accurate media acquisition over FireWire. Create DPI-ready files: Whether you currently splice local content into a digital transport stream or you are planning for DPI in the future, mediaHUB can create files that work in switched SDI, analog ad insertion and DPI ad servers from Adtec or other vendors.
