Bluefish444 IngeSTore
IngeSTore
CAPTURE MULTIPLE CHANNELS OF VIDEO TO LOCAL OR NETWORK STORAGE INTO BROADCAST, POST-PRODUCTION, ARCHIVAL AND STREAMING FORMATS.
IngeSTore is an easy-to-use, multi-channel production and archival acquisition software compatible with all Bluefish444 Epoch video I/O cards, or available as a fully-integrated centralised ingest appliance.
Alternative workflow to using recorders with support for growing files
IngeSTore offers an alternative, more efficient, recording workflow compared to ‘in camera’ or 3rd-party add-on recorders. Support for recording to local or network-attached storage allows the chosen file format, and codec, to be recorded directly into its final location.
Removing the need to offload media from camera cards and recorders, and writing files directly to storage for industry-standard NLEs to immediately access, is a production workflow known as “growing files”, and is ordinarily a feature of expensive turnkey sports production solutions.
IngeSTore’s support for growing files and direct capture to NAS ensures easy editor collaboration and faster production times, creating operational efficiencies by saving time and money. Editors no longer have to wait for a recording to finish and then go about the lengthy process of media copy and transfer before NLE. IngeSTore eliminates the data wrangling associated with recorder workflows.

Leverage post-production assets to create production efficiencies
IngeSTore and its support for growing files adds production workflow features to existing post-production infrastructure. Adding an IngeSTore system to a facility that already has network storage and multiple NLEs creates a growing files production workflow utilising the same post-production assets.

Alternatively, IngeSTore and the NLE can run together on the same system for multi-channel capture and growing file editing. Bluefish has a long history of post-production certification for Adobe and Avid NLEs. Adding IngeSTore to a Bluefish certified NLE system, creates a unique, dual-purpose production or post-production system.
Widely deployed in multiple industries
IngeSTore has application in any live SDI recording workflow and has been successfully installed in the broadcast, post-production, live events, house of worship, legislative, industrial and educational sectors by systems integrators and resellers world-wide.

IngeSTore Uses Cases
Archive
Increase your archival efficiency by ingesting the highest quality SDI from multiple VTRs simultaneously to uncompressed or specialist archival video codecs.

Multi-cam ingest
IngeSTore multi-channel capture for centralised ingest allows for efficient and cost-effective recordings directly to a facility’s network-attached storage. Coupled with the support for ‘growing files’ and ‘Edit-While-Record’ workflows, the network-attached NLE can start to log and edit media from the moment a production recording begins.

On-site production
IngeSTore has been carefully designed to work seamlessly with popular 3rd-party NLEs, and the Bluefish plug-ins for Adobe Premiere Pro and Avid Media Composer.
Bluefish video I/O card SDI Inputs are used by IngeSTore while pristine SDI or HDMI video preview from Media Composer or Premiere Pro is provided by the same card’s outputs. Add to this support for ‘growing files’ and ‘Edit-While-Record’ and you have an all-in-one production system for recording and editing content in the most efficient way possible.

Remote production
IngeStore can be controlled remotely over standard web technologies with the NetAccess web client, Libero IngeSTore Scheduler, or custom integrations with the IngeSTore REST API.
NetAccess allows control of every IngeSTore featuer and multiple IngeSTore Servers from a web browser on a public or private network.
Libero IngeSTore Scheduler allows for the scheduling of future recording events from a web browser across one or many IngeSTore servers located anywhere in the world.

3rd-party adoption and control
Integrate all IngeSTore features via the JSON REST API and save years of acquisition development resources. 3rd-party software developers of workflow solutions such as schedulers, master control and media asset management can quickly integrate based on accessible web technologies.
