Flexible Ingest Capabilities

Live and file-based ingest in FLOW. FLOW Ingest servers capture live feeds over SDI and NDI®. Each server runs four or eight HD SDI channels, depending on the capture card, and records straight into an EditShare Media Space, where editors can work on the clips while they’re still recording. For file-based media, bring in camera cards and files at their native resolution, including UHD and beyond. FLOW scans and indexes them and creates proxies automatically.

Get Started

Never miss out

Schedule Your Ingest

A comprehensive scheduling module records incoming video streams at specified times and dates. Configure ingest ports, assign EFS storage, and select the codec you need, then save the whole configuration as a preset so the next production loads in seconds.

One toolset, every production

Configured differently for studio shows and live sport, so the same server adapts to whatever is on the schedule.

Safe and secure

Recording straight into EFS, with complete peace of mind that the feed is captured.

Workflow freedom

Codecs that work natively in the leading NLEs, so there is no rewrap step waiting on the other end.

Native codecs, no transcode queue

Workflow

FLOW Ingest records native NLE-friendly codecs, which takes an entire step out of post. Media is ready to cut as it arrives, in the format your editors already work in.

  • Codec pack

    Covering Apple ProRes, H.264, Avid DNxHD, AVC-Intra, DV/DVCPRO, and XDCAM.

  • Edit-While-Capture

    Lets editors cut the growing file while the feed is still recording.

  • Universal Media Files

    In MXF and MOV, opening natively in Premiere Pro, Media Composer, Final Cut Pro, and Resolve.

  • Real-time proxies

    Let anyone preview, comment, and add rich, customizable metadata while the feed is still recording.

From re-wrap to full transcode

File-Based Ingest

The most comprehensive format support available. Bring in file-based media from any camera on the shoot, including RED R3D, ARRI Raw MXF, SXS, and BMRAW, plus most DSLR cameras, with full device metadata preserved end to end. Re-wrap when speed matters, or transcode when the downstream workflow needs it, and bandwidth stays fully under your control so editors never notice a drop in performance.
