Solution: Avid DNxHD encoding
The size of 2K and 4K files makes it difficult-and expensive-to share and store file-based media. Avid DNxHD proxies can be easily shared between Avid Media Composer Adrenaline and Avid DS Nitris systems for highly efficient offline-to-online production. Learn more about Avid DNxHD Technology.

Solution: Transparent metadata management
Each frame of picture and sound carries with it one or more pieces of frame-based metadata ( KeyKodeT, multiple timecodes, etc.) as well as overall metadata such as shoot date, camera roll, scene, take, etc. With the built-in ability to track a complete range of metadata for many media formats and file types including MXF, Avid editing systems can easily recreate the creative decisions done in post at any point in the process.

Solution: Advanced conform and DPX file tracking
Seamless Advanced conform between Avid film editing and finishing systems means that creative work doesn't need to be re-done on high-demand finishing systems. Media Composer Adrenaline systems offer expanded DPX metadata tracking for file-based workflows, making it easier to track sources to final conform. Avid DS Nitris systems offer native 2K/4K finishing in their native color space; EDL conform based on DPX metadata; real-time multi-stream editing of Avid DNxHD proxies; and real-time 2K playback.
Solution: Integrated media management and Avid Unity media networks
At the editing system level, intuitive comprehensive media management tools are built in to the Avid editing interface, making it fast and easy to organize, locate, and re-name footage, clips, and sequences. A wide range of local storage options-FireWire and SCSI-provide unmatched reliability and flexibility. At the enterprise level, Fibre Channel- and Ethernet-based Avid Unity Media Networks let multiple users access offline and online media and associated metadata (timecode, KeyKode, cuts, dissolves, effects, etc) and enable simultaneous real-time collaboration between systems, departments, and locations.
