Video Technics, a company that consistently delivers the most feature-packed and affordable solutions to the broadcast industry, now offers native integration with Sony’s XDCAM camcorders and editing decks for fast media ingest directly to the NewsFlow™ centralized database. Gain a competitive edge with seamless XDCAM interoperability making the news production process much faster and more efficient.

NewsFlow™ is a highly scalable solution for small to large broadcast facilities providing ingest, edit, playout, and archive functionality with a productive digital newsroom. This IT-centric solution offers robust multi-channel ingest/playout Apella™ servers, servers, central NAS/SAN storage with comprehensive asset management, low resolution proxy editors/browsers, and nearline/offline automatic archive. NewsFlow creates a completely shared editing environment with the VT Adobe Plug-In,embedded in Adobe Premiere Pro workstations. The VT Adobe Plug-In allows editors to browse and edit shared content; then export the revised media directly from the Adobe timeline for immediate playout on any Apella server.

The VT XDCAM Browser Works Wherever You Need it – Inside Adobe Premiere Pro, on VT Proxy Editor Workstations, or Even Standalone for MXF/AVI File Exports.

Video Technics provides native interoperability with Sony XDCAM camcorders and studio decks using plug-in technology embedded in Adobe Premiere Pro, or in inside the VT Proxy Editor™, or even standalone to export AVI and MXF files for use with almost any nonlinear editor or server. Production is seamless using the VT XDCAM Browse dialog that includes drag and drop functionality. Easily select media from the XDCAM and drag to the Adobe Bin or import directly into a NewsFlow SAN or NAS for shared access and playout on any Apella video server channel.

The VT XDCAM Browser connects directly to any XDCAM device on the network allowing users to browse or sort by ID, date, duration, and thumbnail picture. Import both MPEG IMX and DVCAM media types. Files are automatically wrapped in either an AVI or MXF file container without transcoding, which preserves the original file quality while transferring files faster than real-time. As such, you can easily select and drag the XDCAM media from the VT XDCAM dialog into the Adobe Project Bin for editing or exporting for playout.

NewsFlow Studio Pro non-linear editor utilizes Adobe Premiere Pro with plug-in technology from Video Technics that provides seamless integration with broadcast video server ingest or playout and centralized media storage. Features include low resolution proxy browsing and editing with AAF import into Adobe Pro Project Bin, direct export from Adobe timelines, and Adobe Pro Project management tailored for collaborative work environments.

The VT Proxy Editor provides simplified and SMPTE frame accurate, low bandwidth editing anywhere on the network. With the VT Plug-In functionality, operators browse the VT XDCAM dialog from the VT Proxy Editor and drag and drop selected XDCAM material into the NewsFlow centralized database for editing. Edited timelines are played out immediately to air from any video server channel or exported to NLE’s such as Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro using the AAF file format export feature.

The VT Proxy Editor is available standalone or embedded in newsroom MOS applications such as AP's ENPS and Avid's iNews.

Non-linear editor integration, XDCAM native drag and drop support and enterprise-wide, low-resolution proxy editing with AAF export with shared media assets makes NewsFlow a leading solution in news and other production when seconds to air really count.
