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. NewsFlow’s VT XDCAM Browse 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 bin for editing or exporting for playout. 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 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.

The 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.
