Turkeys largest media production company has deployed Metus shared recording system with Grass Valleys Edius to store, access, find and edit its video assets. Metus MAM can read the time-code in the video files, which makes them available for use in Multicam editing.
The Metus MAM is being used as a central production system for the three most watched shows in Turkey, namely Survivor, Turkeys Got Talent, The Voice of Turkey. These shows are recorded by up to 60 XDCAM and GoPro headcams. Every scene and action has multiple versions shot from different angles by different cameras. After the shooting, all materials are ingested into the MAM. Metus MAM offers automatic metadata, thumbnail, and storyboard creation features, coupled with proxy playback.
Archive system deployed by Metus MAM perfectly supports the Grass Valley Edius video editing software since all the production of Acun Media is done via Grass Valley architecture. Metus MAM Edius plug-in is used for accessing video assets on the MAM and for importing into Edius projects, directly from the Edius environment. Edius users can search assets by metadata or time-code and engage in multicam editing. Moreover, editing can start as soon as ingest starts.
There is no need for transcoding, as both Metus MAM and Edius can work intrinsically with the camera formats.
Furthermore, Metus MAM integration with Edius workstations ensures such fast performance via 10Gbit network with a very swift Supermicro 10Gbit NAS as shared storage.
While the system is capable of proxy-based editing, with SSD caching feature of the storage, Metus MAM enables even editing of high-resolution videos over 10Gbit backbone, thanks to its open-standard architecture. In other words, system performance can be improved with off-the-shelf server storage and network hardware.
Finished shows can be archived, transcoded and exported using the desktop client software of Metus MAM. Moreover, Metus web client allows browsing and searching of the materials from intranet or internet.
Metus MAM has been delivered to Acun Media by GTM Technology, Supermicro distributor for Turkey and a Metus dealer.
