- Studio Operation
Users can simply make a crash capture and record live camera feeds; it enables technicians to start, pause, stop and split individual channels or all channels at the same time.
- Digitizing and Achiving
Metus Ingest connects to a VTR and supports in & out points to make a batch capture. Users can print back to tape a video file in the same manner.
- Scheduled Recording
Program a schedule, and even control popular video routers (including Kramer, Blackmagic, Quartz, Jupiter and Pro-Bel devices) for NxM operation (N input channels captured or streamed into Y Metus channels)
- Compliance Recording and Monitoring
Capturing live broadcasts IP sources.

Media Management​

Multi-channel recording can create a massive number of files. Keeping in control of the files is one of Metus INGEST’s key strengths. Files can be automatically named according to user-defined naming templates. Read more about it.
Files can be split automatically according to duration or size. Once the local media storage space starts filling up, Metus INGEST can be set up with media management rules to automatically move files to another location, or even delete ageing files. Alternatively, clips can be recorded direct to network storage. If the files are to be imported into a media management system, users can enter metadata during capture and automatically write files to the archive.

System Control and Usability​

Metus INGEST is very easy to use. Every control and window required for manual operation is on a single screen. Read more about it.
Particular system configurations can be saved into user profiles and project files. As a result, any user can be trained to operate INGEST as a standalone system in with a minimum of effort.
Metus INGEST can be deployed and managed in complex multi-channel deployments. All actions are logged, and critical operations can be password protected. Metus INGEST Controller software allows remote control and monitoring of all INGEST workstations on a local network. A TCP/IP based API is available for custom application integration.
