Service Description
Avid Interplay
ProEncode
Let you automate the process of encoding a sequence into formats that are suitable
for distribution on the Web, on DVD, or on CD-ROM. The ProEncode services use
other computers in the Avid Interplay environment to automatically perform the
encoding tasks. This lets you quickly send a sequence to be processed and then
continue with your editing.
Avid Interplay
Transcode
Lets you transcode Avid assets from one Avid-supported resolution to another. For
example, you can use the Avid Interplay Transcode service to create a low
resolution version of a sequence or master clip. You can also use the Avid Interplay
Auto Transcode service to automatically transcode media.
n
The Avid Interplay Transcode service does not use the Reformat bin setting
when transcoding across formats. Instead, media is always
stretched/squeezed to conform to the new video format.
Avid Interplay
Archive
Provides access to archive and restore features. The Avid Interplay Archive and
Restore services manage the process of moving data, instead of using the
Avid Interplay Transfer Engine. The Archive database keeps track of the files that
you store on external storage devices and lets you restore files to your online system
when they are needed.
