Metus ingest solutions for broadcast, capture, logging & media workflows
Metus specializes in ingest, recording, transcoding and media workflow management solutions for professional broadcast, production, archiving and media monitoring environments. Its portfolio is not limited to ingest, but also extends to MAM and related tools, which allows it to cover more complete media workflows.
The company's core solution is Metus INGEST, which supports multi-channel ingest, SDI ingest, IP ingest, NDI ingest, multicam recording, transcoding and streaming. This makes it suitable for installations where content capture needs to be stable, flexible and easily connected to subsequent stages of production or archiving.
Of particular value is the fact that Metus can serve different workflows, such as live capture, file-based ingest, VTR batch capture, logging and archive ingest, without being limited to a single use. In more complex environments, its connection to Metus MAM helps manage assets, metadata and the entire content flow.
From a technical point of view, the VC-A71P stands out as a 4K model with a 1/1.8″ 9.17MP sensor, 2160p59.94, 12G-SDI / HDMI 2.0 / Ethernet / USB 3.0, 30x zoom, PoE++ and support for H.265 / H.264 / MJPEG, as well as RTSP, RTMP, RTMPS, MPEG-TS, SRT. The VC-A53 moves more into the Full HD category with 20x zoom, while the VC-R31 offers 1080p60 and 12x zoom for more flexible or economical setups. In the NDI models, the VC-A71P-HN, VC-A71SN and VC-A71PN extend Lumens' proposal towards IP-based production environments with NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX2 or HX3, depending on the model.
For Comart, Metus solutions are of interest in projects that require a combination of capture, logging, transcoding and archiving in organized media environments, with an emphasis on reliability and the correct integration of ingest into the overall workflow.
