ACQUIRE & INGEST

Manage Content Confidently. Not Just Barely.

Bring It In

Whether you’re a film production house, major league sports franchise, or a local news network, you’re generating a lot of content. The experts at CHESA are masters at architecting and deploying systems that incorporate all aspects of modern acquisition and ingest workflows.

Ingest+

Myriad factors come into play when designing an ingest workflow – such as live elements, SDI or IP, 8K, capture devices, transcoding, QC analysis, Web conference sources, media orchestration, and active archive, among others. We know ingest is no longer a simple ‘point A to point B’ journey. Let our workflow architects and engineers analyze your ingest needs and deploy a solution that covers all the logistics.

We ingested 3-days of underwater shoots that generated 4TB of RED (REDCODE®) raw footage at 8K. We ingested it as fast as the hard drives could handle, and transcoded the footage so the producers could screen and review it, which took just a few hours. If we didn’t have CHESA’s solution, it would have taken perhaps a week; it was nice to be able to turn it around so quickly!”
