Omneon, Gallery streamline editing, news production

Gallery has integrated its PictureReady software with the Omneon MediaGrid active storage system to enable direct ingest and instant editing of DVCPRO 25, 50 and HD material with Apple Final Cut Pro.

The complete Sienna news automation suite from Gallery also is integrated with the MediaGrid system and Omneon Spectrum media server to enable a news production workflow that allows users to edit in place with Final Cut Pro seconds after capture begins.

Part of the Sienna newsroom automation suite, PictureReady is a video capture application based on the Apple platform using AJA Kona video interface cards. The application is well-suited for ingesting or capturing video and audio material directly to Omneon MediaGrid active storage. PictureReady uses QuickTime encoders to encode the incoming media, giving it immediate compatibility with Final Cut Pro.
