ContentAgent

ContentAgent was designed from the ground up to manage Post Production workflows. It can natively recognize and automatically process most manufacturers' camera cards via dedicated watch folders designed to understand camera card structures. Any file or camera card metadata can be used to automatically make decisions within a workflow.

ContentAgent takes care of media and metadata ingest, transcoding (or rewrapping for greater efficiency), and importing of your media into the postproduction workflow, including automated archiving and proxy generation.

At the heart of ContentAgent is a powerful workflow engine that orchestrates job automation. JobAgents provide affordable superfast processing nodes enabling jobs to scale - from one PC to many – for the most demanding camera card ingest operations.
