FLOW · Capture + Ingest
Capture every moment live, from every angle
A state-of-the-art multi-channel video ingest server for broadcast, sports, and reality TV, designed to meet the rigorous demands of any production.
Web-based application
Configure and run ingest from any browser, with no client software to install.
Large codec pack
Native NLE-friendly codecs including ProRes, H.264, DNxHD, AVC-Intra, DV/DVCPRO, and XDCAM.
Schedule or crash record
Set times, dates, feeds, storage, and codec, or start recording instantly.
Edit while capture
Editors start cutting the moment media begins recording, no waiting for capture to finish.
4 or 8 channel
Available in 4 or 8 channel configurations for broadcast, sports, and reality TV.
Records into EFS
Streams record directly into EFS storage, ready for editors the moment they land.
Automatic proxies
Proxy versions are generated on ingest, so remote contributors can start work immediately.
File-based ingest included
Card and camera-original media comes in through the same server, no separate tool required.
Dual functionality on every channel
Flexible Ingest Capabilities
Baseband and file-based, in one server. FLOW servers support both file-based and baseband SDI ingest, and each channel can be configured either way. File-based ingest supports codecs from major camera manufacturers, so you connect your preferred camera card and processing happens automatically. Each server handles up to four channels, from HD to 8K, with a turnkey path straight into an EFS media space.
Never miss out
Schedule Your Ingest
A comprehensive scheduling module records incoming video streams at specified times and dates. Configure ingest ports, assign EFS storage, and select the codec you need, then save the whole configuration as a preset so the next production loads in seconds.
Safe and secure
Recording straight into EFS, with complete peace of mind that the feed is captured.
Workflow freedom
Codecs that work natively in the leading NLEs, so there is no rewrap step waiting on the other end.
Native codecs, no transcode queue

From re-wrap to full transcode
File-Based Ingest
The most comprehensive format support available. Bring in file-based media from any camera on the shoot, including RED R3D, ARRI Raw MXF, SXS, and BMRAW, plus most DSLR cameras, with full device metadata preserved end to end. Re-wrap when speed matters, or transcode when the downstream workflow needs it, and bandwidth stays fully under your control so editors never notice a drop in performance.
