WHAT IS ingestLINE™ ?

The ingestLINE™ media transcription system from NOA Audio Solutions allows users to digitize extensive media collections easily, securely, and economically. Comprised of hardware and software components, and using built-in automation for maximum accuracy, the system notifies users of critical technical problems during transcription using traces-aided spot listening (TAS ) algorithm analysis, a common algorithmic recognition that is preset with different offsetsfor different carrier types. This quality-related information – collected at the moment of ingest – is then stored in the jobDB™ or mediARC™ workflow system, allowing for both a centralized quality assessment, and export from the workflow system into a BWF or into an XML report.

The algorithmic analysis system notifies users of critical technical problems during transcription and stores a detailed quality report along with the audiofile.

The analysed data gives an immediate hint towards problematic transfer zones, such as loss of bandwidth due to smeared heads, correlation swap due to mis-phased replayers and/or tapes as well as direct indication of anomalities of noisefloor raise. An especially viable azimuth analysis helps transfer technicians to align the azimuth correctly
during the transfer on the replayer itself. Besides quality events, a TAS (traces aided spotlistening) draws a complete analysis of events along the audio file. TAS as well as all quality related events are directly linked to the audiofile and behave in the NOA players as a zoomable and linked peakinformation to give – also in an asynchronous parallel transfer – at a later assessment step an immediate overview of the quality of the audiofile no matter from which carrier it has been ingested. This quality-related information – collected at the moment of ingest – is then stored in the jobDB™ or mediARC™ workflow system, allowing for both a centralized quality assessment, and export from the workflow system to mediARC or to a foreign MAM system.

ingestLINE COMPONENTS FOR DIFFERENT MEDIA TYPES

 

For each media type option, NOA provides a high-performance workstation with a configuration optimized for its respective audio processing needs. Standard Ethernet connects the host directly to the network so that any digitized WAV files are written to the public path, where other processors (such as the MediaButler, AutoCut or CEDARDeclicking) can process them before export/archiving. The N607x workstations carry out the host-based algorithmic recognition, as well as running the respective ingestLINE™ application on a certified basis.
