(IBC- Amsterdam, Netherlands--September 16, 2008) Aspera Inc., creator of next-generation file transport technologies, today announced that its plug-in for Avid® Interplay® Transfer, a solution developed for high-speed workgroup-to-workgroup transfer of rich media - via the Avid Transfer Engine, is now qualified for the Avid Interplay product line.
The plug-in allows Interplay users to exchange HD video sequences, clips and even entire projects over the wide area network, at maximum speed, regardless of file size, transfer distance and network conditions.
The Aspera Plug-in interfaces with Avid Interplay Transfer to provide high-speed Aspera transfer capability directly from Avid editing applications. Editors can send media to remote Avid workgroups with automatic check in of media to Interplay, or transfer files directly to any host running Aspera server software. Using Aspera’s innovative fasp™ transport protocol, Avid projects can be moved securely and reliably within predictable timeframes, even at global distances. Avid Interplay Transfer is a key component of the Avid Interplay system and manages processor-intensive media transfers to an Avid Unity™, Avid Unity ISIS® based solution, Avid editing system or supported video server.
“The Aspera Plug-in further extends Interplay Transfer with high-performance transport over the wide area fully within the Avid environment, a valuable capability for our broadcast and post-production clients collaborating at global distances,” said Sam Bogoch, Worldwide Director of Infrastructure Solutions at Avid. “We are delighted to support companies like Aspera, who are building on our APIs to extend the native capabilities of our Interplay solution.”
“We worked closely with Avid to ensure the Aspera Plug-in is fully compatible with the Interplay product line to provide a seamless experience for Avid users,” said Chris Markle, vice president engineering services with Aspera. “Broadcasters and post-production facilities can exchange high-resolution media with other workgroups, remote locations, and supported third-party systems directly from their editors and automatically import transferred media directly into Interplay clients.”
The Plug-in has been validated with the current version of Interplay and will be available with updated documentation and packaging in Q4 2008. The solution provides a superior alternative to traditional transfer solutions, allowing Avid users to exchange high-quality content more quickly than ever before.
