Editing Video server (section)

=== Features ===

Typically, a video server can do the following:

* Ingest of different sources : [[video cameras]] (multiple angles), [[satellite]] [[data feed]]s, [[disk drives]] and other video servers. This can be done in different [[codecs]].
* Temporary or definitive storage of these video feeds.
* Maintain a clear structure of all stored media with appropriate [[metadata]] to allow fast search : name, remarks, rating, date, [[time code]], etc.
* [[video editing]] of the different [[digital video|clips]]
* Transfer those [[digital video|clips]] to other video servers or [[playout]] directly (via [[Internet Protocol|IP]] interface or SDI)
 
Generally, they have several bi directional channels (record and ingest) for video and audio. A perfect synchronisation is necessary between those channels to manage the feeds.
