The latest version of Qvest’s clipbox is the first studio server to fully support a new renderless workflow powered by Web Render Engine (WRE) from Vidispine (Stand 7.A15). For newsroom editors and operators, this promises improved collaboration and reduced production delays. 

WRE stores and manages content efficiently without creating new files for every sequence.

Karsten Schragmann, Head of Product Management, Vidispine, said: “Only metadata is generated when users edit a sequence, eliminating the need for file movement or rendering. This enables multiple editors to work simultaneously on the same content from anywhere.” 

As clipbox supports WRE natively, no videos need rendering in advance. Even transitions can be executed in real time. The fast-turnaround workflow plays clips from shared memory, removing the need to copy them, and supports sequence playout while content is being recorded, which allows time delay playback. 

The updated clipbox also improves customisation for ingest and studio playout workflows, and provides full support for real-time rendering with transition effects, so users can play out sequences directly, without a vision mixer. 

It can also now create proxy files in parallel to HD or UHD recording that can be opened and edited during ingest and which are fully synchronised with the full resolution assets.
