Nexio Motion

Intelligent Media Movement

Nexio Motion is the integration and workflow

enablement platform for Imagine storage and playout
solutions. The system creates automated processes
that moves and manages media between Imagine
products, storage and third party solutions, kicking off
workflows such as quality control, transcoding, restore
from archive and many more.

Transform media from one file format to another by incorporating a SelenioFlex File transcoder for ingest into your
Nexio Motion environment, publishing for OTT, or a multitude of other integrations. In addition to these automatic
operations, processes can be triggered manually, and priorities can be modified based on your immediate needs.

Nexio Motion is a utility layer that performs a connectivity and workflow path between Imagine solutions such as
Versio, Nexio and Nexio Insight.

Typical utility workflows include:

Trigger workflows automatically based on new, updated or deleted media in storage

Schedule tasks at fixed times and dates
Start workflows from external systems such as Imagine Communications automation and media asset
management
Copy, move, delete, rename, check IDs and retrieve metadata from video file servers and other storage
Archive, restore and transcode
Monitor storage usage, and automatically e-mail system administrators
Query the traffic system to extract a purge list
Import work order lists of material to process
Design or modify processes with the user interface based configuration tools (training and support fees
applicable)

Additional configurations and processes can be designed in conjunction with Imagine professional services to
meet your requirements.
