NEXIO® FCP Integration Gateway
Final Cut Pro® On-San Editing Appliance
Servers // Specialty Servers
The NEXIO® FCP Integration Gateway from Harris is a specialized server used to
integrate Apple® Final Cut Pro® 7 (FCP) nonlinear editing workstations onto the
NEXIO® shared storage system. It is an advanced solution that simplifies the use
of the popular FCP editor in television news and sports environments — or any
broadcast operation seeking to benefit from the speed and resilience of the best-in-
class HD/SD NEXIO server.
Communication between the SAN and FCP workstations is facilitated using the
Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol. CIFS enables direct editing on the
SAN — even during ingest — as well as the sharing of media and timelines with
all other Harris® Velocity™ in-server editors. Specially designed FCP plug-ins —
NEXIO® Browser, NEXIO® Export, NRCS Tool, NEXIO® Sync, NEXIO® Timeline,
and NEXIO® InstantOnline™ — are provided to enable content and metadata
searches, browse viewing and shot selection, and to provide integration with NEXIO
Velocity editors, MOS newsroom computer systems, as well as the InstantOnline
III™ conforming engine.
Product Details
The NEXIO FCP Integration Gateway facilitates the integration of Apple® Final Cut Pro®
7 (FCP) nonlinear editing software with the NEXIO server system. It consists of a power-
ful Harris hardware platform with Harris software (CIFS Server and storage interface),
boasting a host of key integration features. Included in the bundle is a suite of plug-in
applications (NEXIO Browser, NEXIO Export, NRCS Tool, NEXIO InstantOnline, NEXIO
Timeline and NEXIO Sync) for installation on customer-provided Apple® FCP worksta-
tions.
The FCP Integration Gateway allows third-party editing directly on the NEXIO shared
storage system. The CIFS protocol facilitates the bridge between the NEXIO shared
storage system and Apple® computers running FCP. The CIFS Server application from
Harris displays a filtered list of supported content on the NEXIO shared storage system
and supports direct editing of that content without first copying clips to or from local
storage.
Edit-in-place support of DV25 / DVCPRO25, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO HD, AVC-Intra™, IMX
(30/40/50), XDCAM® HD (35 Mb), XDCAM HD422 (50 Mb), XDCAM EX, DNxHD, graph-
ics files (BMP, JPG, TGA, TIF, PSD, PNG) and PCM uncompressed audio formats are
supported. Enhanced handling for editing clips while being ingested, as well as the
ability to connect Windows® clients to the FCP Integration Gateway is also provided.
Editing in place is enabled by the use of one or more NEXIO FCP Integration Gateways
that present the NEXIO content to the FCP editor as though it were simply a network file
share. By connecting through the gateway, the NEXIO Browser exposes all compatible
MediaBase™ content as MOV files on the FCP client. NEXIO Browser also exposes stan-
dard MediaBase metadata, provides a preview window for quick reviewing of content,
allows metadata searches and manipulation, and enables immediate placing of desired
content from this window into the FCP bin by linking, not copying.
After NEXIO Browser has expedited the placing of content in FCP’s bin, the full feature
set of FCP is available for generating an edit. Completed edits are turned into new
high-resolution IDs by rendering flattened files back onto the NEXIO SAN with the NEXIO
Export plug-in. Completed edits can also be sent to a NEXIO InstantOnline III for remote
conforming with the NEXIO InstantOnline plug-in for FCP, freeing the editor to move
straight to the next task.
Harris Plug-ins for FCP:
NEXIO Browser
The NEXIO Browser will allow FCP users to see the NEXIO server systems clip list via a
MediaBase application specifically designed for the Apple® Mac® platform. The NEXIO
Browser window supports easy searching, viewing and importing of clips (links only –
not copying full bandwidth media) from its list into the bin on the FCP user interface.

Features
• Integrates Apple® Final Cut Pro® 7 into the NEXIO shared storage system
• Allows editing to begin during ingest
• Eliminates the need to move files via FTP
• Simplifies media management
• Allows content playout to air while the timeline is rendering
• Share content with all connected editing clients
• Protects content via RAIDsoft™ software RAID storage protection
• Supports DV25 / DVCPRO25, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO HD, AVC-Intra, IMX
(30/40/50), XDCAM HD (35Mbit), XDCAM HD422 (50Mbit), XDCAM EX,
DNxHD, graphics files (BMP, JPG, TGA, TIF, PSD, PNG), PCM uncompressed
audio
NEXIO Browser displays all available NEXIO metadata fields, with the ability to pick which
fields are displayed. Metadata can be searched using simple text-based searches, as
well as manipulated based on user privileges. It also includes a built-in QuickTime®
viewer than allows the user to play the clips and confirm the media contents before
importing it into FCP’s bin. When importing media from NEXIO Browser into FCP’s bin,
the user can choose which project bin the clips will be imported into. Multiple clips can
be selected at one time. NEXIO Browser also includes an option for the user to copy
media from the NEXIO shared storage to the local FCP workstation if so desired.
NEXIO Export
NEXIO Export is used for outputting the edited timeline sequence from FCP to a single
file (with NEXIO metadata) for playback on the NEXIO server system. NEXIO Export will
export any FCP sequence back to the NEXIO SAN as a single flattened file. The full
toolset of FCP effects can be used in the sequence. NEXIO Export will export sequences
that contain NEXIO SAN content, local content or a mix of local and NEXIO SAN media.
NRCS Tool
From a window in FCP, users can view rundowns, stories and scripts (text and MOS
elements) from the newsroom computer system without the need for PC emulation
software. Additionally, the NRCS Tool window supports recording voiceovers at the edit
seat. A pop-up window provides timed playout of script text, while the voiceover audio
goes directly to the FCP timeline, with audio being stored on the local FCP computer
until the final edit is committed to the NEXIO shared storage system.
NEXIO InstantOnline
NEXIO InstantOnline is used for outputting an edited timeline sequence from FCP as
XML (with NEXIO metadata) for remote conforming on the InstantOnline III automatic
conforming engine. Exporting the FCP sequence to InstantOnline III frees up the editing
workstation so the next job can be started immediately.
NEXIO Timeline
NEXIO Timeline is a simple plug-in that allows FCP users to import timelines created by
Harris® Velocity ESX™, Velocity XNG™ and Velocity PRX™ editors. NEXIO Timeline simpli-
fies the import process by automatically linking the media in the imported timeline to
the media that resides on the NEXIO SAN.
NEXIO Sync
NEXIO Sync is a plug-in that resides in the Apple® menu bar while the FCP application
is running. NEXIO Sync will notify the user of growing clips (currently being ingested) in
their bin and allow the user to update the clips duration within the FCP project.
