File-Based Media Terminology

When you ingest file-based media using the Log and Transfer window, it’s important to know the following concepts and definitions:

åIngest: A general term for the process of transferring video, audio, and metadata from one media storage system to another. Depending on the context, ingest may mean any of the following:

åTransferring data between different computer platforms or file systems, such as between a P2 file system and Mac OS X

åTransferring data between different storage media, such as from tape to hard disk (also known as capturing)

åAdding media files from your local scratch disk to a nonlinear editing system to create clips that point to the media (also called importing)

åConverting media between different container file formats, such as from MXF files to QuickTime files

åTranscoding video and audio data to different formats, such as from AVC-Intra 1080i footage to Apple ProRes 422 codec 1080i footage

åLog and Transfer window plug-in:A software plug-in that extends the capabilities of the Log and Transfer window to preview and ingest specific media formats.

Final Cut Pro includes default plug-ins for formats such as the Panasonic P2 format, but additional plug-ins can be installed as manufacturers introduce new formats.

åStorage media: File-based media where your footage is recorded. Examples include Panasonic P2 cards, Sony SxS cards, hard disks, Sony Professional Discs, and miniDVDs. A single unit of storage media (such as a Panasonic P2 card or a Sony Professional Disc) is generically called a storage media unit.

åMedia device: A camcorder, deck, card reader, or other device capable of reading and writing to file-based storage media. These devices can usually be connected to a Mac computer via a USB or FireWire cable.

Note: External hard drives are considered media devices whose storage media is permanently installed.

åMedia volume: A media device or an equivalent disk image mounted on the

Mac OS X desktop. The Log and Transfer window displays only media volumes whose file and directory structures are recognized by the installed Log and Transfer window plug-ins. This may be called a volume for short.

åDisk image: A file that stores a representation of a media volume. You can create a disk image of a mounted volume using the Log and Transfer window or built-in Mac OS X utilities.

6 specifications

The Apple iPhone 6, released in September 2014, marked a significant evolution in Apple's smartphone lineup. This model introduced a larger screen and a sleeker design, setting the stage for future devices in the iPhone series.

One of the most notable features of the iPhone 6 was its display. With a 4.7-inch Retina HD screen, the iPhone 6 offered a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels, delivering vibrant colors and sharp images. This screen size was a departure from previous models, appealing to users who favored larger displays for better viewing experiences, whether for gaming, watching videos, or browsing the web.

The design of the iPhone 6 was another highlight. It featured a slim, curved aluminum body that not only made it more aesthetically pleasing but also improved its ergonomics. Weighing just 129 grams, the phone was light yet robust. The placement of volume buttons, the power button, and the headphone jack was thoughtfully designed to enhance usability.

Under the hood, the iPhone 6 was powered by the A8 chip, a 64-bit dual-core processor that offered impressive performance and energy efficiency. Coupled with the M8 motion coprocessor, the device could effectively handle demanding apps and services while optimizing battery life, providing users with a smooth experience throughout the day.

The camera capabilities of the iPhone 6 were also advanced for its time. It featured an 8-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization and a f/2.2 aperture, allowing for clearer low-light photography. The front-facing camera was improved as well, offering a 1.2-megapixel resolution and support for 720p HD video, making it great for selfies and video calls.

Connectivity options included LTE support, enabling faster download speeds, and Wi-Fi calling, which allowed users to make calls over Wi-Fi networks, enhancing communication in areas with poor cellular coverage. The iPhone 6 also introduced the Apple Pay feature, allowing users to make secure transactions using their devices.

In terms of software, the iPhone 6 originally came with iOS 8, which boasted new features such as HealthKit and HomeKit, further integrating technology into daily life. Regular software updates ensured that users could enjoy the latest features and security enhancements well into the device's lifecycle.

Overall, the iPhone 6 distinguished itself with a combination of innovative design, powerful performance, and a user-friendly experience, solidifying Apple's position in the smartphone market and paving the way for future iterations in the iPhone lineup.
