"Our clients consistently rely on us for flexible HD workflow options," said Pierre L'Hoest, CEO of EVS. "By supporting the Avid DNxHD codec on our XT[2] server, we can now provide our mutual clients with the solution they need to design even more realistic, speedy, reliable workflows for their HD productions, and give them more options for third-party interoperability and future upgrades." Due to the XT[2] server's native support of the DNxHD codec, no transcoding process is required between the XT[2] and Avid's post production tools. Native media quality is also preserved throughout any transfer processes. The
Avid DNxHD codec was approved by the SMPTE organization as the
framework for the VC-3 family of standards, which enable content
creators to facilitate efficient encoding and exchange of HD media, and
are the first SMPTE standards for intra-frame, 720/1080 raster, 8/10
bit and 4:2:2 HD post production. This VC-3 standard will enable
unprecedented interoperability between any licensed users of the codec,
including Avid and EVS. "We have been partners with Avid for a long time," said Fred Garroy, General Manager of EVS Americas. "We are proud to say that our interoperability is increasing with this latest development, and we look forward to our continued success together." © Copyright 2006-2009 sportsvideogroup |
