Eyeheight on stand 8.B97 at IBC 2015, Eyeheight announces free test-drive of its broadcast compliance plug-ins London,
"BroadcastSafe
has proved a very successful product," comments Eyeheight Sales
Director Martin Moore. "Much of that success derives from
recommendations by established broadcasters, post-production houses and
independent editors. These downloads will remain fully functional until
September 2015. Permanently licensed versions can then be purchase at a
very cost effective price up to the end of that month. We are
confident that users of the industry's leading editing workstation
software around the globe will appreciate the ability to test-drive
BroadcastSafe without the restrictions usually imposed on demonstration
software. The complete toolset is fully active and allows files to be
saved for actual use." BroadcastSafe
is a complete plug-in legaliser, safe-area generator and graphic
measurement toolset. It allows users to verify and conform content prior
to submission to any file-based quality control system. BroadcastSafe
can perform composite, RGB, RGB-plus-Y and simultaneous composite-plus-RGB
legalising, all with user-adjustable soft clipping at high and low
thresholds. Precise chroma-space conversion and accurate limiting ensure
compliance while keeping the full gamut available for creative use. Editors
can select from an extensive range of presets, or work in custom mode
which gives full access to 15 configurable parameters. Facility
administrators can assign which built-in presets are available to users,
create new presets or disable the custom option to ensure that only
approved configurations are implemented. An
integral Broadcast Evaluate display indicates which parts of a video
image require adjustment in order to be fully broadcast compliant.
Non-compliant areas of content are displayed in a user-definable colour
with the option of manual or automatic correction, giving editors
greater choice in the way they work. BroadcastEvaluate
supports all common compliance standards. Users can alternatively define
their own compliance standard as an XML file. Also
integral to BroadcastSafe is BroadcastSafeArea. This allows a wide range
of graticules to be superimposed over the video monitor display.
BroadcastSafeArea supports a multitude of standards including SMPTE, EBU
and DPP, in 525/625 standard definition, 720/1080 high definition and 2K
line formats. Also included is a centre marker plus a measurement
utility to ensure minimum text height conformance in commercials. Any
marker colour can be assigned by the operator. Easy
to install and seamless to operate, BroadcastSafe is available in three
versions: BroadcastSafePP for Adobe Premiere Pro on Microsoft Windows or
Apple OS X operating systems; BroadcastSafeFX for Apple Final Cut (for
Apple OS X); BroadcastSafeMC for Avid Media Composer (for Microsoft
Windows or Apple OS X). BroadcastSafe
