for additional information: Eyeheight gears for speed with faster-than-real-time conformance for Apple Final Cut Pro X File
conformance is something many editors leave their equipment working on
while the move to other tasks. Conforming a 30 minute programme on a
relatively low-specification computer can take as long as two hours
which can be frustrating if a client is pressing for early delivery.
Apple has made Final Cut Pro X a very popular editing package by making
full use of the hardware-accelerated graphics processing in the latest
Mac Pro. The BroadcastSafeFCPX plug-in Eyeheight is introducing at
IBC2014 in Eyeheight's
BroadcastSafe is a plug-in video legaliser which enables editors to
verify and conform content prior to submission to any file-based quality
control system. It can be used to perform composite, RGB, RGB-plus-Y and
simultaneous composite-plus-RGB legalising, all with operator-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. BroadcastSafeFCPX
will be introduced at IBC2014, Eyeheight
