MediaReactor II Released by Drastic DVC
December 03, 2004
Herrshing, DE - Drastic/DVC launched its new digital media transcoder, MediaReactor II, that converts, encodes and transcodes all popular file formats. With the multitude of codecs, image data from almost any broadcast and production system can be imported into a Storage Area Network (SAN) and stored, for example, as dpx files, the company describes.
With the PreView Software Player all files can be played back and viewed “directly from disk”. With the Digital Media Transcoder a SAN solution can be implemented with various ingest, processing and editing functions. Within a 2K D1 workflow the ingest can be done with ClipRecorder (also from DVC), the colour correction with DaVinci and the editing with AVID, with all three systems having direct access to the automatically transcoded files from MediaReactor.
As MediaReactor supports WMT-9 and MPEG Encoding additionally to file transcoding, it is also ideally applicable as a bridge between postproduction and playout servers.
For eCinema advertising solutions MediaReactor is used as a transcoding and encoding station. In this scenario virtually all HD and SD files can be imported, scaled and encoded. For transfer and playout the transcoding / encoding station provides a DVB compatible MPEG transport stream.
The above examples highlight only a fraction of the numerous application areas of MediaReactor for film, post production, broadcast, DVD-creation and eCinema.
The most important attributes of MediaReactor at a glance are:
- Central Media Transcoder for all current file formats
- Video content conversion into streaming formats
- Browse, PreView, Scaling and De-Interlace functions
- Watch Folder for automatic conversion into one or several target file formats
MediaReactor supports all established HW Codecs, including AVID, Matrox, SGI, SUN, Pinnacle, AJA, Bluefish, DVS as well as all Windows
Software codecs.
DVC delivers the MediaReactor II as a software package for Windows or integrated into a Digital Media Transcoding station.
