Media 100 Announces New Product Line at NAB
April 24, 2006
Las Vegas, NV - Media 100 announced their new product roadmap at NAB. The new product line brings 10-bit uncompressed HD and SD editing and broadcast-quality format conversion to Mac OS X® using industry-standard AJA Kona capture cards. The new product line includes Media 100 HD Suite, Media 100 HDe and Media 100 SDe.
Based on the Media 100 version 11 systems, these new solutions provide the opportunity for future growth without compromising existing investments. Media 100 users with systems that use the HDx Technology will still be able to take advantage of software-only upgrades.
With a familiar interface and up to 99 video tracks, these systems allow users to easily design complex compositions by instantly viewing all graphics and video elements in both the sub sampler window and the output video monitor. Each track can include video, motion graphics with alpha channels, and still image data.
"As a long time user of Media 100 I am very pleased that Media 100 is continuing to enhance the core capabilities of their brilliant editing systems," comments Floh Peters, owner, Magic Eye. "By supporting AJA and adding new features such as support for SDI embedded audio and the ability to work with compressed HD material, we are able to realize the benefits of the latest technologies our industry has to offer."
"The new generation of Media 100 products provides an easy upgrade path to new Apple platforms for existing customers, preserving their investment and experience with the Media 100 system," said Boris Yamnitsky, Boris FX president and founder. "Leveraging the performance of the AJA video hardware allows our engineering resources to focus on enhancing Media 100 features and performance while maintaining the high quality of customer service and support."
The flagship product, Media 100 HD Suite is a new SD and HD nonlinear editor that includes integrated 3D compositing, titling and effects. Media 100 HD Suite not only bridges the HD/SD gap, but also serves as the hub for digital post. Media 100 HD Suite provides full 2D and 3D compositing and the industry's most advanced 2D and 3D titling, without the aggravation of importing and exporting. You can conform SD to HD or HD to SD during capture or output.
With the power of AJA's Kona 3 video capture card and the easy to use Media 100 interface, this suite was developed to make it easy to edit in a hybrid environment of mixed formats and codecs.
Media 100 HDe is a SD and HD nonlinear editing solution that allows users to mix multiple input and output sources, handle multiple file formats and deliver multiple versions. Mix legacy Media 100 content with multiple QuickTime codecs and native DV content—in the same timeline, in real-time, without importing or re-rendering. Down convert your HD to SD during capture or output and monitor HD down converts to 4:3 while you edit. Video capture is provided by AJA’s Kona LHe board. Built on the familiar Media 100 user interface, Media 100 HDe also offers powerful features like a multi-track timeline, advanced keying and a motion alpha channel that is real-time in SD and accelerated in HD.
Media 100 SDe is an SD nonlinear editing solution that features the easy to use Media 100 interface with the cost-effective AJA Kona LSe board. This solution lets editors, event videographers, and corporate video producers edit productively now, without closing the door on future expansion into HD. The flexible user interface is appropriate for any level of user experience. This system is easily upgradeable and features a modular design so users can add features as needs develop. Media 100 i users can easily bring their exist projects and media to the Media 100 SDe system.
