Media 100, a leading provider of advanced
editing systems for the corporate, broadcast, post-production,
and new media industries, today announced the release of version
12.7.
The new release offers menu-level integration
with
Sony’s XDCAM Transfer utility: imported XDCAM media is
automatically transcoded to any supported video format including
Media 100 HD or Apple’s ProRes 422 codecs and appears in
Media 100 bins, ready for editing in Media 100. Also new in
Version 12.7 is an improvement to Media 100 ‘s HDV Acquire
function; operators may now optionally defer the transcoding
process on systems with lower processing bandwidth, allowing
for a seamless workflow.
"Boris FX continues it's steady, sure
pace with this seventh release since acquiring Media 100 in
September 2005. We are pleased to offer these highly-requested
features to our users. We are committed to ensuring that our
products offer users the tools needed to get their jobs done
in an easy to learn, easy to use environment", commented
Wickham Strub, Product Manager for Media 100 Editing Systems
at Boris FX.
