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.
