Calibrated Software Announces Importing and Decoding Tools

Calibrated Software announced an enhanced family of cross-platform tools to streamline and speed the process of viewing and using high-definition camera and other video files within popular post-production systems and editing packages:

Calibrated{Q} MXF Import — A QuickTime plug-in that accelerates the editing process for Final Cut Studio applications by enabling native importing and playback of Material eXchange Format (MXF) files from Panasonic P2, Sony XDCAM-HD, Ikegami GFCam HD cameras and MXF files from Avid Media Composer. Calibrated{Q} MXF Import eliminates the need to log and transfer within Final Cut Pro and allows native use of these MXF files in other QuickTime-enabled programs.

Calibrated{Q} MP4-EX Import — A QuickTime plug-in offering native import and playback of MP4 files from JVCPro HD HM700 and Sony XDCAM EX cameras with the same workflow advantages as Calibrated Software's MXF Import tool. JVCPro HD HM700 and Sony XDCAM EX MP4 files can be imported and played directly without logging and transferring clips and can also be used natively in other QuickTime-enabled applications.

Calibrated{Q} Decode Codecs — A family of cross-platform, multi-threaded decoders that allows the freedom to view and share QuickTime movies on Macintosh and Windows systems without having specific editing software installed. Using Calibrated{Q} Decode codecs, movies in various proprietary QuickTime formats can be viewed directly from applications that support QuickTime.

Calibrated{Q} decoders are available for viewing and sharing DVCProHD, XDCAM HD/EX, HDV, IMX and DV50 QuickTime movies. Calibrated{Q} Decode codecs feature a range of gamma settings, color options and other advanced decoding capabilities. When used in conjunction with Calibrated Software's MXF Import or MP4-EX Import products, Calibrated{Q} decoders can turn the QuickTime player into a native player for Panasonic P2, Sony XDCAM-HD, Ikegami GFCam and Avid Media Composer MXF files or a native player for JVCPro HD HM700 and Sony XDCAM EX MP4 files.
