Calibrated Software, an innovator of applications and plug-ins for video, asset management and mobile platforms, has released Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra Encode, a QuickTime Encode codec that enables exporting of up to 10-bit compressed AVC-Intra .MOV files from PC- and Mac-based applications that support QuickTime. Now available from http://www.calibratedsoftware.com, the product extends new options to professional content creators who need to export or deliver high-quality 10-bit compressed media from Windows or OSX platforms.

Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra Encode also introduces a unique Post-Encode feature that lets users embed Final Cut Pro X MetaData such as ReelName, Scene and Location information, and a Clip Memo into an AVC-Intra .MOV file after encoding. Once embedded, this information can be readily seen when imported into Final Cut Pro X. Additionally, the Post-Encode feature allows users to insert new timecode via a new TimeCode Track in the AVC-Intra .MOV file which can be seen by applications that support QuickTime TimeCode Tracks.

Key capabilities of Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra Encode include:

  • AVC-Intra encoding to QuickTime .MOV files from third party applications that support QuickTime
  • YUV conversion from either SMPTE RGB or full-range RGB
  • Support for 8/10-bit YUV 4:2:2 colorspace
  • Support for 8/16-bit RGB colorspace
  • 100Mb or 50Mb I-frame AVC-Intra compression at industry-standard resolutions and frame rates
  • A variety of gamma correction settings

“Native AVC-Intra among leading broadcast video servers and post platforms has enabled many enterprise facilities to use the award-winning 10-bit Intra frame AVC-Intra compression across platforms as a mezzanine compression format,” said Panasonic Senior Business Development Manager Michael Bergeron. “With solutions like Calibrated {Q} AVC-Intra Encode, independent post-production teams can easily share AVC-Intra files across more platforms and applications than ever before. This should help make AVC-Intra files as popular for content exchange and deliverables as they have been for acquisition.”

“Many PC professionals want to work with 10-bit compressed media but they may not be able to easily ‘hand off’ 10-bit compressed media to Mac professionals,” said Greg Booth, President, Calibrated Software. “Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra Encode solves this workflow hurdle for customers who are using Adobe After Effects or Adobe Premiere Pro CS5/CS6 applications on the PC so that they can now export AVC-Intra .MOV files which can easily be imported into Apple Final Cut Pro 7 or Apple Final Cut Pro X. It also opens up additional encoding options for customers using Adobe After Effects or Adobe Premiere Pro CS5/CS6, Compressor 3.5/4, or Apple Final Cut Pro 7/X on the Mac.”

AVC-Intra is an advanced 10-bit video compression technology developed by Panasonic for cameras in the company’s professional P2 product line. In addition to Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra Encode, Calibrated Software also offers Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra Decode, a cross-platform QuickTime Decode codec for viewing and playing back AVC-Intra .MOV files in QuickTime Player and other applications that support QuickTime.
