Media 100, a leading provider of advanced editing systems for the corporate, broadcast, postproduction, and new media industries, today announced that Media 100 Suite Version 1.6 is now available. Version 1.6 supports Calibrated Software’s Calibrated{Q} MXF Import, AVC-Intra Decode, and DVCProHD Decode products, allowing Media 100 Suite editors to directly open MXF files, import and playback AVC-Intra media, and playback media created in the DVCProHD codec. In addition, Version 1.6 includes Boris XML Transfer Version 2 for Media 100 Suite, giving users the ability to export Media 100 Suite timelines to Adobe After Effects CS5.

“We are thrilled to partner with Media 100 to deliver expanded codec support to Media 100’s loyal customer base,” commented Greg Booth, President, Calibrated Software. “By using Calibrated Software’s Calibrated{Q} MXF Import, AVC-Intra Decode, and DVCProHD Decode products, Media 100 Suite editors can now quickly view and use material acquired for today’s tapeless digital formats.”

Media 100 Suite Version 1.6 New Feature Highlights

• AVC-Intra Support. Version 1.6 provides a new file menu option for Calibrated Software’s Calibrated{Q} MXF Import for OS X. This product allows Media 100 Suite editors to open MXF files directly. When Calibrated{Q} MXF Import is used in conjunction with Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra Decode, editors can quickly import and edit files from cameras that record in the AVC-Intra codec. In addition, Calibrated{Q} AVC-Intra Decode allows Media Suite 100 editors to play media created in the AVC-Intra codec.

• DVCProHD Playback. Version 1.6 integrates with Calibrated Software’s Calibrated{Q} DVCProHD Decode product, giving Media 100 Suite editors the ability to play DVCProHD media on systems that do not have Apple Final Cut Pro installed.

• Support for Adobe After Effects CS5. Version 1.6 includes Boris XML Transfer Version 2 for Media 100 Suite, providing full support for Adobe After Effects CS5 in 64-bit mode.

• Intelligent Folder Import. A new intelligent folder import option recognizes certain file and folder patterns – for example, the Panasonic P2 folder pattern that commonly holds AVC-Intra media – and selectively imports files from those folders.

• Faster Rendering. Version 1.6 features faster rendering of multi-layer Boris RED filters.
