intoPIX JPEG XS Plugin for Adobe
JPEG XS Plugin for Adobe Premiere® by intoPIX
Supercharge your workflow with intoPIX plugin, importing, editing and exporting JPEG XS MXF files along with up to 32 uncompressed audio channels. Full-featured and flexible, Adobe Premiere Pro is the industry-leading video editing software to create for web, TV, and feature productions.
Embedding the FastTICO-XS SDK, this plugin enables super-fast encoding and decoding in CPU or GPU, with ultra low latency video editing in HD, 4K and 8K. Among many other export options, it offers the possibility to select the desired video compression rate, the JPEG XS encoding profile, the pixel format (RGB 4:4:4, UYVY 4:2:2 or V210 4:2:2) as well as the audio channels sample depth and layout (mono, stereo, 5.1, etc.)
The values for your workflow
- HD, 4K, 8K editing at the speed of light with a normal laptop: You can import, play, export easily and rapidly HD, 4K & 8K videos. Thanks to JPEG XS, you preserve the topest image quality and process the content with the lowest latency.
- Proxies are part of the master in your JPEG XS MXF file, so you can (re)view HD, 4K or 8K JPEG XS files by just displaying a sub-resolution of it, which significantly reduces the bandwidth and computational load of the editing or the playback. The plugin enables you to switch instantly between full and lower resolutions.

Cloud Dubbing
Localization service provider, ZOO Digital has developed a cloud dubbing service that overcomes a number of industry challenges – including capacity, voice talent diversity, quality and time-to-market for dubbed entertainment content.
The platform behind the service works like an online recording studio. Unlike the traditional approach to dubbing in which those involved are required to attend sessions in one central studio, ZOO’s cloud dubbing service makes use of purpose-made software to manage the entire process remotely over the internet.
| Giving Content Owners Choice |
In the traditional dubbing workflow, voice actors, dubbing directors, recording engineers and other participants assemble in the same physical location, presenting significant challenges for coordinating diaries and travel. Most traditional dubbing studios draw on a relatively limited pool of voice talent living nearby in order to minimize travel and subsistence expenses. This leads to the same voices being heard repeatedly for dubbed soundtracks across multiple titles.
In contrast, cloud technology provides a way for participants to collaborate efficiently online and scale up operations with a distributed team.
The potential for using general recording spaces, vocal booths and even home recording is significant. Subject to adequate acoustic treatment and the availability of a suitable microphone, such spaces give almost limitless capacity for voice capture – and more options for content owners.
| Innovative Cloud Technology |
ZOO is adopting new ways of working, powered by cloud computing, to boost volume, quality and turnaround. Rather than using technically-complex generalist audio tools, the localization service provider has created purpose-made, cloud-based platform that is designed to be used by the voice actors themselves, thereby reducing costs and accelerating production.
Crucially for the entertainment industry, ZOO’s cloud dubbing service affords higher levels of content security.
In traditional workflows, reference video materials are delivered to each dubbing studio. Watermarks and spoilers are applied to protect content from the risk of leaks and piracy. However, cloud computing offers technical innovations with far greater protection – watermarks are personalized for individual voice actors; two-factor authentication is employed and user interactions with original content can be tracked and audited.
| Implementation and Performance |
Since the launch of the cloud dubbing service in 2017, it has proved to achieve greater results for clients. Content owners are seeing the productivity of cloud dubbing projects increase by up to ten-times the traditional model – while maintaining quality standards.
Adopted by major OTT operators, studios and broadcasters, the service is now delivering over 150 hours of dubbed content every month.
For voice talent and dubbing directors, the platform is user-friendly without requiring extensive training. Subject to their chosen recording environment meeting ZOO’s stringent qualification tests, new voice artists can be on-boarded for projects quickly regardless of their location around the world.
| New Opportunities |
Reduced costs open up the potential to dub a wider range of content for more territories. Improved efficiency leads to shorter time to market for global launches. And by removing the requirement for a central recording studio per country, content owners have access to a larger pool of voice talent – offering greater variation and expertise.
Cloud dubbing is already transforming the localization process for TV and movie content owners. Ask ZOO Digital about it today.

ADN PLAY
NLE for remote production
ADN PLAY relies on DASH to offer a full remote experience. Access to your content from local or public network: video bandwidth adapts itself in accordance with the available network bandwidth.
Easy to use
For an efficient experience, ADN Play combines linear and non-linear navigation with its online storyboard. Audio waveforms make segment selection easy.
Frame Accurate
ADN PLAY offers a frame accurate solution: timecode used in adaptative formats is the same as HR original timecode. That allows ADN Play to export frame accurate EDL to post-production environment when consolidated work is necessary.
Integrated solution
ADN PLAY is fully integrated to its environment and allows to send segments, or a list of segments, to any post-production platform available on the market.
Operative solution
In production since 2019
Awarded by French broadcast community in 2019 (Trophées du Satis)
ADN PLAY ADVANCE
ADN PLAY ADVANCE offers you a turnkey solution to view all of your videos with precision, listen Dolby E and edit subtitles.
Frame accurate
It has been studied to offer the highest fluidity possible, while keeping frame accuracy.
To navigate, you can use both the native timecode information from the video or set a CTL (frame counter).
Variable speed playback (from -16 to 16 times real-time speed), including several slow-motion speeds and direct access to any frame of the video file lets you view efficiently large quantities of programs in record time.
AES stereo and Dolby E compliant
with a single click, you may select the audio channel (up to 8 channels) to listen to stereo or Dolby E channel.
Option: ADN DASHBOARD solution let you create or modify audio versions (Dolby E from AES Stereo, AES Stereo from Dolby E, audio mapping…).
HD SDI
With the HD SDI interface, you can view your media on an external broadcast monitor. You thus benefit from optimal HD/SD rendering and may then insert the signal in any existing technical infrastructure.
Selection and export
ClipList module allows you to mark the relevant segments with a few clicks as well as identify them.
Project module extends this function to let you create a full post-production project, entering its key features (title, author, comment). You can then manage rushes from separate videos within this project.
Subtitling
With the Subtitling module, ADN PLAY Advance becomes a multi-format subtitles editor. ADN PLAY Advance will display subtitles synchronized with video, whether these come from an MXF file with embedded subtitles in OP47 format or from external subtitle files in STL/PAC format.
Each of the existing subtitles can be edited. You can easily amend content and correct any defects found within your subtitle (synchronization with video, content and color of text, vertical position, text size and alignment, adding or removing items).
Once all corrections have been made, a new STL file can be produced by the application.
When handling OP47 subtitles, an STL file can be extracted or conversely sent to the ADN ENGINE platform to produce a new MXF OP1a file.
This module also works in HD SDI mode.
In résumé… ADN PLAY ADVANCE is a unique NLE solution to:
- - view content (DNX HD, ProRes, XDCAM HD, IMX50, H264…)
- - listen DOLBY E,
- - select and export segment,
- - manage and edit subtitling.
- - Fully integrated to your workflow,
- - JSON, XML, webservice, deeplink compliant
