FrameFormer conversion – Hiscale FLICS
The integration will benefit broadcasters and content owners who face unexpected needs for frame rate and format conversion, such as when footage that was expected to be 1080 50i turns out to be 720 30p, and there’s no option to reshoot, or when a client requests a clip for integration into a UHD 59p program, but the only version on the server is HD 50i.
Keeping a standards converter on standby for such situations is not cost-effective. That's why InSync and Hiscale have joined forces to create a new option for pay-per-use standards conversion — FrameFormer for FLICS. With FrameFormer for FLICS, users pay for time-limited use on their preferred cloud platform, so there’s no large upfront cost to start using a new converter, and the customer avoids being locked into a costly contract with a single vendor.
FrameFormer is a high quality, motion compensated standards converter that offers frame rate and format conversion including de-interlacing, up/down/cross conversion, aspect ratio conversion, cadence management, and SDR/HDR/WCG tools for all types of content, from sub-QCIF up to 8K and beyond. FrameFormer has been carefully designed and finely tuned over many years to provide reliable conversions with automated settings, enabling fast deployment without lengthy parameter setup.
Accessing FrameFormer via FLICS provides the ultimate in flexibility, enabling customers to use their in-house processing resources as far as they can stretch, then offload peak demand into the cloud as required. FLICS incorporates transcoding, open APIs for integration into any preferred workflow, auto-scaling to handle incoming peak demand, and load distribution to make the most of available resources.

EditReady
Crafted transcoding & color science
Transcode and re-wrap footage into high quality editable formats. Get the best results without a complicated setup. Carefully selected defaults mean you're up and running in no time.
Widest RAW support, ever.
As well as supporting just about every MOV, MXF, MP4, and Quicktime file, EditReady lets you work with all the popular RAW formats: Sony, RED, BRAW, ProRes RAW, ARRI RAW (inc. Super 35), and Canon RAW.
Incredibly fast, incredibly precise
Built for speed and optimised for the power of both old and new Macs, EditReady works with all flavours of Apple silicon and GPU acceleration you can throw at it. From camera to your NLE, in record time.
"Obviously late to the game on this one, but absolutely love how fast EditReady is. Going to be my media transcoder of choice from here on out." D.L. Watson - Video Producer
True codec support
Using each manufacturers' original SDK wherever possible to ensure the best quality transcodes. No unofficial frameworks and zero hacks. Every codec gets transcoded as its makers intended it to.
Review and edit metadata
EditReady lets you view and edit all of the metadata associated with your file, including location data, camera settings, and diagnostic information. Use metadata to automatically rename files, or burn data into overlays.
Dealing with RAW
With RAW, accuracy is paramount. EditReady uses each vendor's specific RAW decoder, using the vendor preferred Log format to reflect the original shooting intent. The end result? A high quality proxy that's easy to edit with, with all the flexibility a non-RAW format carries.
Color Awareness
When a shoot mixes camera formats, you'll end up with a variety of color spaces, Log types, HDR formats, and LUTs. EditReady's unique color pipeline make this a breeze, translating everything to what you need it to be, without compromises.
Play back, trim, add LUTs
And there's more: screen your camera's original media files before you transcode them, apply a LUT to preview your Log media with or without a specific predetermined look, check your previewed clip in ScopeBox via our integrated ScopeLink connection, and set In and Out points to avoid transcoding unwanted parts of your clips.
Overlays and burn-ins
Use the overlay editor to position graphical elements for compositing on top of your video. Import images with alpha channels to apply complex bugs or watermarks. Layout custom formatted text, including metadata values from the source media. Use the overlay tool to burn-in timecode, reel names, shoot dates, media names, and other metadata.
