InSync Technology is a specialist in motion compensated frame rate conversion. Content owners with assets that aren’t in the format or frame rate needed for their chosen audience’s displays must carry out standards conversion in order to match the various display sizes and frame rates. Good standards conversion is essential to preserve the quality (and therefore the value) of the material.
FrameFormer by InSync is a software motion compensated standards converter that is available as a plug-in for the popular Final Cut Pro X non-linear editor.

FrameFormer conversion – Dalet Amberfin
High quality motion compensated frame rate conversion is now available as an optional upgrade within the Dalet Amberfin media processing platform. This 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.
Using FrameFormer's unique and advanced algorithms file-based content can now be converted with the smoothest motion possible.
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.

Medway
Medway enabled a complete digital workflow ensuring Edit Platforms, MAMs, Video Servers and Archive Systems can work seamlessly together.
Medway is a cloud and ground media-savvy middleware, widely used in the industry by many organisations such as Discovery, CBS, BBC, RTVE, MDR and ABS-CBN. Usually it is used to integrate network contacted and incompatible systems, such as post-production, DAM, transmission and media servers.
Intelligent media file, metadata, control and status management are key to the operation of Medway. However, with Medway the level of granularity and quality of these integrations is technically far superior to any other cloud or ground based system or service,
It is a simple concept; Medway integrates incompatible systems, It also manages incompatible media and metadata, presenting it in a way that interoperates easily between multiple systems.
However, for many applications this capability is useful, but not enough for more sophisticated workflows and use cases. In this short explanation we describe why Medway is a more useful infrastructure component and why it has more capability and why it’s a better strategic choice when considering both ground and cloud based workflows.

The industry's lowest latency I/O, by design
4K Neutron has, by design, the world's lowest-latency providing access to captured fields or frames to on-board card memory event before the whole field or frame is complete, thereby reducing the latency to sub on field or frame. During a capture or playout, each process can occur at less than or equal to 1 field for interlaced modes, and less than 1 frame for progressive modes.

Etere Subtitling and Closed Caption Software
With one single licence, you can have all the functions you need to manage closed and open captions. Etere Subtitling and Closed Caption software manages production, approval and transmission.
Etere Subtitling and Closed Caption Software is a digital platform for the creation, management, burning, playout and conversion of subtitles, captions and other text services for production, post-production and live shows. It allows broadcasters to freely produce subtitles in multi-languages and for multi-platforms, search by metadata and streamline the process with real-time sharing of edits without hardware. Operators are able to insert live captions, open captions and closed captions including ARIB and Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) via ETX inserter. Etere MOS connection supports teleprompter and provides a seamless integration with newsroom. For live subtitling, Etere MOS connector connects with NCS Server to receive rundowns and import subtitles from the rundown directly with extremely fast speed and accuracy. Etere also supports FTP connection to newsroom for live news. For a complete management, Etere Subtitling and Closed Caption Software makes it easy for broadcasters to monitor and verify all captions to comply with closed captioning laws across different countries.

Mistika VR
Mistika VR integrates VR 360 and other immersive formats in the workflow of traditional post-production pipelines, solving all the particularities of the media while sufficiently overlapping with further stages in the production chain.
In principle, the complexity to integrate this format comes due to following facts: First, VR 360º is normally based on rigs with many cameras, so they are difficult to process with traditional post-production pipelines based on one camera per shot. Secondly, The particular problems of the format itself: Geometry alignment, stitching, Stereo3D / depth grading, color matching between the cameras, stabilization in a 360 environment. Mistika VR is focused on solving all those points, and then deliver a traditional 2D image (or one per eye) in the most common formats used for post-production.
Mistika VR is based on the following ingredients:
Low-cost business model and pay per use. VR requires high-end technology, but short productions do not justify high-end investments in permanent infrastructure (at least until the market is mature). Mistika VR is available to download for Windows and macOS with flexible payment options on a subscription basis from just $60 a month.
High performance, even with small resources. Mistika technology is 100% based on GPU and has been being optimized for more than 20 years of Mistika Technology development. In the last year, SGO has been able to squeeze the most advanced high-end optical flow engine into small computers, even laptops, which is vital for the success in these environments.
High-end quality for the masses. Many VR camera solutions provide basic stitching capabilities for VR 360 formats. But past the novelty factor, VR 360 magic demands the ultimate image quality that is required to immerse us in a virtual world. The Mistika VR mission is to take the “frameless” format to the next level and making sure it is here to stay.
A complete solution encapsulating all the multi-camera tasks. The idea to start with Mistika VR and then use traditional resources would not be possible if one or more tasks requiring multiple camera manipulation are left out of the workflow. For this reason, Mistika VR covers not only the image stitching but also all other important tasks such as color matching, stabilization, Stereo3D adjustments, Keyframe Animation, etc.
Uniquely, Mistika VR functionality is perfectly integrated into the Mistika Ultima finishing solution used by studios and high-end facilities, thus covering the entire range of potential projects. This allows enhanced collaboration between small and big players and the flexibility to grow with new companies that are evolving to create various immersive experiences.
