The XRE Transcoder 9 from Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, is a standalone conversion solution that enables broadcasters and media companies to automate the transcoding of media files, using watch folders that can be placed anywhere on a network. Transcoding is fully optimized to the host machine’s specifications and is faster than real-time in many cases. Supplied as software or a full turnkey system and connected via Ethernet, XRE Transcoder 9 gives editors in a workgroup the freedom to spend their time editing, not transcoding, and supports the extensive list of formats and codecs that has made EDIUS such a force in broadcast news production.
New in version 9 of the XRE Transcoder is an “Effect Template” feature that allows customized effects such as layered graphics, image side bar blur, speed change, HDR metadata inclusion and more, to the clip as it is being transcoded. XRE Transcoder 9 can be used with any third-party professional NLE system. A simple interface allows off-loading of transcoding jobs from the NLE system to the XRE Transcoder, and an SDK is available to facilitate integration into third-party systems and workflows. Transcoding job status can be monitored from any machine on the network. Multiple servers can be configured as nodes to share jobs.

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 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.

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.
Alex4D 360° Effects for Final Cut Pro X
Alex4D 360° Effects includes three free plugins that can instantly save time in spherical video production.
The pack is divided into six categories: Repeat – to repeat footage and overlays around the sphere, Highlight – to attract attention to specific parts of the environment, Blur – blur parts of your footage and overlays, Stylize – to change the look of whole spheres at a time, Masks – to help overlay areas of 360° content inside other spheres and Flat – to make more of 360° footage used in flat non-spherical videos.
Final Cut Pro X is the best NLE for making 360° videos. Alex4D 360° Effects can be used to make videos destined for Facebook, YouTube and Twitter whose applications and websites can now display 360° videos automatically.
Alex4D Animation Transitions for Final Cut Pro X
Add instant character to logos, text, graphic elements and even video clips by springing, bouncing, sliding and skidding them onto and off the screen.
Easy to apply, easy to make changes without having to work with keyframes.
As well as working in 16:9 for HD and 4K video, Alex4D Animation Transitions work in any aspect ratio from super-wide (48:9) to super tall (9:48). This is specially useful when making videos for social media services that require square and vertical video such as Instagram, Twitter, Apple News and IG TV.
Alex4D custom plugins for Final Cut Pro X
These include titles, generators, effects and transitions that work in any aspect ratio. Start in one: 16:9, 1:1 or 9:16 for example, copy your timeline to any other aspect ratio and the plugins will reconfigure themselves with new layouts - including options for TV-safe areas for 16:9 and ‘social safe’ areas for 1:1 and 9:16 timelines.
Recent plugins Alex has developed have been used to make videos shown on broadcaster websites alongside broadcaster accounts on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Apple News, Instagram and IG TV.
