At NAB 2011, AmberFin announced that its multiple award-winning iCR product family now adds native support for the Apple ProRes codec. This gives AmberFin iCR users a new high-quality, 10-bit HD codec option for Automated Ingest and Quality Control for Final Cut Pro workflows and for exporting to iTunes.
AmberFin CTO Bruce Devlin said, “The iCR platform now gives customers a new level of efficiency for their workflows that require ProRes, when they create multiple high quality versions of content from a single tape or a stream source.”
ProRes will be an option available as part of the forthcoming iCR V7.00 release programme.
