ADOBE’S NEWLY unveiled Creative Suite 6 Production
Premium got lots of attention during NAB at the Adobe exhibition and at more than 60 partner stands. The bundle
includes new versions of Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Story Plus, Media Encoder, Encore, and
Photoshop; as well as SpeedGrade colour grading system; and Prelude for ingest, logging and transcoding. CS6 is also a cornerstone of Adobe Creative Cloud. “The idea is to create workflows,” said Adobe’s Bill Roberts. “People will be able to jump in and use cloud storage.” Photoshop is currently in beta. Speed Grade was previously offered by Iridas, which was acquired by Adobe just prior to IBC 2011. Manufacturers announcing support for CS6 during NAB, included AJA, which plans to support CS6 Creative Suite with AJA’s Io Express, Io XT and KONA for both Mac and Windows customers. EditShare reported that project sharing for CS6 is possible using EditShare networked storage. Octopus Newsroom previewed
its newsroom system integration with Premiere Pro CS6 software. As with Premiere Pro CS5.5, this creates a workflow via the Octopus NLE plug-in, running on MacOS X or Windows. Matrox supports CS6 with
the Matrox MX02 I/O devices and Matrox Mojito MAXI/O cards; and Vizrt launched its Viz Media Engine with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 integration. www.adobe.com
DTS: A transcode to surround sound
DTS HASagreed to integrate its Neural Surround technology into Ateme’s Titan range of video transcoders, enabling surround sound in the latest generation of IPTV, OTT and VOD services, writes Melanie Dayasena-Lowe. “As television viewing habits evolve, we continue to respond to market trends and direct customer demand to deliver an immersive, high-quality audio experience,” noted Rémi Beaudouin, director of Product Marketing, Ateme. “By incorporating DTS technologies into our TITAN transcoders, we dramatically simplify broadcasters workflows; combining DTS high definition audio with our unrivalled video quality is now a one click process.”
DTS Neural Surround enables a conversion between stereo and surround sound audio through a capture, edit, management and delivery process, enabling broadcast production teams to preserve the integrity of the surround mix while transmitting in a stereo format at the highest possible resolution. www.dts.com
