Enables format conversion of media files in software

Why Quasar File? / Features

• World’s best intelligent adaptive de-interlacing technology delivering maximized vertical resolution for all types of content
• Optimized to deliver consistent quality for all interlaced and progressive content

Typical applications:

• International broadcaster converting SD and HD interlaced files for progressive transmission
• Playout service provider down converting HD assets to SD assets for global transmission
• Post production house up converting HD material to 4K for cinema screening

Trial software can be run on a single AMD R9 270 GPU and will typically offer a 1080i > 720p conversion duration of two times program length for under $200.

GV File V3.0 - What's new?

• HDR to HDR processing to and from PQ / S-Log3 / HLG 
• HDR (PQ / S-Log3 / HLG) down conversion to SDR (BT709 / REC601) using Grass Valley's Advanced Tone Mapping
• SDR (BT709 / REC601) up conversion to HDR (PQ / S-Log3 / HLG)
• Decoding of AAC audio is now supported for all relevant source file types.
• Processing times have been reduced by up to 40%; the exact performance improvement will be system and conversion specific (positive improvements have been measured in most cases).
• Timecode overlay

GV File V4.0 - What's new?

• Enhanced audio routing – now fully flexible!
• Prores decoding and encoding now enabled on all 64-bit operating systems
• Added decoding of 32KHz, 44.1KHz and 96KHz audio
• Added support for up 32 audio channels per stream (where appropriate)
• Added non-adaptive HDR to SDR down mapping mode
• Added custom transfer curves to tailor up/down/cross mapping
• BT2020 and HDR metadata now included during encode (where appropriate)
• Added decode and encode support for DNxHR wrapped in MXF OP1A
• Added DNxHR 4:4:4 decode and encode
• Audio channels can now be grouped for off-speed conversion to maintain respective phase
• Added Full Screen Stretch conversion mode and overscan controls
• Added 'Follow Input' (source resolution) mode, when generating Apple ProRes files
• Added support for Nvidia RTX GPU family.

For full details  of all improvements, upgrades and added functionality see the V4.0.1.2 release notes, available here

Delivers faultless media retiming in software

Why Kronos File? / Features

• Enables unparalled run time adjustments of file-based assets with no perceived quality difference
• Program duration changes of up to +/- 20%
• Based on Alchemist File technology, Kronos File offers the very best in motion compenstaed image performance and audio pitch correction
• Now with Adaptive Cadence Technology, enabling a single pass retime of media containing cadence
• Now with Protected Segmnent Processing to preserve duration in key areas, such as credits, commercials or clock
• Guarantees consistent quality with no user intervention – optimal results first time, every time

Typical applications:

• Global broadcaster has a need reduce the duration of a program in order to fit more adverts into their playout schedule 
• Media provider needs to create space to promote other valued content
• A faciltiy needs to change the run time of a file to fit a specif slot in the playout schedule

GV File V3.0 - What's new?

• Kronos File Supports protected segments which can be defined in the xFile Client or based on an externally created marker file
• Kronos File also now benefits from Adaptive Cadence Technology, enabling a single pass retime of media containing cadence
• HDR to HDR processing to and from PQ / S-Log3 / HLG
• HDR (PQ / S-Log3 / HLG ) down conversion to SDR (BT709 / REC601) using Grass Valley's Advanced Tone Mapping
• SDR (BT709 / REC601) up conversion to HDR (PQ / S-Log3 / HLG )
• Decoding of AAC audio is now supported for all relevant source file types.
• Processing times have been reduced by up to 40%; the exact performance improvement will be system and conversion specific (positive improvements have been measured in most cases).
