InSync Technology are specialists in all forms of video conversion including motion compensated frame rate conversion. InSync provide solutions that enable content owners to ensure assets are in the format and frame rate required by their target audience. Good standards conversion is essential to preserve the quality (and therefore the value) of the material.
At the 2020 NAB Show (Booth SL7422), InSync will showcase a range of software video conversion products to support live and file-based workflows. Each of these can be deployed on premise or in the cloud and integrated into other business or management systems via open APIs.
InSync introduces live conversion of UHD/4K streams using its FrameFormer Link software engine. FrameFormer Link can be easily integrated into any live production platform to bring the highest quality motion compensated frame rate conversion.
InSync also introduces FrameFormer Live, which utilizes InSync's live conversion capability but within a turnkey application. The fully featured FrameFormer Live provides full stream, audio, and image processing as well as support for the emerging SRT video transport protocol.
Finally, and to support file-based workflows, the company will feature the FLICS | SOLO FF powered by InSync FrameFormer. This content preparation application, developed by InSync's partner HiScale GmbH, offers automated transcoding and frame rate conversion. It includes support for all popular file formats as well as ABR encoding for VOD applications.
InSync Introduces Frame Rate Conversion of Live UHD/4K Content
At the 2020 NAB Show, InSync will premiere motion compensated frame rate conversion of live UHD/4K streams via its FrameFormer Link software engine. This is a real game changer for broadcasters and content distributors — being the first time that top-end live frame rate conversion has been available in a pure software form for premium UHD/4K formats.
The beauty of this approach is that the core software can be integrated into any live production platform or workflow through an open API. This can be an in-house platform, or the capability can be made available to end users via a service provider. As the software requires CPU-only processing with cross-platform support, the solution is ideal to support cloud-based workflows - where flexibility, speed to deploy and scalability are key. A prime example today is live event production in the cloud with frame rate conversion supporting distribution to a global audience.
At the 2020 NAB Show launch, InSync will offer an up-close look at the superb quality and smooth results available from FrameFormer conversion, as well as its ability to handle a wide range of formats and frame rates — including content produced with High Dynamic Range.
