TOPAZ EMBEDDED TRANSCODING ENGINE

TOPAZ is equipped with Masstech’s in house developed Transcode Engine and a full library of format blades. Designed on the Direct Show platform for flexible blade configuration and speed, file transformation occurs automatically inline to virtually any file format. This enables you to easily convert and publish new files in a wide range of formats and wrappers including MXF, QuickTime, MPEG-PS and TS. Owning the technology means we can provide some of the best transforming and transcoding tools on the market. Advanced filtering and de-interlacing technology assures the highest quality output.
 
TOPAZ MEDIA FRAMEWORK

TOPAZ will transfer media from anywhere in the environment to the post production system ready for a particular job. In-line transforming, re-wrapping and transcodes of different file types are automatically performed so that content can move between FCP and Avid systems. All the essence media and metadata related to a particular project is saved in TOPAZ. When required, TOPAZ restores the hi-resolution source material to the NLE keeping all transfer complexity hidden from the operator. Once editing is complete TOPAZ manages the naming, saving and transfer of all the new finished sequences to be ready for presentation, playout and re-purposing.
