MediaReactor For Assimilate
MediaReactor Workstation Plug-in for Assimilate is a plug-in which adds wide file format read functionality and wide, industry standard write formats to your Assimilate products. This plug-in allows you to read many file types directly within Assimilate Scratch and Lab with no out-of-application transcoding step, saving time and streamlining your work flow. This plug-in specific version is available for only $495.00 US. The same support is included in the full MediaReactor Workstation plug ins for Adobe, Apple, Avid and Microsoft version for $895.00 US.
Drastic Technologies already provides many of the commonly used file formats within the Assimilate Scratch and Lab products, as the Basic Codec Support package (CSP). This range of formats is widely accepted, industry proven and work flow tested to provide a robust solution to the most common applications encountered. In the real world of production however, common formats are just the beginning, and having the flexibility to use MediaReactor's full range of supported formats lets you get the job done, in the required format, with the least amount of down time.
