MediaReactor For Assimilate
Open Files in SCRATCH and SCRATCH Lab
Drastic Technologies already provides many of the commonly used file formats within Assimilate SCRATCH and SCRATCH Lab products, as the Basic Codec Support package (CSP). This range of formats is widely accepted, industry proven and workflow 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.
