Digital Rapids Uncover New Software Release

Digital Rapids has announced the release of version 3.7 of the Digital Rapids Stream software for the StreamZ, StreamZHD and Flux encoding and live streaming solutions.
New features in Stream 3.7 include expanded format support as well as encoding to the Panasonic AVC-Intra format; 64-bit operating system support; cue point insertion for live streaming with Adobe Flash technologies; and enhanced H.264 and MPEG-2 encoding.
These new capabilities join numerous additions in the previously-unannounced version 3.6 upgrade released in August, including Dolby Digital AC-3 audio pass-through and updates to Civolution NexGuard forensic watermarking support.
Stream 3.7 will provide optional support for encoding to Panasonic’s AVC-Intra format, providing a gateway into the growing number of post production, broadcast and archive solutions and workflows natively supporting AVC-Intra compressed media.
Version 3.7 also expands the Stream software’s support for the Sony XDCAM system with import and export of XDCAM HD media in QuickTime MOV containers.
In addition Digital Rapids’ highly-acclaimed H.264 and MPEG-2 encoding quality and performance are also further improved. Version 3.7 adds 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating system support for Digital Rapids’ Flux capture and pre-processing hardware. For live streaming to Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR applications, Stream 3.7 enables the insertion of cue points into live RTMP streams (on-the-fly via Web Services API or from files) to trigger downstream events such as advertising insertion or replacement.
