Media 100 release 844/x Version 3

Media 100 has announced the release of Version 3.0 software for 844/X.
The largest software expansion of 844/X since its inception in 2002, Version 3.0 advances 844/X with many new real-time, multi-stream capabilities, including advanced keying, 3D digital video effects (DVEs) and new performance optimisations for editing longer-form, layer-intensive projects.
Media 100 recruited over 30 844/X beta sites - the largest number to date - to test Version 3.0 and ensure both high performance and reliability.
"For the past year we have interacted daily with 844/X users around the world," said Rick Keilty, vice president of product marketing at Media 100. "Version 3.0 is a direct result of their inspiration and input. This release takes advantage of the real-time in-stream effects and compositing speed as well as the 10-bit image quality intrinsic to the GenesisEngine and our 844/X software architecture. The new keyer, for example, rivals any high-end keyer. Our multi-stream 3D DVEs add to the long list of effects we can handle, concurrently, in real time, for incredible creative flexibility when compositing layers."
First customer shipments of the release are expected to begin this month.
