About Softron 3IB23

Explore the innovative capabilities of Softron's MovieRecorder 2, a user-friendly, high-quality, and advanced Mac-based acquisition software designed for television stations and post-production facilities. This reliable software digitizes video into self-contained QuickTime reference clips, making it compatible with both Softron programs and third-party applications such as Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Server.

With the ability to support up to 8 simultaneous streams, MovieRecorder 2 offers flexibility in video capturing. However, please note that each stream requires a separate license. Upon downloading the software, you can choose from Single, Dual, Quad, or Octo versions, depending on your stream requirements. Eight licenses will enable you to ingest eight SD or 4 HD streams, catering to your high-definition video needs.

Keep in mind that multiple streams will necessitate multiple capture cards, compatible with most PCI, Thunderbolt, and ExpressCard cards. These can be utilized on the same or different workstations, providing you with the convenience of choice.

MovieRecorder 2 offers the ability to schedule ingests, allowing them to automatically occur over time or be manually triggered. It also provides the option to store clips to multiple locations simultaneously, ensuring your data is always secure and accessible.

Control your software remotely with the included MovieRecorder Control app, a Mac-based application, or via MovieRecorder Remote, designed for iPhones and iPads. This feature allows you to manage your licenses from anywhere, at any time.

Experience the benefits of dynamic memory buffering with MovieRecorder 2. This feature is less memory-intensive when compressing incoming video streams, overcoming AFP server file size limitations present in the original MovieRecorder.

For those seeking additional features, the MovieRecorder 2 Pro option allows the capture of proxy clips and metadata, customization of metadata keys, and batch capture from tape decks. This advanced software is your comprehensive solution for all your video recording and editing needs.
