What it is

CLIPSTER 7 is digital mastering software for professional film and episodic television content and delivery. It creates and plays back DCP and IMF, supporting formats and codecs including 4K/8K, HDR, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Its timeline mixes color formats, compressed or uncompressed codecs, and HD, 2K, UHD and 4K resolutions. Files can be used natively without preprocessing, and material can be captured from SDI inputs. A non-linear timeline includes conforming tools for assembly. Delivery tools provide customizable output and finalization for proprietary specifications, wizards for DCP, IMP, AS02 and AS11, and SD or HD tape output from the timeline. Deployment can use commercial hardware, existing CLIPSTER 6 MK2 workstations, virtualized on-premise systems or the cloud. Licensing options are Burst, Annual and Perpetual, with pricing on request. Installation support and maintenance updates are listed as included.
