Direct integration with Compressor extends encoding capabilities for Final Cut Pro users

Telestream, the leading global provider of encoding-based media workflow solutions, today announced direct integration of its Episode(tm) Series media encoding applications with Compresser 3, Apple's industrial strength encoding tool included with Final Cut Studio 2. The integration expands encoding capabilities for Final Cut Studio users to an extensive array of video and audio formats and encoding settings including Flash 8, Windows Media and VC-1, as well as broadcast specific formats like GXF, IMX, MPEG-2 4:2:2 and high profile H.264.

"The opportunity to integrate Episode Series directly with Compressor underscores the strength of our Episode encoding applications," said Telestream CEO, Dan Castles. "Episode adds direct access to virtually every video file format available and enables Final Cut Pro users to export media files directly from the Timeline."

"We are pleased Telestream is able to integrate Episode Pro directly into the new plug-in API of Compressor 3," said Rob Schoeben, Apple's vice president of Applications Product Marketing. "Final Cut Studio 2 can now easily support the needs of virtually every production and delivery requirement."

Episode provides an extensive range of SD and HD file format support. Optimized codecs, plus hundreds of filters and fine-tuning compression capabilities, enable users to generate excellent picture quality with ultra-fast conversion speeds.
