Eyeheight Announces BroadcastSafe Compliance For IBC2014

Eyeheight has announced an expansion to its BroadcastSafe compliance plug-ins for Avid's Media Composer and Adobe's Premiere Pro post-production software.

Version 1.5 BroadcastSafeMC (for Media Composer) and BroadcastSafePP (for Premiere Pro) incorporate a new 'Broadcast Evaluate' display that tells which parts of a video image require adjustment for broadcast compliance.
Non-compliant areas of content are displayed in a user-definable colour with the option of manual or automatic correction. BroadcastEvaluate supports all common compliance standards. Users can alternatively define their own compliance standard as an XML file.
Also new is BroadcastSafeArea, which allows a range of safe-area markers to be superimposed over the video monitor display. BroadcastSafeArea supports a rang of standards including SMPTE, EBU and DPP, in 525/625 standard definition, 720/1080 high definition and 2K line formats. Also included is a centre marker plus a measurement utility to ensure minimum text height conformance in commercials. Any marker colour can be assigned by the operator.
Eyeheight's BroadcastSafe is a complete plug-in legalizer, safe-area generator and graphic measurement toolset. It allows users to verify and conform content prior to submission to any file-based quality control system. BroadcastSafe can perform composite, RGB, RGB-plus-Y and simultaneous composite-plus-RGB legalising, with user-adjustable soft clipping at high and low thresholds.
Precise chroma-space conversion and accurate limiting aim to secure compliance while keeping the full gamut available for creative use. Editors can select from a range of presets or work in custom mode, which gives full access to 15 configurable parameters. Facility administrators can assign which built-in presets are available to users, create new presets or disable the custom option to ensure that only approved configurations are implemented.
BroadcastSafe Version 1.5 will be introduced at IBC2014, Amsterdam, September 12-16. Exhibiting on stand 8.B97, Eyeheight will be represented by Martin Moore, Steve Crocker and Linda Underwood.
