Edifis announces Assembler option for Sting recorder

Edifis ahve released Assembler - an auto-conforming and assemble-editing option for the Sting uncompressed dual-channel disk recorder.
Cost-efficient and quick, Assembler allows edit-decision list-based programme assembly to be achieved from any initial sequence order in much shorter than real-time.
An EDL preview capability enables partial or full lists to be conformed. A graphical display, running on a standard PC, shows which events cannot be conformed, possibly due to not yet having been recorded. Existing material can be conformed and any missing items quickly inserted into the conform when they become available.
Assembler cuts costs by reducing the dependence upon VTRs. Among its many other tools are automated acquisition of material, real-time editing and versioning, de-spotting and Vari-speed capability for extreme motion effects.
Being a true random access disk system, Assembler can re-order a loaded EDL of up to 1,000 events within seconds, including handles, and be ready to deploy as a dual recorder/player in the edit session.
Discontinuous timecode is supported within Assembler and, coupled with automatic timecode detection, permits batch acquisition of material for subsequent conforming.
Non-monotonic codes and even duplicate codes can be handled simply and quickly, and material such as over-length cut negative can be modified to quickly produce tight and open conforms.
Existing Edifis Sting disk-server systems can be upgraded to Assembler, allowing EDL files to be used directly to conform video material quickly and efficiently.
