Eyeheight Demos New Version Of BroadcastSafePP

Eyeheight will demonstrate the latest version of its BroadcastSafePP plug-in legaliser for Adobe Premiere Pro CC at IBC2015. Originally introduced in 2013, BroadcastSafePP has expanded to incorporate two additional elements: BroadcastEvaluate and BroadcastSafeArea.

Designed for use with Apple desktop and laptop computers running OS X (Snow Leopard and later versions) and Microsoft Windows (XP and upwards), BroadcastSafePP is a complete plug-in legaliser, safe-area generator and graphic measurement toolset. It enables users to verify and conform their content prior to submission to any file-based quality control system, all from within their Adobe Premiere Pro CC graphic interface.

BroadcastSafePP can perform composite, RGB, RGB-plus-Y and simultaneous composite-plus-RGB legalising, all with user-adjustable soft clipping at high and low thresholds. Precise chroma-space conversion and accurate limiting ensure compliance while keeping the full gamut available for creative use.

Users 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.

The integral Broadcast Evaluate display indicates which parts of a video image require adjustment in order to be fully broadcast compliant. Non-compliant areas of content are displayed in a user-definable colour with the option of manual or automatic correction, giving editors greater choice in the way they work. BroadcastEvaluate supports all common compliance standards. Users can alternatively define their own compliance standard as an XML file.

Also integral to BroadcastSafe is BroadcastSafeArea. This allows a range of graticules to be superimposed over the video monitor display. BroadcastSafeArea supports a multitude 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 as well as a measurement utility to ensure minimum text height conformance in commercials. Any marker colour can be assigned by the operator.

Compatible with high-end video source files used for broadcast content production, BroadcastSafePP supports any combination of file formats and source chroma-space available in Adobe Premiere Pro CC.

Adobe Premiere Pro CC can perform video editing at resolutions of up to 16K and up to 32 bits per channel colour in both RGB and YUV.
