(Oakdale, California -- December, 2007) SpectSoft LLC., a leading provider of uncompressed video solutions announced that the release of RaveHD 3.0 will happen prior to NAB.

"With the completion of the RaveHD 2.5 series this past month, RaveHD will now make it's move to 3.0", states Ramona Howard, President of SpectSoft. "We have shared with our customer base what this has to offer and how much is already completed and they are eager to begin putting it to work".

The RaveHD 2.5 series brought the added infrastructure that makes RaveHD the choice of many studios to use as a true deck replacement in many aspects of the workflow. Priced well below many of the competing products and offering up far more flexibility RaveHD has seen tremendous growth and support from the industry over the years and continues to be put to work at new locations daily as well as older locations finding new uses.

Recent additions to RaveHD include a variety of settings for offsets and delay controls, additional burn-in support, extended 2K support, Split Screen, RGB16bit, conversion of formats, additional audio support, extended LUT and routing support and additional metadata embedding to name a few. "The RaveHD 2.5 series was mostly about adding to the infrastructure of what is needed to work in this complex field. we just happen to have added few cool features along the way", comments Howard. " Additional EDL and conforming support along with the metadata tools are only a few".

The RaveHD is about workflow, about being a product that can easily be dropped iinto any studio infrastructure and immediately bridge the gap between film, video and data. Essentially RaveHD is a file server that thinks it's a deck and has the ability to work in both master or slave mode, yet it can also be seen as a big drive that can be mounted across the network. Utilizing standard DPX frames that can be created from any number of sources (be it Mac or PC), standard file systems and standard network protocols, RaveHD has proven it works and plays well with others, and has no proprietary nightmares in the process. Tack on the ability to dig thru the source code for integration, studios are seeing the huge benefit in this quiet little product and for the first time the ability to take control of their own workflows.

"RaveHD isn't an easy one to explain as it can't be put into a neat little shrink wrapped package, it's many things to many studios with each of them using it slightly different", comments Jason Howard, Lead Programmer for the project. "This product is a living thing, constantly growing to the needs of the industry, keeping us very busy". Taking a complex product and keeping it so simple while maintaining flexibility is not an easy thing to do.....it is high on the priority list when adding anything to RaveHD", adds Howard. "Customer input has been crucial in this success".

RaveHD, made its debut in 2001 at Tippett Studios and then has since been adopted by many high-end VFX and Post facilities worldwide and with many adding additional RaveHD systems to the pipelines over the years. Information on the Spectsoft products can be found at www.spectsoft.com
