SpectSoft Announces RaveHD 3.0

(Oakdale, California -- January, 2008) 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 its move to 3.0", states Ramona Howard, President of SpectSoft. " The RaveHD 2.5 series brought the rest of the added infrastructure that makes RaveHD the choice of many studios to use as a true deck replacement. The release of RaveHD 3.0 is focused on features and our customer base are eager to begin putting it to work so we will begin shipping this month".

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 continually finding new uses. "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 and keeping us very busy. Taking a complex product and keeping it so simple while maintaining flexibility is not an easy thing to do.....and it is high on the priority list when adding anything to RaveHD", adds Howard. "Customer input has been crucial in this success".

Recent additions to RaveHD include a variety of settings for offsets and delay controls, additional burn-in support, extended 2K support, Split Screen, additional EDL and conforming tools, RGB12bit, format conversion tools, additional audio support, extended LUT and routing support, improved print to tape functionality, system tests and monitoring and additional metadata embedding to name a few. RaveHD 3.0 features include, SAN support, Scaling and a Render Engine to name a few. There is a list of 12 major features being added to the RaveHD 3.0 series, with many of them not being officially publicized until they roll into a releasing version.

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
