Rimage Partners with Digital Rapids

Rimage Corporation and Digital Rapids have partnered to integrate
their acclaimed solutions into an automated workflow for DVD encoding
and production.

The partnership will help strengthen Rimage product recognition
among video and media solution providers and continues the company’s
strategic penetration of the digital media post production market.

"This new integration bridges a workflow gap between top-quality
encoding for DVD and multi-unit disc publishing, streamlining the
process and enabling another level of automation," said Brick Eksten,
president of Digital Rapids Corporation.

Within an automated encoding workflow enabled by Digital Rapids’
StreamZ and StreamZHD( media encoding systems or the Digital
Rapids Transcode Manager enterprise-level transcoding software,
DVDs can be produced from a single media file without menus, or from
multiple deck-captured media files with an automatically generated
menu and chapter marks.

Upon completion of encoding, the resulting media is automatically
sent to an attached Rimage Producer III or Rimage Professional Series
digital publishing system with automated disc artwork printing. The
combined solution is ideal for DVD publishing applications, ranging
from approval and prescreening copies of production content to
limited-run distribution and archive.

Both the Rimage Producer III and Professional Series systems
support the new workflow integration with Digital Rapids .The Rimage
Producer III disc publishing system is the industry’s
highest-performing, most reliable solution for automatically creating
professional DVDs with customized digital content and direct-to-disc
labels. The Rimage Professional Series disc publishing systems help a
wide range of media production and post production facilities
streamline their content distribution workflows with all-in-one
solutions for archiving, duplicating and distributing physical digital
content.

Digital Rapids’ StreamZ and StreamZHD media encoding solutions
combine powerful hardware for video and audio capture and
pre-processing with the comprehensive Stream software interface,
delivering high-quality, multi-format media encoding for demanding
professional applications. Digital Rapids Transcode Manager provides
automated, distributed transcoding with centralized management and
exceptional load balancing intelligence for high-volume, multi-format
transcoding workflows.

The new integration support will be available in a new version of
Digital Rapids’ StreamPro and StreamEnterprise software.
