PixelStrings Media Conversion Platform Updates: Sidecar Caption Processing, New Ingestion Formats, and More

Cinnafilm is constantly improving ease of use and functionality to make PixelStrings your first choice for processing content. We have revised our built-in presets a bit, changing the names so they are clearer. Also, newly created workflows will default to Tachyon settings that address greater than 95% of all standards conversions needs without any modification.

New Features

  • Added sidecar caption processing in the UI (formerly API submission only)
  • Added ingest of MOV wrapped DNxHR and DNxHD

General Updates

  • Features delineated between PixelStrings subscription tiers
  • JPEG2000 outputs turned off due to excessively long encode times
  • Updated MainConcept Codec SDK to 13.1.1
  • Increased resilience when submitting Tachyon Wormhole jobs where the ending timecode of the file does not match the actual source
  • Increased resilience when submitting Wormhole jobs where an inserted slug was in-between the caption string and text would hang through the slug

Full technical bulletin details are available here.

We have many features coming for our NABShow 2022 release:

  • The return of IMF authoring
  • Dolby Digital Plus encoding
  • A new burn-in module
  • Further expansion of ingest and output codecs
