MediaReactor Workstation (MRWS) integrates directly into Final Cut Pro (FCP) using its low level QuickTime components. The reader and decompressor components allow FCP to directly access a huge variety of file formats without translation or a log and transfer step. CINE, DPX, FHG, GEN, GFX, HDR, MPEG-2, MTS, MXF, OMF, V210, VPB, YUV and many other industry standard formats can be added as if they were native MOV files. Even widely different variants of MXF are all supported: Avid, DCI, EditCAM, Harmonic, OP1a/Omneon, Panasonic-P2, Pinnacle, Quantel, Snell&Wilcox, and Sony MXF files can share the same bin and sequence seamlessly. Time code, multi-channel audio and metadata are all directly supported along with high quality video decoded in its native color format at up to 16 bits per component. Within each of the file formats, all industry standard codecs are supported including AVCi, DNxHD, DVHD/50/25, HDCam-SR, JPEG, JPEG-2000, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, h.264/AVC, XDCam, Bayer pattern, ProRes, YCbCr 8/10/16, and RGB 8/10/16. Native QuickTime codecs within the system are also supported.
MediaReactor Workstation also works on the output side of FCP. The codecs MRWS adds can be used to generate MOV files. In the case where the source file is the same codec as the output MOV (e.g. Omneon AVCi MXF sources and an AVCi MOV target) there is no re-rendering of the material. It is simply copied from source to target, where there are no effects or other video manipulation, without decompression or compression making the process lossless. MRWS also provides direct export to a group of file formats via the 'Export using QuickTime conversion' menu in FCP. MRWS can output AVI, Cineon, DPX, GEN, HDR, JP2, JS, M2T, MXF (OP1a, Omneon, Avid, DCP, P2, Sony XDCam), OMF, V210, VPB and YUV file formats in a variety of codecs.
Like the Final Cut Pro editor, Motion and compressor also support MRWS for input of supported files, and export of QuickTime files with the expanded codec set.
