The Drastic ScopeDirect Plugin

plugins111The Drastic ScopeDirect Plugin is designed to be installed in a system with Adobe, Avid, OpenFX, Resolve, or UnReal Engine software. It will look at the video, audio, and ancillary data playing in the editor, and provide a range of waveform/vectorscope tools for setup, measurement, and calibration of levels.

The Drastic ScopeDirect plugin allows editors to view their creative software through Drastic's software signal analysis tools, without requiring a separate system. It installs a plugin to view the video, audio, and closed captions and other ancillary data, and lets you analyze the signal with professional, industry leading, software based waveform/vectorscopes.

The DrasticScope plugin is available in 4KScope, HDRScope, and 2110Scope.

For most windows apps, we install the Drastic ScopeDirect Plugin codec during the install. With macOS, we are not doing an install, so we don't put the plugins in automatically. Also, with the new Unreal plugin, it is up to the developer/creative to put the plugin in their choice of directory.
