CLIPSTER 7
Burbank, California, USA
What it is
CLIPSTER 7 is digital mastering software for professional film and episodic television content and delivery. It creates and plays back DCP and IMF and supports formats and codecs including 4K/8K, HDR, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos. Its timeline can combine color formats, compressed or uncompressed codecs, and HD, 2K, UHD, and 4K resolutions. Files are supported natively without preprocessing, and material can be captured from SDI inputs. A non-linear timeline includes a conforming tool for assembly. Delivery tools include customizable file-output and finalize settings, wizards for DCP, IMP, AS02, and AS11, and an I/O tool for SD and HD tape deliverables. Deployment can use commercial off-the-shelf hardware, existing CLIPSTER 6 MK2 workstations, virtualized on-premise systems, or the cloud. It is self-hosted software with Burst, Annual, and Perpetual licensing options; pricing is on request. Installation support and maintenance updates are listed as included, with support requiring a licensed product and current maintenance payments.
