iZotope announced at IBC 2010 the licensing of their 64-bit Sample Rate Conversion Engine (SRC) to Soundminer for integration into their new HD Plus Asset Management System and is also scheduled to be added to an upcoming release of their noted V4/V4pro product.
The partnership will provide Soundminer customers with world-class quality sample rate conversion and improved file transfer speeds with efficient operation for low demand on processing (CPU) power.
“By partnering with iZotope to enhance our batch processing, we were able to more than double our transfer speeds,” said Steve Pecile, President of Soundminer. “iZotope’s technology allowed us to achieve these results without compromising the level of quality our customers expect.”
Soundminer is an advanced search engine, a highly advanced conversion engine, an integrated metadata management tool, an advanced sound design tool, a DSP processing host, a scalable product line that includes server, enterprise and web portal options, and it is designed to work directly with the most popular production tools in the industry.
