Prism Player digitally bends the spectrum

Created for media previewing and encoding, Avolites has created a software application called Prism Player. Designed to work as an auxiliary tool for the Avolites Ai video software platform, the application is the first release under the Prism product range. With the player’s clear user interface, Prism aims to expand the UK manufacturer’s user base by introducing the discipline to a widening group of video designers and operators. The set of complementary tools aims to help designers integrate video into their individual projects, while improving the user experience for current Ai users. Prism Player’s tool allows the previewing and encoding of media clips without having to connect to a server or Ai application. The Player supports the HAP codec for clips from other servers to be previewed and transcoded for use in Ai, which can be encoded in batches to save time

Video clips in most common video formats can be encoded into the AiM codec, ready to be loaded into the server. Avolites devised the AiM video codec for projects requiring up to 16 layers of 4K content without losing visual integrity. Content rendered in AiM can also be previewed without uploading to a server. The software also includes a playlist function to preview different pieces of content together for a show or project.

In brief, Avolites has released Titan v14 including features such as vitual faders, open workspace window overlay, mask FX, handle options and manual crossfade FX.
