Aachen, Germany - December 04, 2006 - MainConcept, a leading provider of codecs and video technology, announced today that it has released a DVCPRO add-on to its existing MPEG Pro HD plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro. The add-on enhances MainConcept’s MPEG Pro™ HD software by adding the ability to import, edit and export DV, DVCPRO 25, DVCPRO 50 and DVCPRO HD video from within Adobe Premiere Pro. The add-on also adds support for the Panasonic’s P2 camcorder format, including multichannel audio. |

“Adobe Premiere Pro is one of the most popular editing packages in the market today”, said Markus Moenig, founder and CEO of MainConcept, “but with the popularity of DVCPRO HD and the Panasonic P2 camcorder, customers have not had the ability to import, natively edit and export in the DVCPRO format using Premiere Pro. We are proud to release this new technology to give video editors the flexibility to work with the DVCPRO format and the Panasonic P2 camcorder directly from within their favorite editing application.”
The DVCPRO add-on supports importing and exporting in the AVI, DIF and MXF (SMPTE 383M - clip wrapped) file formats. The software also includes a special importer for XML files that describes the relation between video and audio MXF files (one file per channel). This function enables users to quickly import corresponding audio and video files. Using the MXF export feature, users can generate a P2 style folder structure (virtual P2 device) that includes MXF video/audio, XML files and thumbnail bitmaps. It is even possible to add clips to an existing P2 style folder.
The DVCPRO add-on is available in two versions. The SD version supports DV (IEC- 61834), DVCPRO 25 and DVCPRO 50 (SMPTE 314M) and can be purchased for $379.99. The HD version adds support for DVCPRO HD (SMPTE 370M) and is available for $519.99. Both add-ons are available for online purchase and instant download from the MainConcept website, www.mainconcept.com.
