Archimedia debuts Iris Media Intelligence at NAB including 4K and cloud support

Launching at NAB - new file-based workflow tools
Media processing and workflow outfit Archimedia Technology is launching a range of products for file-based workflow at NAB. The tools includes those for quality control, review, and validation of media, timed text, or metadata file. The new Iris Media Intelligence products work with Archimedia’s new Iris Cloud Service for easier workgroup collaboration.
For investigation and validation, Archimedia Iris includes a professional media player with a captions viewer, test and measurement tools, format template matching, audio region-of-interest zoom, and more.
For collaboration, Iris features on-screen annotation and markup, shared notes, approvals and measurements, live chat, and project history for workgroups of any size. Iris' timeline-based platform will be the framework for more Archimedia file-based workflow products in the future.
Archimedia says that Iris supports hundreds of video, audio, caption, and subtitle formats up to 4K 60p and is always frame-accurate.
Specifically the Iris Media Intelligence products include:
- Iris Cloud Service — Allows Iris users worldwide to create groups instantly in order to interactively share notes, annotate, chat, and obtain approvals, all with frame-accurate documentation, measurements, and metadata. Can also be deployed behind firewalls for private clouds. Media files are always under the owner's secure control.
