DigiTranslator 2.0 is an interchange application from Digidesign, delivering reliable, accurate conversion of OMF files to and from Pro Tools. With DigiTranslator 2.0, the complex process of file interchange is made simple and dependable, allowing post production professionals to spend more time on creative decisions and less time on file management.
Post production is a collaborative process. To facilitate the seamless exchange of sound and picture elements, Avid developed OMFI (Open Media Framework Interchange). Dozens of manufacturers now support OMFI, and hundreds of Pro Tools customers rely on OMFI every day for file interchange with other workstations, such as Avid's Media Composer.
Now DigiTranslator 2.0 takes OMF Interchange to the next level by offering rock solid reliability and more control over the conversion process than ever before, all within the Pro Tools 5.1.3 software environment. Developed in collaboration with working post-production audio engineers, DigiTranslator 2.0 is packed with sophisticated conversion options. It allows translation of clip-based volume data, a choice between rendered audio effects or untreated sources, and options for media copying and consolidation. The online tool tips provide constant feedback at every step of the conversion process.
With DigiTranslator 2.0 fully integrated into Pro Tools 5.1.3 software, a previously unattainable degree of efficiency is now available to post professionals. Without launching a separate application, you can take advantage of DigiTranslator 2.0's many features directly, including the import and export of OMF media files and sequences. And, with DigiTranslator's thorough reporting of any translation errors, you'll always know what to tell the picture editor if a problem arises. (DigiTranslator 1.0 -- available and included only with the purchase of DigiTranslator 2.0 -offers a subset of 2.0 features, and doesn't require any Digidesign hardware to run; it can be installed on any Pro Tools system, any Avid system, or on a dedicated off-line conversion station in your machine room.)
DigiTranslator 2.0 makes a powerful partner for AVoption and AVoption|XL. This tandem turns Pro Tools into the industry's top workstation for interchanging audio and video with Avid systems.
DigiTranslator 2.0 is available via upgrade or purchase (and includes Pro Tools 5.1.3 software); registered owners of DigiTranslator 1.0 can upgrade.
