CLASS-1

CLASS-1™ is the world’s first and only Video Server Series on Apple Mac, built with XCode using standard Mac OS X and native COCOA language for performance, stability, simple upgrade path to future OS X versions and unequalled Aqua interface presentation.

The new CLASS-1™ version 5 has been completely redesigned with even more robustness in mind and more exciting features without compromising performance and stability.

Our powerful renewed CLASS-1 interface, ListPlayer Pro, enables you to easily manage all complex multi-channel operations tasks, from a single window. Triggers, folders, events, secondary events, and more to come, such as transition. Users can organize their programs in folders, such as commercials. The new side view which shows the events triggers allows even better scheduling management.

CLASS-1, just like CLASS Series video servers, can play Final Cut Pro files directly without any lengthy conversion process of video format and transfers and simplifies greatly the broadcast process. CLASS-1 can also mix compression format. ProRes, MPEG-4, H.264, IMX, XDCam, DV25 through DVCPro HD and other format movie files can all be used in the same dynamic playlist to be seamlessly played out to air together.
