Digimetrics Launches Eos Test & Correct for FCP at NAB
Previous: Digimetrics Launches Hydra Player at NAB | All | Next: Fast Switching Technology
Eos is Broadcast Standard Monitoring & Correction. Add Trust To Your Editing.
Trust means that the files out of editing meet Broadcast Standards for:
- Safe Title/Action Area
- Color Gamut Levels
- Audio Loudness Levels
Eos is a series of plug-ins for Final Cut Pro, providing measurement and AutoFix correction for video and audio levels, in addition to safe title/action overlays for most internationally recognized broadcast formats.
Eos Broadcast Video Plugin for Final Cut Pro
In regards to Color Gamut, Eos offers the ability to set limits for measurement and correction (and, by default, correct gamut using AutoFix) relative to EBU R103 in several methods:
- Percentage of legal limits
- Millivolts (mV)
- IRE (absolute value adjusted to 0-255)
You can choose to measure gamut against ITU color standards BT.601 or BT.709, or define your own custom color space using the Y', Cb' and Cr' coefficients for the RGB components.
Measurement and correction results are provided in an XML-based report, showing which frames are out of gamut, and if AutoFix is enabled, which color components were adjusted.
Safe Title/Action Area overlays are provided in the preview window for:
•NTSC 4:3 and 16:9 (525 line raster)
•PAL 4:3 and 16:9 (625 line raster) where applicable, overlays for 14:9 also provided
•720p
•1080p
•2k/Digital Cinema
using the following standards for measurement:
•SMPTE ST-2046-1
•SMPTE RP-218
•ARIB TR-B4
•ITU-R BT.1700
•ITU-R BT.1379-2
•EBU R92
•EBU R95
Eos Broadcast Audio Plugin for Final Cut Pro
Offering the ability to measure Audio Loudness relative to multiple standards, including:
•ATSC A/85
•UK BCAP 6.9
•EBU R128
•User-defined variation of ITU BS.1770 fast or integrated mode
AutoFix loudness is offered in both directions, scaling the waveform up to the threshold when the audio is too soft and scaling the waveform below the threshold when the audio is too loud.

The testing components of Eos are the same as used in Digimetrics' leading file-based QC suite, Aurora. So the same measurements used for testing your ingest, transcoding and playout storage can now be used directly in your editing process.
