In nuce: Blackmagic raw files (.braw) can now be transcoded natively via the cloud with Alteon.io. This was recently announced by the developer Alteon.io. The new feature should save creative professionals many hours of work. The manufacturer is advertising further time savings if users utilise the free Alteon Accelerate application. Alteon.io is described on the manufacturer’s website as an all-in-one hub solution for creative professionals, but also as a content management system. Alteon.io works with cloud storage, Web3 integration – and places a high value on security. In addition to .braw, Alteon.io also supports .mxf, .avi, .mov and .mp4. Support for the .r3d and .ari file formats is planned for the future. Once files have been uploaded to Alteon.io, users can access either transcoded proxies or the original files.
Further information: The company Blackmagic Design, which offers 12K cameras at an attractive price-performance ratio, has become an important hardware provider in the broadcasting sector in recent years. Alteon announces that it wants to follow Blackmagic Design’s example of offering equipment for content producers at affordable prices. Matt Cimaglia, co-founder of Alteon, notes overlaps between the users of Blackmagic Design and Alteon, and emphasises an awareness of cost-conscious budgeting, while at the same time taking into account the quality of productions, as a unique selling point for the clientele of Blackmagic Design and Alteon.
