Actus View for Compliance, Monitoring and Content Repurposing
The new Actus View version 5 release offers enhanced support for multiple audio tracks and multiple subtitles. Users can record multiple subtitles and audio tracks and select different languages from the subtitles/audio track menu, synchronizing the language along with the selected video, while monitoring or exporting clips.
Loudness measurements combined with robust logging allow users to quickly review the status and provide continuous, exportable measurements as proof of compliance and to defend against loudness complaints. The powerful combination of loudness measurement and logging easily demonstrates compliance with loudness standards.
New in version 5, Actus View records Transport Stream (TS), allowing broadcasters and operators to record the transport stream “as is” from any input (MPEG-2, MPEG-4) and in the same high resolution. Actus View supports ASI, ATSC, DVB-T/T2 Analog and SDI.
Actus Clip Factory – Repurpose Broadcast Media in Full HD Quality
Actus Clip Factory offers one of the most efficient workflows for repurposing broadcasted content. Clip Factory supports all formats and resolutions, managing recording of media from any device or source. Users can edit media, transcode clips, and distribute the repackaged content to any destination.

Users can easily take broadcast media and quickly create multiple clips, removing ads if needed, all while maintaining and adding metadata to clips.
