Dubbed “The Video Tool for the Audio Operator”, VCube hosts a powerful set of functions in an easy to understand and simple to setup User interface.

Capture and Compile

With its impressive array of codecs and file wrapper support, VCube is the perfect tool for any transfer or VT room. It can read and import MXF/OMF/AAF and FCP XML sequences directly to its timeline, will read files directly from industry standard HD cameras like the Sony and Panasonic and can easily compile a variety of files and codec to the same timeline. Preparation for the dubbing session is quick and easy with VCube.
 

Post-Sync Video Playout

In the theatre, VCube is the ultimate replacement for the video tape player-recorder. An incredibly simple and easy to use timeline and presets for complex configurations make this the ultimate video tool for the audio engineer. Then with a variety of sync options including 9pin, LTC, MTC and Merging Technologies own Virtual Transport ™ over IP, combined with its ability to do on-the-fly timecode gearboxing, makes locking your video to any system as simple as possible.

Wrap and Deliver

Back in the transfer room after the mix is finished, VCube becomes the final step in the chain. It has the ability to import audio to the timeline and DolbyE can be decoded and edited in realtime for QC purposes. Finally, VCube will wrap (as MXF/MOV/AVI among many others) or layback to tape via a variety of audio and video outputs using the internal chase synchronizer. All this enables VCube to remove the need to use the high revenue generating dubbing theatres for creating masters and performing quality control tests.
