Sonic Solutions Thursday introduced iMaster, which enables
professional audio engineers to master for CD-Audio and DVD-Audio production
and simultaneously compress the results for audio over the internet.
Masters produced by Sonic iMaster are compatible with SMDI compliant DRM
(Digital Rights Management) systems. iMaster lets users create a master from
a new recording and allows them to load a CD, DDP and 1630 master
automatically from archived content.
“We believe the Internet is becoming one of the most important distribution
mediums for record companies and digital content providers,” said Toni
Fiedler, managing director and co-founder at SYRINX music & media, a leading
DVD production house in Hamburg, a major center for digital media business in
Europe.
“In addition to preparing content using traditional CD-Audio and our
work in new formats such as DVD-Audio and audio for DVD-Video, we now look
forward to preparing audio for Internet distribution. By adding multiple
format functionality into our SonicStudio HD workstation, Sonic ensures that
we will be a true multi-format production facility for clients who are
planning to distribute in any secure fashion.”
