IMF Studio Player

The IMF Studio Player is designed as a playback and quality assurance solution for IMPs (Interoperable Master Packages). Dependent on the image codec, the decoding is optionally accelerated by a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). Real-time playback of higher bitrate IMPs with up to 4k is supported. Using this technology, post-processing facilities can use the IMF Studio Player on standard hardware components.

The software is designed to run on a standard-PC as well as a Mac. Due to a very flexible subscription licensing model, IMF Studio enables users to create complex workflows in local and cloud-based environments.

For a first experience with this software, we offer a trial version of the IMF Studio Player as a free download. The trial version uses a visual watermarking when playing back packages. If you are interested in using it for your company after a test, please visit the webshop.
