Vector 3 (http://www.vector3.tv), a developer of IT-based graphics and playout solutions, announced today that its Vector MultiPlay product line now supports the Apple ProRes codec.

The newly supported codec offers full format compatibility to Vector MultiPlay customers who use Final Cut Pro for production. MultiPlay is Vector 3’s IT-based, multi-channel playout solution that’s designed to optimize redundancy management for multi-channel broadcasters.

ProRes is a standard-definition and high-definition lossy video compression format developed by Apple for use in post production. It was introduced in 2007 with Final Cut Studio 2.

Attendees to the IBC 2010 exhibition, held in Amsterdam from Sept. 10–14, can visit Vector 3 and learn more about their support for the ProRes codec on stand 7.C01.
