Drastic Technologies

Company Overview

Drastic’s long history in digital video has given it the tools to enhance baseband, IP video and file/codec workflows as both plug ins and standalone applications and servers. Developing plugins for the Adobe environment, Drastic allows direct access to raw camera sources, outputs to industry standard file/codec formats and connections to new standards like SMPTE-2110. By supporting Adobe native formats, like OpenMXF, advanced ‘edit while ingest’ workflows are also supported from SDI and IP Video (2110, 2022, RTSP, RTP & UDP). Most of these technologies are also available as SDKs to allow third party integration with Drastic and Adobe workflows.
