About

Alchemist X is a cloud-native video frame rate conversion platform developed by Grass Valley for professional broadcasting, live production, and global media distribution. The software uses eighth-generation motion-compensated processing technology to convert video between different broadcast standards while preserving image quality and smooth motion. It supports standard definition, HD, 1080p, and UHD 2160p formats, along with HDR and SDR conversion using HLG, PQ, and custom lookup tables. Its real-time processing capabilities enable broadcasters to convert live video feeds for simultaneous distribution across international markets and streaming platforms. Alchemist X also provides color space conversion, video enhancement, closed caption handling, and 16-channel audio processing with configurable gain, delay, and channel mapping.

About

Epiphan Connect is a cloud-based video capture and production platform that lets you use Zoom and Microsoft Teams meetings as virtual studios and bring meeting content into professional production workflows. It continuously captures active screen sharing and up to nine participant video sources in rich 1080p Full HD, delivers isolated audio tracks, and uses the Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocol for low-latency, secure feeds to your production software or hardware. Connect provides a virtual green room and confidence monitor return feed so participants can see how they appear in the broadcast, plus controls for camera and mic settings to help presenters look and sound their best. Producers have real-time connectivity insights and support for redundant services to maintain quality and reliability, and the platform integrates with popular production tools and systems such as vMix, OBS, Grass Valley AMPP, and the Epiphan ecosystem.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Quality conversion from European videos to North American broadcast formats without speeding or slowing the source. Keeps the included closed captions in sync. You can also do the reverse. Change of speed is applied also to the sound (25 to 23,976, 24 to 25fps...), absolutely great. It can also upscale your content, but no AI to improve the picture. It is not the strength of this software. But for regular broadcast works, it keeps the quality of the picture when your source is film content. Also very good results when video sources (interlaced) are used.

Cons

  • It takes some times to find the correct parameters. Render process is quite slow (90 minutes movie may take 4 to 5 hours, depending on your hardware). Created for broadcast users. Pricey.
