SpectSoft LLC., a leading provider of uncompressed video solutions, today announced the support of expanded rasters and mixed colorspace support within the Rave products.

Offering a solution that has the ability to mix SD, HD, 2K, 4K and even unusual rasters in the same playlist at the highest quality is only a portion of what Rave is all about. Rave now ships standard with the ability to support any frame sizes you give it, scale them, convert them and play them out in real-time via SDI." comments Jason Howard, Lead Developer of Rave.
