How it works

QTAKE runs on macOS using latest software and hardware technology available from Apple, Inc. It uses QuickTime-based movie files so you can share your media across QuickTime compatible applications, such as Final Cut Pro.

QTAKE uses video hardware from AJA, BMD and Deltacast to capture Standard or High Definition video, audio and timecode information. Each clip is captured to a high speed media storage and can be retrieved instantly for playback, editing or compositing. Using extensive meta-data, QTAKE improves project workflow far beyond regular video assist.

By utilizing the GPU power of modern advanced graphics cards, QTAKE is able to perform intensive image processing in realtime. This includes live composite with realtime keying capabilities.
