New approach to standards conversion, transcoding and rewrapping for file based workflows
London, 18th June, 2010 – AmberFin today announced the release of iCR Version 5.5 for its award winning iCR Ingest, Transcode and Quality Control software range.

The business climate is improving and file based working is growing. This latest software release offers AmberFin customers the ability to streamline day-to-day operations, as well as opening up new business opportunities in file based international programme exchange.”
