Heres what a selection of Alchemist OD users have to say:

"Snell has repeatedly delivered outstanding quality to us; hence Alchemist OD was on the top of the list when we decided to review file-based conversion solutions. We have looked at every single application out there and Alchemist OD has undoubtedly outperformed all by far. Our clients are global leaders in media and broadcasting and we simply cannot afford to offer anything less than the best," said Chris Watson, Technical Director, Deluxe Media.

"This world class product provides us with a robust, scalable software platform that enables seamless file-based frame rate conversion and allows us to bring enhanced quality to our customers. We expect Snells renowned knowledge and expertise in high-end image processing technology to enable us to stay at the forefront of the industry, maintaining our excellent reputation and growing our customer base," said Dr. Ing. Giovanni Contri, VP Operations, WCP Media Services.

"We purchased Alchemist OD to take our conversion processes up to UHD in our lab as we already had very good experience with the Snell Alchemist Ph.C-HD for live conversion. Snell has a deep knowledge of conversion algorithms, and this shows again in Alchemist OD," said Dagmar Driesnack, Project Manager, IRT.

"We have adopted Alchemist OD for handling our file-based format and frame rate conversion in house. We manage a lot of high-profile film content so the quality of the final output is a top priority. Using Alchemist OD gives us an undeniable competitive advantage in our industry. We are delighted with the product," said Paul Wright, Director of Technology, dragon.

"We purchased Alchemist OD for our Blu-ray & DVD authoring as well as our online video services to improve the quality of our operation and to optimize our workflow. We were familiar with the premium quality of Alchemist Ph.C-HD but we have become more sensitive to conversion artefacts since and with Alchemist OD Snell has once again raised the benchmark. By improving on the conversion quality and removing complex conversion parameters, Alchemist OD enables us to turn work around fast and save costs," said Harald Gericke, MD, platin media productions GmbH & Co. KG.
Virtual Post
"Alchemist OD is the answer we have sought for standards conversion; it provides unrivalled quality and breathtaking results. It sets a new benchmark for the conversion of performance content for digital cinema, and films for television and DVD, without ever needing to slow down or speed up again," said Jon Lee, CTO, Virtual Post.
"Alchemist OD has quickly established itself as the premier choice for high quality, file-based standards conversion, delivering even better results than the previous gold standard - Alchemist Ph.C-HD," said Robert Rowe, managing director of Live TV at Snell. "Combine that with its ability to handle 4K and low frame rates, easy integration with file-based workflows and its competitive pricing, and its obvious why Alchemist OD is so much in demand."
