The FileSplitter FPU is the analogon to the FileMerger FPU. It uses an edit decision list describing which parts of an input audio file should be separated in stand-alone files, including pre-defined cross-fades and overlappings. The edit decision list can be compiled by QUADRIGA while doing the preservation transfer, or can be externally delivered.

The cryptographic Hash Generator and Hash Checker manage file-based integrity checksums with MD5 and the whole Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) family (from SHA-1 and SHA-2 up to SHA-512 with a message digest of 512-bits).

WavPack upgrades the media packing tools for another lossless packer. One big advantage of WavPack compared to the as well supported FLAC is, that metadata chunks in BWF archive files remain untouched by the WavPack method.

The Complex Filename Processor allows rule-based re-naming of output files.

A new Media Essence Analyzer looks into a media container and extracts metadata, describing the containing essences individually for every media container to process. The extracted metadata can be directly used to define processing rules in the Decider at runtime, allowing format-dependent workflow steps.

Supported container formats include: MXF, GXF, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, AVI, QuickTime, Flash Video, RealMedia, DV...
