Some more information is coming out about Frantic Films VFX’s new Deadline product.  Major new features : Support for MetaRender and a Mac OS X port.

The latest version provides support for MetaRender, the render package from IRIDAS that automates complex transcoding tasks in production pipelines and post facilities. MetaRender works across platforms and greatly simplifies the task of managing file conversions, including burning-in grading or LUTs and adding file information for viewing with digital dailies.
