New Encoder Creates Dual MPEG Files from Single Source
March 25, 2004
Paris, France - Vitec Multimedia has introduced the TwinPEG Pro, a PCI encoding card for Windows 2000 or XP operating systems, supporting SDI digital input as well as component, composite and S-video inputs. Two frame accurate output MPEG files may be created, chosen from MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 formats.
The product has been designed to provide a highly flexible encoding solution for storage and archiving applications. The ability to create a file at high resolution, such as MPEG-2 at 4:2:2 profile (up to 50 Mbits/s), simultaneously with a low bitrate MPEG-4 index file is ideal for video archiving systems, the manufacturer describes.
The TwinPEG Pro is based on the revolutionary “Hybrid Technology” which won Vitec Multimedia the European Information Technology Prize in 2001. The Hybrid architecture is based on the Vitec VM2000 ASIC and uses the host PC as a co-processor in order to achieve a powerful and flexible, yet cost-effective solution.
Additional features include the ability to preview video on the host screen while encoding, pause/resume function and split mode (consecutive frame accurate files generation of a defined length).
A version of the TwinPEG Pro, designated the VM2 Pro, is available to developers and integrators and includes a powerful software development kit for the creation of custom applications.
The anticipated North American MSRP is $6,000.00
