Optibase Introduces Broadcast Quality HD Encoder
April 07, 2005
Mountain View, CA & Herzila, Israel - Optibase will debut real-time professional MPEG-2 HD encoding for the PC at NAB.
The MovieMaker 200 HD board is designed to support both high definition and standard definition video input, with MPEG-2 compression support at up to 80Mbps. The board is designed to digitize from an array of inputs (file, analog or digital) and to drop files to a host as either compressed or uncompressed data.
The MovieMaker 200 HD board will ship with Optibase's full-featured encoding management application, MPEG Composer 200, version 4.0, with integrated device control, parameter setting, and encode status monitoring. The board will be released with a powerful software developer toolkit (SDK) for system integrators and OEM partners to develop their own HD-based applications and products.
"Users have long trusted our MovieMaker 200S as a reliable platform for top quality video and audio encoding," commented Boaz Gruener, vice president, Optibase's video technologies business unit. "With the introduction of MovieMaker 200 HD, we will be able to offer these customers six-times more resolution for even greater levels of detail -- which is the kind of quality improvement that is essential for all applications, from more accurate military surveillance to broadcast-quality video output for content creators."
MovieMaker 200 HD is expected to be available in Q3 of 2005.
