Firecoder BLU tarjoaa rautapohjaisen reaaliaikaa nopeamman H264-
ja MPEG2 - enkoodaustuen. Tekniikan avulla enkoodaukseen käytetty
aika lyhenee merkittävästi ja säästynyt aika voidaan käyttää
tehokkaaseen työskentelyyn. H264 on erittäin tehokas ja laadukas
koodekki jota käytetään niin Blu Ray-levyillä kuin
Internet-pohjaisessa videotuotannossa (mm. Flash tukee H264
enkoodattuja videoita sekä streameja).

Accelerated Blu-ray Encoder and More
Based on the PCI Express form factor, our FIRECODER Blu board
provides accelerated encoding of Blu-ray compatible video sourced
from any number of video applications, including our own
EDIUS nonlinear editing software. You can then output its
results directly to a Blu-ray disc or to a Blu-ray compatible file
for additional authoring.
The FIRECODER Blu board also lets you transcode between H.264 and
MPEG-2 formats; it supports 1080i and 720p as well as native 24p
Blu-ray formats. It supports up- and downconversion of standard- and
high-definition (SD and HD) sources. And it encodes HD source
materials 2X faster than real time—and SD source materials 4-5X
faster than real time.
The board also includes our FIRECODER WRITER software, a collection
of basic Blu-ray and DVD authoring tools. Among other capabilities,
these tools let you create chapters from Canopus HQ source files.
