CineVision® SD

 

Professional Encoding Features

  • Comprehensive Encoding Settings - Professional compressionists can fine tune their encode settings with comprehensive access to every detail of the MPEG-2 encoding parameter set.
  • Encoding Presets - CineVision's optimized presets deliver stunning encodes for a variety of encoding situations without having to dig down into the advanced encoder settings.
  • One- and Two-pass Encoding Modes - Optimize throughput with single pass encoding or achieve the highest possible quality with two-pass encoding – the choice is yours.
  • Parameter Change Log - Retrace your steps with a list of every parameter changed, including the effect of each change on related settings. [Sonic Exclusive]
  • Batch Encoding - Maximize productivity and queue multiple encoding jobs for completion in a single process leaving compressionists to concentrate on other tasks while encodes are in progress.
  • Bit Budget™ Calculator - The most advanced bit budget calculator in the industry gives you the truest possible picture of project status and keeps you on target for every project. [Sonic Exclusive]
  • Built-in Input File Concatenation - Combine uncompressed capture files from different master tapes into a single encoded file.

 

Powerful Video Processing

  • Integrated DVO Brickwall processing from Digital Vision - Outstanding DVO Brickwall pre-processing technology from Digital Vision is available for use on entire encodes as well as during segment re-encoding. [Sonic Exclusive]

 

Segment Re-encoding

  • Advanced Segment Editing and Re-encoding - Perform detailed optimization on specific sections without lengthy re-encoding of the entire source content. CineVision features access to a large number of key parameters and DVO mastering tools on a segment basis. [Patent Pending]
  • Re-encoding Management Tools - CineVision includes an industry first multiple-take system allowing multiple versions of a segment to be re-encoded and instantly previewed. The final file size based on parameter changes is also monitored. [Sonic Exclusive]

 

Professional Video Timeline

  • Auto-scene Detection - CineVision features automatic scene change detection which dynamically adjusts the surrounding GOP structure to optimize your encoding results.
  • Frame-accurate I-Frame Positioning - Specify chapter point locations prior to encoding to guarantee frame-accurate placement of chapter points during authoring.
  • GOP Structure Display - View the structure of your encoded files right down to the individual I-, B-, and P-frames in each GOP.
  • PSNR Display - Comparing each encoded frame with its source to calculate a peak signal-to-noise ratio allows you to quantify the quality of a completed encode. [Sonic Exclusive]
  • Quantization Display and Control - CineVision displays the encoder’s internal quantization level which can be user-controlled - one of many tools available for improving encoding results. [Sonic Exclusive]

 

High-end QC Tools

  • ExpressQC™ Segment Marking - CineVision's automatic segment marking system cuts QC overhead by identifying sections that are statistically lower in quality compared to the source footage and flagging them for possible re-encode, saving hours of QC time. [Sonic Exclusive] [Patent Pending]
  • Varispeed Playback - Slow playback of your source and encoded files allows detailed QC evaluation of completed encodes. [Sonic Exclusive]
  • Synchronized Source/Encode Audition - Synchronized playback allows instant frame-by-frame comparison of the original source with the encoded file. [Sonic Exclusive]
  • SDI Output to External Video Monitor - QC your finished encode on an external reference monitor via SDI. This feature requires the NVidia FX-4500 GPU which is not included with CineVision.

 

HD Ready

  • Comprehensive Next-Generation Codec Support - CineVision is the industry standard for Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD production featuring support for the next generation AVC and VC-1 video codecs, making it the obvious future-proof choice for Standard Definition DVD-Video encoding. [Sonic Exclusive]

 

Seamless Workflow Integration

  • Comprehensive Input Format Support - CineVision integrates seamlessly into existing facility workflows, accepting all commonly used file formats (including AVI and QuickTime®). No matter what technology you are currently using or which formats it outputs, CineVision supports it. [Sonic Exclusive]
  • Scenarist Workgroup Integration - Seamless integration with Sonic Scenarist means CineVision completes your Scenarist Workgroup, providing an efficient, high-quality source-to-disc production solution. [Sonic Exclusive]
  • StreamData™ Support - Exchange key encoding metadata — including chapter-point information and file location - for unsurpassed integration with your Scenarist authoring system. [Sonic Exclusive]
  • CSV Chapter Point Support - Mark chapter points in an instant by importing a CSV file containing all your chapter point names and timecodes.
