CineVision®

 

CineVision has been designed for video professionals who demand the ultimate encoding control both before – with detailed access to all encoding parameters – and after you encode, with a comprehensive post–encode toolset

To provide you with the control you demand, CineVision has been packed with industry-leading, professional features, including:

Comprehensive Support

Support For All Next-Generation Codecs – With support for all three next-generation Blu-ray Disc codecs, CineVision is a true future-proof solution. Because no one knows what codecs will prevail, CineVision's support for all three makes it the safest possible encoding investment. [Sonic Exclusive]

Blu-ray Disc and DVD Legalization – All settings are automatically checked and legalized, providing peace of mind and allowing you to work productively without having to learn every detail of the new format specifications. [Sonic Exclusive]

DTS®– HD Professional Audio Encoding – With the state-of-the-art DTS-HD Master Audio Suite (optional for some CineVision systems) – featuring support for 7.1 surround and lossless VBR compression – CineVision ensures that your audio quality is a match for your high definition video.

Comprehensive Input Format Support – Wide-ranging input support enables easy integration into existing facility workflows. No matter what technology you are currently using or which formats it outputs, CineVision supports it. [Sonic Exclusive]

Efficient Workgroup Integration

Integrated award-winning mastering tools from Digital Vision - Incorporated DVO technology for film grain management, aperture correction, restoration, and filtering means the new challenges of encoding for HD can be met by large and small facilities alike. [Sonic Exclusive]. Please note that this feature is a paid option for some versions of CineVision.

Advanced Segment-based Editing - 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]

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™ – Exchange key encoding metadata – including chapter–point information and the server location of encoded media – for unsurpassed integration with your Scenarist authoring system. [Sonic Exclusive]

Batch Encoding – Maximize productivity by queuing multiple encoding jobs for execution in a single process.

Multiple Input Source Encoding – Combine uncompressed capture files from different master tapes into a single encoded file.

Advanced Encoding Control

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.

Comprehensive Encoder Settings – High-end compressionists can fine tune their parameter settings with comprehensive access to every detail of the encode settings.

Encoding Presets – CineVision's optimized presets deliver top-quality picture for a variety of encoding situations without nitty-gritty tweaking of advanced settings.

Frame-accurate IDR/I-Frame Positioning – Specifying chapter point locations prior to encoding guarantees frame-accurate placement of chapters during authoring.

Parameter Change Log – Retrace your steps with a list of every parameter changed, including the effect of each change on related settings. [Sonic Exclusive]

Auto-scene Detection – Automatic detection of scene changes enables dynamic adjustment of the surrounding GOP structures to optimize encoding results.

Professional Encoding Timeline

GOP Structure Display – View the structure of your encoded files right down to the I – , B– , and P-frame level.

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]

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 - The internal quantization level of the encoder is displayed and can be user-controlled as one of many tools available for improving results. [Sonic Exclusive]

Exclusive QC Tools

ExpressQC™ Segment Marking – CineVision's automatic segment marking system cuts QC overheads by identifying sections that are statistically lower in quality compared to the source footage. [Sonic Exclusive] [Patent Pending]

HD-SDI playback to external monitor – QC your finished encode on an external reference monitor via HD–SDI. This feature requires the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 SDI graphics card (not included).

Varispeed Playback – Slow playback of source and encoded files to allow detailed QC evaluation. [Sonic Exclusive]

Synchronized Source/Encode Audition – Synchronized playback allows instant frame-by-frame comparison of the original source with the encoded file. [Sonic Exclusive]
