The SD-2000’s encoding technology delivers cinematic-quality MPEG video and studio surround sound for commercial feature film releases. It includes all of the tools to compress your film or video masters to MPEG-2 video and Dolby Digital surround sound.

• Compress with Multiple Encoding Modes - Compress hard-to-process areas like fades, dissolves and rapid scene changes with maximum quality created by Constant-Q™ variable bit-rate (VBR) MPEG-2 encoding technology.
• Use SDI Input - Use the SD-series Encoder’s SDI input and output for one or two-pass CBR and two-pass VBR.
• Re-encode segments – Re-encode selected segments of your encode after the initial encode has finished.
• Inverse TelecineSupport- Synchronize audio and video quickly and easily. Advanced inverse telecine technology analyzes every field of video to determine the exact cadence, even when your source is mixed film/video or video post-processed film.
• Use Batch Encoding – Save time by encoding multiple clips in one session.
• Enjoy Advanced Encoding Tools - Access MPEG encoding parameters, including pre-filtering, frame-accurate chapter point placement, auto scene detection and segment-based re-encoding.
• Maintain Full Audio Support - Encode Dolby Digital, PCM surround sound, and stereo MPEG-1 layer 2 audio simultaneously using balanced analog or AES/EBU digital audio inputs.
