Sony® MPEG-2 Encoder

 

The Sony MPEG-2 Encoder incorporates advanced LSI chips designed specially for BD-ROM encoding to give you the best of both worlds - superb encoded picture quality and real-time encoding performance from a Digital VTR via HD-SDI interface. The encoder features support for bit rates up to 40 Mbps as well as a variety of resolutions up to 1080p including creation of Picture-In-Picture (PIP) secondary video streams. In addition, support for seamless multiangle, closed-captioning and still image encoding for slideshows, mean that all aspects of Blu-ray Disc encoding are covered. The Sony MPEG-2 encoder also features a wealth of professional image optimization tools including advanced customization parameter control, inverse 2:3 pulldown processing and automatic scene change detection. The Sony MPEG-2 Encoder’s professional features combine to ensure that you can always deliver the perfect quality compression that your business demands.

Key Features
  • Real-time Hardware Encoding via HD-SDI - The Sony MPEG-2 encoder is a single powerful PCI board with HD-SDI in/out and 9-pin VTR remote control for real-time encoding directly from your video deck.
  • Comprehensive Blu-ray Disc Support - Create MPEG-2 primary and secondary (Picture-In-Picture) video elementary streams, menu backgrounds, and slideshow still images with guaranteed 100% compliance for Blu-ray Disc.
  • Flexible Multi-pass Encoding - The Sony encoder’s powerful multi-pass encoding system allows for an initial analysis pass to be run before optional bit rate reallocation. The first pass is then followed by the final encoding pass giving ultimate results in just two passes.
  • Inverse 2:3 Pull-down Processing - The Sony MPEG-2 Encoder handles 29.97fps telecine source material by efficiently recognizing the 2:3 pattern and generating BD-ROM compliant streams. In two-pass encoding the 2:3 pattern is detected during the first pass and can be manually edited during customization.
  • Automatic Scene Change Detection - Scene change points are detected and assigned to the I-frames of the GOP structure for effective optimization of the video quality.
  • Simultaneous Audio Capture/Encode - The Sony MPEG-2 Encoder offers further workflow acceleration via its support for capturing Linear PCM or encoding Dolby® Digital (AC-3) audio from the embedded audio channels of the incoming HD-SDI signal.
