Professional Realtime MPEG-1/MPEG-2 Encoding and Decoding
MVRD2200V stands alone as a professional high-quality MPEG-1and MPEG-2 encoder with the ability to filter, stabilize and enhance analog source video prior to MPEG encoding. Powerful pre-filtering features in MVRD2200V include advanced 3D Y/C separation to reduce color noise and improve image quality, 3D digital noise reduction to eliminate noise in the analog video signal, a line time base corrector (LTBC) to correct any video images that jitter, as well as digital frame synchronization and auto gain controls.
Key Features MVRD2200V is the successor to the Canopus Amber board and features additional analog video signal filtering, cleaning and stabilization technology. Supporting realtime, hardware-based MPEG encoding and software-based MPEG decoding, MVRD2200V also includes an updated SDK, providing full board function control and backwards-compatibility for Amber and MediaEdge SDK-based applications.
MVRD2200V supports both Main Profile at Main Level (MP@ML) MPEG-2 and I-frame-only encoding. When using MP@ML, the MVRD2200V delivers the high-quality video and audio MPEG-2 output required by todays video professionals. MP@ML features true IBP frame format, which provides the highest-quality video at the lowest bandwidth. In addition, MVRD2200Vs variable bitrate capability (from 1Mbps to 15Mbps) is one of the most effective techniques used to maintain video quality while reducing file size. With composite and S-Video inputs, MVRD2200V is scalable up to full-D1 resolution with NTSC and PAL format support.
The software utilities included with MVRD2200V are MPEG Station, capture and playback application, and a DV AVI-to-MPEG file conversion utility. MPEG Station provides full resolution overlay for previewing footage during capture and features a detailed selection of encoding quality settings for users to adjust to meet their requirements.
MVRD2200Vs software also features an Adobe Premiere Pro 1.x timeline export plug-in for fast, high-quality encoding directly from the timeline and an SDK for program developers to create custom software that may utilize the hardware for a specific task. Applications developed in the past with the MVRD2200Vs predecessor, Amber, have included recording of medical procedures and security camera surveillance.
The realtime analog-to-MPEG capture capability of MVRD2200V also makes it an ideal companion to the Grass Valley MediaEdge system. When combined with MediaEdge, a LAN-based client/server video distribution system, MVRD2200V provides realtime MPEG encoding and live stream network broadcast of high-quality MPEG-2 video.
