Digital Rapids Studio AVC Encoder
The Digital Rapids Studio AVC Encoder options for StreamZ, StreamZHD and Digital Rapids Transcode Manager provide premium-quality AVC/H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) live streaming or file-based encoding meeting the stringent requirements of professional applications and distribution platforms including VOD, IPTV and Blu-ray. The Studio AVC Encoder supports Baseline, Main and High AVC/H.264 profiles, with full configurability of levels and parameters, and interlaced or progressive output. Closed Caption data can be embedded in H.264 Elementary Streams with support for EIA-608, EIA-708 and SCC.
Frame-compatible 3D encoding combines separate left-eye and right-eye source files for side-by-side or top/bottom frame-compatible stereoscopic 3D distribution, with the appropriate Frame Packing Arrangement SEI messages inserted during H.264 encoding. (SEI messages can also be inserted while encoding previously-combined, single-file frame-compatible 3D sources.)
Stream FE software or Digital Rapids Transcode Manager is required.
The Studio AVC Encoder is available by itself or as a bundle:
- DRC Studio AVC Encoder — AVC/H.264 video encoding to Elementary Streams (files or RTP streams); frame-compatible 3D encoding
- DRC Studio AVC Encoder Bundle — AVC/H.264 video encoding to Elementary Streams (files or RTP streams); frame-compatible 3D encoding; output to .MP4 files; flexible multiplexing of H.264 video and audio streams into Transport Streams with muxing technology from Manzanita Systems
- Flexible muxing architecture enables simultaneous output of multiple Elementary and Transport Streams in a single step while eliminating redundant encoding (e.g. multiple Transport Streams with the same video but differing audio such as languages)
- Muxing architecture supports insertion of SCTE 35 Cueing Messages for Digital Program Insertion (e.g. ad insertion)
- Dolby Pulse (AAC-LC, HE-AAC) and MPEG Layer 2 audio support included (Dolby Digital/AC-3 and Dolby Digital Plus audio support available as an additional option)
