Can handle five video input sources (live camera or pre-recorded files) simultaneously and transition effects can be applied to them.

Scheduling functionality helps in cases of live and on-demand editing.


Features


Decoding and Encoding


Decodes various media such as Microsoft WMV (Windows Media Video), Real Media Video, QuickTime, and MPEG2 (the digital TV standard) and encodes to WMV and FLV.


It will work with files on a hard drive, across a network and captured video from camcorder or video tape recorder (VTR).


Multi-bit Encoding


The multi-bit encoding function provides both pre-defined profile and user-defined profile options when saving the content.


Transition Effects


The FX effects can be applied to five video input sources simultaneously for live streaming output (or you can save your work for later use).


Graphics Insertion and Titles


It supports real-time caption, subtitle, logo and ad insertion features based on text, image and animation. Streamed video can also be dubbed and video inserted in time with the music, etc.


Scheduling


Further more it allows you to schedule the input and output streams by time. You can set the clip duration with switching effects, special effects as well as title, caption and logo insertion.



Real life scenarios - Live events and WEB TV Studios


Several events are recorded or live broadcasted to share the experience and communicate the message. Although the budgets and venues vary, they have many similar technical requirements.


The video mixer (hardware or software) must be user friendly so the people who operate it do not require a high technical knowledge.


The video mixer must be able to accept several video sources simultaneously and work with industry standard formats as the digital cameras being used can be a mixture of anything from professional to budget consumer models.


In both cases, our solution excels with its at-a-glance layout and ability to handle five video sources simultaneously in real-time.


The background technology automatically identifies the components, interfaces and protocols of streaming video and audio decoding/encoding/trans-coding, multi-source transition, digital effects and insertion functions.


As for the arts, Web TV, studios, etc. If you want a vision mixer for TV production on a tight budget, or want to apply the theory of TV broadcasting in real-life scenarios and so add depth to your knowledge through application, then our technology will be a useful addition to your studio.


Integrated streaming video encoding/decoding, support of analogue, digital and stream input, real time caption and logo insertion is just the beginning.


It can also handle five video input sources simultaneously and transition effects can be applied to them. And all in real-time.


This is because it was designed from the outset to work in real time, to achieve professional quality and to deliver high performance, all at various sample rates and sizes and in multiple video industry standards.


Scheduling functionality is available in both live editing and on-demand editing.
