Pinnacle Systems Announces miroVIDEO DC1000
A Dual Stream Video Editing Solution for Under $2500
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., - Pinnacle Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:PCLE) today announced miroVIDEO DC1000, a new dual stream digital video and audio editing solution featuring MPEG-2 technology for under $2500.
DC1000 is a digital video editing solution, capable of real time processing of titles and transitions, providing more than 300 real time effects. DC1000 provides hardware performance with an unparalleled software bundle including Adobe Premiere RT 5.1, Pinnacle Systems' TitleDeko titling software, Pixélan Software's Video SpiceRack effects and Sonic Foundry's ACID Music software. DC1000 can use analog or DV video and can output in DVD.
"The storage-efficient nature of the MPEG-2 technology used in DC1000 lowers overall system costs while allowing interoperability with DVD authoring and satellite distribution systems," said Bob Saffari, director of product marketing for C-Cube's broadcast and professional products. "This product is aggressive in both capabilities and pricing, we are honored to be part of it."
"Dual stream editing offers significantly higher productivity by reducing the need to render video segments to finish a production," said David Trescott, group manager from Adobe Systems' dynamic media products. "The DC1000's hardware design combined with Adobe's dual-stream Premiere RT 5.1 video editing software provides an extremely cost-effective production solution for video editing professionals today," Trescott added.
"We are extremely excited about our first MPEG-2 editing product," said Ajay Chopra, VP of the desktop group of Pinnacle Systems. "DC1000 offers customers unmatched performance, dramatically increasing productivity at a phenomenal price/performance ratio," Chopra added.
DC1000 takes advantage of storage efficient IPPP encoding of MPEG-2 video. Its unique design allows the user to edit MPEG-2 videos frame-by-frame even within compressed groups of pictures. DC1000's real time processing hardware also enables your final video production to be played with real-time effects – all on one editing system. The DC1000's MPEG-2 encoding system is based on the 4:2:2P@ML standard specifically designed for video editing. This provides frame-accurate editing based on Group of Pictures ("GOPs"), called "Smart-GOPs". Video is captured as industry-standard AVI files, stored as IPPP GOP format data, alongside PCM format audio. Although compatible with I-frame only MPEG-2 systems, DC1000's more efficient IPPP format provides the same quality with much lower storage requirements.
miroVIDEO DC1000 will be available soon at a suggested retail price of $2499 and is compatible with Windows 95/98 and Windows NT. Pinnacle Systems will also offer a DV (IEEE 1394) I/O module as an upgrade for the DC1000.
