C-Cube Microsystems Inc. and Toshiba Corp. joined up at the CeBIT trade show in Hanover last week to demonstrate a DVD-RAM storage system for MPEG-2 video files.
Using C-Cube's DVxplore single-chip codec, Toshiba's SD-W1101 DVD-RAM drive and Ulead video-editing software, the demonstration showed video transferred from a camcorder to a PC, spliced and edited in MPEG-2, then stored to a DVD disk, which can hold up to 2.6G bytes of data per side.
The DVxplore architecture features a time shifting/digital VCR function, which allows users to digitally record a television show while simultaneously playing back video from earlier in the program.
C-Cube also announced at the show that Pinnacle Systems Inc. will be using the DVxpress-MX to power its DC1000 MPEG-2 digital video-editing system. Information about pricing and availability was not released.
