IBM losses at least part of SeaChange's business...........optibase.com Architecture The MPEG MovieMaker 200 family offers the full range of video and audio interfaces, video resolutions, audio encoding formats and MPEG multiplexing capabilities all on a single encoding board. MPEG MovieMaker boards are based on a unique modular design that allows for numerous configurations: MPEG MovieMaker 200 uses a daughter board to separate analog and digital processing, with all video and audio capturing taking place on the daughter board. With this approach Optibase can offer various configurations that can be targeted at different markets, applications, bandwidth and price point requirements. The MPEG MovieMaker 200 family covers the entire audio and video encoding spectrum, from MPEG-1 through MPEG-2 Half D-1, to high-end MPEG-2 encoding. MPEG MovieMaker 200?s video encoding circuit is based on the C-Cube DVXpert video-encoding chip, giving you the full benefit of real-time variable bit rate (RT-VBR), lower delays and pristine quality. MPEG MovieMaker 200?s audio encoding circuit is based on the powerful Motorola DSP chip that enables linear PCM capturing, MPEG-1 layer 2 audio and two-channel Dolby Digital encoding. biz.yahoo.com The agreement calls for Optibase to supply SeaChange with its MovieMaker(TM) 200 MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 digital video and audio encoding solutions, including support for Dolby multiple-channel encoding. The relationship will support SeaChange's growing demand from its television and telecommunications customers who wish to store, manage and distribute high quality digital video and Dolby audio.
