Vela is a C-Cube customer....................... broadcastengineering.com Vela Enables Simultaneous Encoding of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 Clearwater, FL (June 29, 2000) -- Vela, a leading provider of video compression products for the cable and broadcast industries, today announced the release of Argus Dual-Stream Encoding, a software plug-in option for their Argus MPEG encoding systems that allows both MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video streams to be generated simultaneously, greatly reducing production time in applications requiring both formats. The Argus encoder is the first system of its kind to enable simultaneous frame accurate encoding in MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 formats. The dual stream encoding option is ideal for digital archiving and other applications that require a high resolution MPEG-2 master for storage and playback as well as an MPEG-1, low bit-rate proxy stream for browsing the video content over a LAN/WAN network or the Internet. "Until the release of Vela's dual-stream encoding, users would have to encode video streams twice; once to generate an MPEG-2 stream and a second time to generate the stream in MPEG-1," said Sunil Arora, Chief Operating Officer. "Creating both MPEG formats at once greatly simplifies the production process in addition to saving a considerable amount of time." Argus encoders provide 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 broadcast-quality encoding on the Windows NT platform. In addition to video archiving, the dual stream encoding option is valuable in broadcast production, post production, corporate video production, network-based content browsing, and other applications that require both high and lower quality video content for multiple purposes.
