When enough of these editing systems are deployed, we will see MPEG-2 cameras for video capture......................... tvbeurope.com Fame for C-Cube C-Cube Microsystems have launched DVxpress, a single-chip MPEG-2 encoder/decoder for nonlinear editing applications. With the first silicon solution to offer Frame-Accurate MPEG Editing (Fame), C-Cube is backing an industry shift to MPEG as the standard editing format. DVxpress significantly enhances NLE applications improving image quality, storage capacity and reducing overall system costs. Leading NLE vendors to endorse the product include Pinnacle Systems and Fast Multimedia. Fame offers control over each frame of MPEG video, regardless of frame type. In addition, DVxpress combines Fame with multiple-stream decoding and realtime special effects. C-Cube Microsystems MPEG-2 editor Applied Applied Digital Technology has launched the ADedit system, bring nonlinear editing capability to MPEG-2 environments. The system is available in three versions. Adedit 1 is for simple cuts only, ADedit FX Level 2 for more advanced editing functions and ADedit FX+ Level 3 for reprocessing edit transitions to produce MPEG files. Unlike JPEG editors, ADedit can import MPEG files, so there is no loading time in an MPEG environment. As a stand-alone system or a client to an ADnet file server system. ADedit's ability to produce an edited version of a MPEG file makes it particularly suited to news applications. ADedit can reduce the amount of MPEG data being sent, reducing uploading time and costs. The EDL can also be uploaded so that the main newsroom can transmit the story as is or make their own version having to re-edit from scratch. Applied Digital Technology Seamless splicing Viewgraphics has introduced MediaSplice for the seemless joining together of MPEG-2 digital television segments. MediaSplice makes it possible to play DTV programmes back to back and insert commercials into DTV streams. Until now digital television has been handicapped by the absence of a general-purpose way of cutting MPEG-2 clips together. Because it has not been practical to cut MPEG-2 streams, pioneers in DTV have been forced to originate everything in conventional analogue video, using conventional switchers and broadcast equipment, then simply encoding the output feed. MediaSplice works with unmodified MPEG-2 transport streams currently produced by industry standard MPEG-2 encoders, splicing streams of different bit rates together. It can also process multiple streams simultaneously. MediaSplice joins any valid CBR transport stream to any other valid CBR transport stream seamlessly. Viewgraphics Fast editing MPEG Fast has announced details of its MPEG-2 based editing solution, 601 (Six-0-One) which integrates hardware and software. It offers dual stream real-time editing in every phase of a project with an architecture open to all video and audio formats, and specially designed Windows NT editing software. The 601 includes new editing software created by Fast, a PCI plug-in board and a rack mountable connection box. It provides inputs and outputs for SDI, Y/C (S-Video, Hi-8), CVBS (VHS, Video8) as well as for audio. Audio features include two (basic) or four (YUV option) inputs, two outputs, as well as eight parallel active layers. Fast claims that the 601 is one of the first products to be fully DTV and 16:9 ready. Fast
