Visible Light uses Vela Research Centaur MPEG encoding systems... Which are Cube based on OLD Cube encoders... visiblelight.com About our encoding equipment This stuff sure isn't cheap. Visible Light uses Vela Research Centaur MPEG encoding systems. These are high-end Sun Sparc systems with component level and D1 inputs. Based around 14 C-Cube RISC processors, the output is extremely high quality. Variable Bit Rate (VBR) MPEG-2 encoding is supported, as well as standard MPEG-1 and MPEG-2. Audio processing is remarkably accurate. You'll love the quality. This seems a bit dated. I wonder if they've upgraded their equipments since. The Fourteen chip solution became 7 chips early 1997 ( c-cube.com ) and have since been superceded by the DVXplore solutions.
