Divicom has a relationship to C-Cube. C-Cube's codec/transcoder technology has been done only in "Baseband". Critics say there is a better way. NAB is the place to show this............................. digitaltelevision.com Transcoding With TransRator In an exclusive first look, DiviCom showed us their TransRator realtime MPEG-2 rate changing transcoder. Using C-Cube's E4 chip and software specially written by DiviCom, the TransRator can handle small bitrate changes without having to transcode to baseband video (i.e., 6 Mbps in and 4 Mbps out). For larger variations, the TransRator decodes to baseband on a macroblock by macroblock basis using decoding information to more accurately re-encode the video in realtime with a one second latency delay. DiviCom's TransRator is scheduled for release in 1999 and is targeted for those doing 4:2:2 acquisition and 4:2:0 ad insertion. DiviCom believes that in time, TransRator will be able to handle non-baseband logo insertion as well.
