And they were involved in this one too...... scri.com AB '99 Media Alert C-Cube Participates in Demonstration of All-Digital TV Production at The DVCPro Partners Inter-Operability Exhibit What: C-Cube will demonstrate an all-digital, single-PC solution for television broadcast stations who want to capture video in DV and output in MPEG-2 at the DVCPro Partners Inter-Operability Exhibit. Attendees will see DV video content, which was created in a simulated professional television broadcast environment, being transferred to a PC or "transcode station". At that station, the DV content will be transcoded to MPEG-2 in preparation for DVD and/or satellite distribution. The process will be all-digital - from capture to distribution.

J. TransRator is a system, not a chip.......................... 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.
