MPEG Composer is an encoding management application that runs on top of Optibase's encoding platforms, giving you total control over the MPEG encoding process. MPEG Composer lets you compress video content into MPEG digital video formats for storage and later viewing on video kiosks, video servers, DVD, SuperVCD, CD-ROM and Video CD. MPEG Composer enables a wide selection of Optibase encoding boards that have feature sets designed to meet your exact application requirements.
MPEG Composer is available in several versions
- MPEG Composer 200 is a full- featured encoding management application that lets you customize and control encoding parameters when using Optibase’s range of MPEG MovieMaker 200S and MPEG MovieMaker 200 encoding platforms. This package enables powerful encoding features such as real- time VBR encoding and Dolby Digital audio. MPEG Composer 200 includes MPEG Organizer, the Device Control tool and pre- figured consoles for DVD and SuperVCD stream creation.
- MPEG Composer Starter comes bundled free with the MPEG MovieMaker 200S and MPEG MovieMaker 200 encoding platforms. It is designed to let you start encoding clips and test your encoding hardware.
Easy Upgrade Path
You can easily upgrade MPEG Composer Starter to MPEG Composer 200, depending on the hardware in your system.
A Wide Range of Tools
MPEG Composer packs powerful tools that cover all aspects of the encoding process. MPEG Composer 's central control panel puts you within easy reach of all the tools needed to carry out encoding sessions. It offers preset or detailed encoding modes that vary the amount of control you have over the encoding process. Precisely calibrated factory settings allow users who want to do quick and professional encoding to set video and audio quality, file format and content type all from one window. Technical users can choose the detailed mode to fine-tune their digital video streams for hand-crafted MPEG files.
With MPEG Composer 's decode-while-encode feature, you can save time drastically by monitoring the quality of your encoded stream as it is being encoded. In addition, MPEG Composer has a Diagnostics Utility that lets you easily keep track of your hardware's performance.
MPEG Composer 200 offers time saving features that enhance efficiency. You can schedule the start of encoding sessions based on date and time and also encode directly to FTP sites.
Frame Accurate Encoding
MPEG Composer's Device Control panel works together with the central encoding panel and MPEG Organizer™ to set frame-accurate start and stop points for exact and precise encoding. MPEG Composer's user-oriented interface lets you browse through your video source and set Start and Stop points as soon as you reach the desired frame. It then adjusts and displays the exact duration of the encoded stream.
Professional Batch Encoding
MPEG Organizer is a professional batch-encoding tool that lets you set global encoding parameters for numerous files. It keeps track of important file information including user comments, bit rate, input device and movie length, so you have all the information you need at a glance. MPEG Organizer lets you optimize your production facility for 24-hour-a-day efficiency: Prepare complex batch-encoding sessions ahead of time, then run them after-hours when your system is free for heavy-duty performance. MPEG Organizer can play back complex play lists that contain numerous files and multiplex video elementary streams into Program and Transport streams.
Instant Playback
MPEG Composer's Player supports several Optibase decoding boards as well as software playback applications such as Microsoft's Media Player. It can play back entire files or frame-accurate clips.
