Powerful MPEG-1 Encoders
MPEG MovieMaker™ is a family of powerful, single board MPEG-1 encoders with features that fit all your digital video needs. MPEG MovieMaker encoders are ideal for networking, archiving and content creation applications. Encoded video and audio can be distributed over LAN, T1/E1, ISDN, and other communication media. This is ideal for surveillance applications, video-monitoring facilities, multimedia presentations, computer-based training and Internet or Intranet video publishing.
Versatile Digital Video Solution
MPEG MovieMaker encoding boards benefit from Optibase’s extensive experience in MPEG technology. They are equipped with unique SmartMux technology that allows the creation of MPEG-1 QSIF streams from bit rates as low as 64 Kbit/s. SmartMux encoding creates smooth audio and video streams by overcoming the jerky motion of low bit rate frame sampling. Improved quality at low bit rates lets you optimize transmission by using bandwidth more efficiently.
Optional Software Packages
Optibase’s Customer First approach to digital video creation allows you to combine the MPEG MovieMaker boards with several software packages, according to your application requirements. Whether setting up a content creation facility, business television application or remote surveillance monitoring system, one of Optibase’s software packages gives you the tools you need.
For Video Publishers and Content Creators: MPEG Composer™ Plus
MPEG MovieMaker Plus, together with the award-winning MPEG Composer Plus encoding management application, is a powerful video publishing solution that allows users to distribute video titles on Video CD and CD-ROM discs. MPEG Composer supports VTR device control for frame accurate encoding. It also includes MPEG Organizer™, a comprehensive batch-encoding tool that lets users encode multiple files easily and efficiently.
For Networking System Integrators: MPEG ComMotion™ UDP
When controlled by MPEG ComMotion UDP, MPEG MovieMaker becomes a sophisticated networking package that supports the DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) protocol and enables the transmission of video over digital networks, from IP multicasting over LAN and Intranets to ATM and satellite networks. MPEG ComMotion UDP tools include a transmission and receiver application as well as ActiveX development tools that jump-start the development needed to set up transmission applications.

MPEG MovieMaker is available in two versions:
MPEG MovieMaker Plus is a top-of-the-line MPEG-1 encoding platform with maximum encoding rates of 5 Mbit/s. MPEG MovieMaker Plus has outstanding features which set this encoding board apart. It encodes System, Program and Transport streams allowing developers to integrate digital video into transmission applications. Multi-channel support saves installation and administration overhead by letting you install several MPEG-1 encoding boards in a single computer. These features make the MPEG MovieMaker Plus the preferred choice for IP and ATM-based video transmission applications where stability, quality and synchronization are crucial.
MPEG MovieMaker XPress is an entry-level MPEG-1 encoding platform for system integrators and application developers. It produces MPEG-1 streams with top bit rates of 3 Mbit/s and is designed for multi-point to center video transmission applications such as video monitoring, tele-medicine and surveillance.
