IPV Encoders
The challenges of delivering high resolution video to multiple users - time, bandwidth and
functionality - are yet to be overcome. The answer is SpectreView, IPV's globally-proven
'shadow browse' system where an exact low bit-rate copy of the original high resolution
video media is created and used in parallel with the original asset. Media ingested from
video signals and file-based sources is intelligently encoded to add true usability and
value to the asset, then served within a powerful, efficient and scalable architecture,
all whilst emulating true VTR performance.
With SpectreView, hundreds of users at once can access video assets on their desktop
browsers with minimal infrastructure investment and using standard PC or Mac hardware.
Changes, editorial decisions or additions to the shadow browse asset are then reflected
precisely back to the high-resolution asset, minimising the costly and time consusming
movement and data handling of the original media.
Using SpectreView-based products as part of the systems they provide to broadcast and
professional video organisations, partners can provide advanced, low bit-rate proxy browse
solutions for use within newsroom, scheduling, automation, media asset management and
subtitling or captioning environments.
Pioneer
nSpectre Pioneer is a DSP based real-time encoder used to create frame accurate, low bit-rate
proxy media within the SpectreView browse system. In conjunction with IPV's SpectreView server
and client software, Pioneer enables a live SDI source to be captured and fed live to a number
of browse users concurrently and for immediate desktop use, even whilst the encode is still
taking place.
Using either WM9 VC-1, MPEG2 or MPEG4 (ASF) codecs, Pioneer can encode an SDI signal into a
SpectreView media file in either QSIF, SIF or full scale PAL/NTSC (D1) resolutions, embedding
associated metadata during this process.
It encodes four mono audio tracks from the SDI input as well as capturing frame-accurate timecode
data on a frame-by-frame basis. It can also perform video scene-change detection, wide screen
signalling, closed caption data capture and logo burn-in for 'spoiler' purposes, all in
real-time.
nSpectre Pioneer is available in two or four channel variants.
Soyuz
nSoyuz is a DSP based real-time encoder used to create frame accurate, low bit-rate proxy media
within the SpectreView browse system. Available in either 2 or 4 channel versions.
Using either WM9 VC-1, MPEG2 or MPEG4 (ASF) codecs, Soyuz encodes an SDI signal into a SpectreView
media file in either QSIF, SIF or full scale PAL/NTSC (D1) resolutions, embedding associated metadata
during this process.
It encodes eight mono audio tracks per encode channel from the SDI input, as well as capturing
frame-accurate timecode data on a frame-by-frame basis, with advanced pre-filtering. It can also
perform video scene change detection, wide screen signalling, closed-caption data capture and logo
burn-in for 'spoiler' purposes, all in real-time.
Soyuz is available in two or four channel variants.
