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.
