1.2 RAPID Encoder Presentation
The RAPID is a hardware accelerated JPEG-2000 compressor. It allows the encoding of
uncompressed files, typically, but not restricted to tiff files and JPEG-2000 files compliant with
the DCI specification.
The RAPID Encoder GUI is laid out in six tabs:
Source Tab Use this tab to encode frames from a File or HD-SDI (High Definition-
Serial Digital Interface) device. User must choose the source from
this tab.
Output Tab Use this tab to view and change the properties of the source for
encoding. Properties such as number of frames, video standard (i.e.,
pixels and lines), color space, etc.
Compression Tab Use this tab to control the rate at which encoding occurs. The default
rate is set to VBR (Variable Bit Rate) at 250Mb/s (DCI Specified),
however, these options can be changed.
VTR Control Use this tab to send commands to the HD-SDI device, either
manually or automatically. The VTR control uses the standard Sony
9Pin protocol to send commands to the device.
Job Manager Use this tab to view, schedule, add, or delete encoding jobs (primarily
available when encoding from a file source).
Report Tab Use this tab to view the various messages encountered by the server
while encoding (i.e.,encoding job started/finished, duration of the job,
number of frames encoded, missing frames, etc).
