Key Features
Whether you’re encoding MPEG for DVD production or a Windows Media Video for Web
streaming, ProCoder makes conversion from one video format to another quick and easy.
Featuring Grass Valley’s highly optimized DV and MPEG codec technologies, ProCoder
provides high-quality output without the long wait and guesswork of similar tools.
Supports the loading/exporting of Dolby Digital audio (.ac3)
Dolby Digital audio (.ac3) and MPEG files that contain Dolby Digital audio, such as a
video recorded with a DVD recorder, can be used as audio sources, as can AVCHD
files.
Dolby Digital audio can also be exported and you can map audio channels with an
audio filter, channel mixer.
Audio channel mixer
You can load a source file with multiple audio channels and allocate audio channels
before exporting the file.
You can allocate the audio tracks of an EDIUS project to specified channels and
export these as an audio file.
High-speed HDV encoder (Speed Encoder)
On a PC with multiple CPU cores, ProCoder 3 can export HDV MPEG-TS files at high
speed. By utilizing original GRID encoding technology, the encoding time can be
reduced, depending on the number of CPU cores.
* RAM larger than [number of the CPU cores] x [512MB] is required.
Supports Flash encoding
You can generate a file in the Flash7 format, which is suitable for Web Video contents.
Supports H.264 encoding
You can generate an H.264 file that can be played on mobile terminals, including
cellular phones.
Convenient features for loading DVD files
When you load a DVD (VOB) onto the ProCoder, the chapter information can be
retained for use. You can also load files and split these, based on the chapters.
Improved progressive video quality
The noise reduction filter has been improved, which reduces the combing noise
that ordinarily occurs when converting an interlaced video to a progressive format.
Another filter that specializes in Inverse Telecine has been added.
