DVEO Launches Tape Asset Management and Encoder Workstation for Converting Betacam SP and Other Video Tape Formats to MPEG-2 or H.264
Tape Coder II(TM) Converts Tape Libraries to High Quality Airable Digital Formats
San Diego, California -- DVEO, the broadcast division of Computer Modules, Inc. (CMI), is now shipping their encoding workstation for converting tape based assets to digital files. The Tape Coder II(TM) will be showcased at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam, September 9-13, at Stand 2.A48.
Developed for broadcasters and content providers, the Tape Coder II(TM) is designed to quickly acquire, index, and categorize existing media to the best distribution quality digital formats possible at this time.
The Windows® based system encodes tape based video to MPEG-2 or H.264, then edits and re-multiplexes the resulting transport streams. Users can merge multiple tapes and add parental ratings, operator messages, and commercials. The system stores captured files directly to an embedded 2.0 TB RAID0 drive or to the user's NAS (Network Attached Storage).
"This product was custom designed for a major broadcast operator," stated Scott Grizzle, Product Manager for DVEO. "They insisted on having us design this since other products on the market were way too expensive or cumbersome to use. We recommend the Tape Coder II to our customers who need to monetize tape based assets for digital broadcasting."
The system features a high end work flow oriented user interface. Audio compression can be MPEG-1 Layer II, AAC-LC, HEV1/2-ACC, Dolby Digital® AC3 pass-through, or optional Dolby Digital® AC3.
