DIGITAL RAPIDS SHIPS AVC ENCODING MODULE

The module supports the encoding of AVC content for playback on consumer electronics devices and is powered by Nero Digital technology. The release expands the existing MPEG-4 and AVC/H.264 support in the Digital Rapids Stream product family with superior visual quality and significantly increased encoding speeds, including realtime encoding at maximum quality from live standard definition sources and faster than realtime transcoding from files.

The AVC Encoder supports Baseline and Main AVC/H.264 profiles, Simple and Advanced Simple MPEG-4 Part 2 profiles, and AAC and High-Efficiency AAC audio, all in an effort to help users prepare content files for platforms ranging from PCs to mobile phones and personal video devices.
