Sony® AVC Encoder

 

This powerful and scaleable encoding software fully realizes the highest picture quality possible using the sophisticated AVC/H.264 codec. Depending on your requirements the distributed processing architecture allows you to scale your system all the way up to deploying a large number of PCs for real-time encoding. With complete support for picture-in-picture (PIP) secondary video streams, still images, and seamless multiangle content, every aspect of BD-ROM encoding is covered. The Sony AVC encoder also features access to advanced customization parameters, automatic scene change detection, closed-captioning and inverse 2:3 pulldown processing - all of which allows you to optimize picture quality throughout. The toolset is completed by a powerful standalone decoder application for efficient QC.

Key Features
  • Comprehensive Blu-ray Disc Support - Create AVC primary and secondary (Picture-in-picture) video elementary streams, menu backgrounds, and slideshow still images with guaranteed 100% compliance for Blu-ray Disc.
  • Flexible Multi-pass Encoding - The Sony AVC Encoder offers both fast and efficient single-pass encoding as well as powerful and optimized two-pass encoding. In the first pass of a two-pass encode content is analyzed and suitable bit rates are automatically allocated. Bit assignments can be optionally adjusted, and then the second (encoding) pass is performed.
  • Automatic Scene Change Detection - Scene change points are detected and are assigned to the I-frames of the GOP structure for effective optimization of the video quality.
  • Segment Re-encoding - Selected segments where picture quality adjustment is necessary can be encoded again with customized bit rate assignment as well as adjustments to a range of other important parameters.
  • Automatic Customization Function - Values are measured during the first pass of encoding and can automatically generate several candidates for bit rate allocation.
  • Decoder Application - The decoder application is a separate program that provides for real-time decoded playback including step-frame for use during QC.
  • Inverse 2:3 Pull-down Processing - The Sony AVC Encoder effectively deals with 29.97fps telecine source material by efficiently recognizing the 2:3 pattern and generating BD-ROM compliant streams and can be manually edited during customization.
