Digital Rapids offers two accelerator cards: Tarari CPX 6140 and the Aspex Accelera 3000.

Tarari CPX 6140
The Tarari Encoder Accelerator dramatically accelerates encoding of high quality Standard Definition and High Definition Windows Media Video (WMV), Microsoft's implementation of SMPTE VC-1.

Faster turnaround with hardware-assisted acceleration from Tarari means film and TV post-production facilities, broadcasters, and IPTV providers can now provide significantly more throughput, maximizing the return on encoding resources, and while cutting costs.

Microsoft's superior Windows Media Video compression technology has made PC HD video possible, now Windows Media encoding powered by Tarari makes it practical.

Tarari is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner. They work directly with Microsoft in Redmond to implement algorithms from the Microsoft Windows Media Codec in Tarari's re-configurable silicon. This partnership safeguards your investment in Tarari technology and ensures the Tarari Encoder Accelerator will maintain compliance with Microsoft's Windows Media/VC-1 codecs.
Tarari's hardware version of the highest quality Microsoft video encoding algorithms ensures you always get the highest quality encoded video output - at accelerated encoding speeds.
Since Tarari's technology is designed to perform compute-intensive functions such as motion estimation much faster than general-purpose CPUs, encoding is faster. By offloading algorithms which take the most CPU cycles, Tarari technology frees the CPU for other tasks resulting in increased overall system productivity.
The Tarari Encoder Accelerator provides improved encoding efficiency when encoding multiple video streams using a single Tarari Encoder Accelerator board.
The Tarari Encoder Accelerator provides seamless acceleration for WMV/VC-1 encoding applications based on the Microsoft Windows Media Format SDK - without the need for any special scripting or "digital glue". Simply install the Tarari Encoder Accelerator and the encoding process will be faster.

Aspex Accelera 3000
The Accelera 3000 Advanced Video Encoder (AVE) from Aspex Semiconductor is an optional plug-in board for StreamZHD and StreamZ encoding systems and Digital Rapids XCoder transcoding nodes that accelerates MPEG-2 HD and SD video encoding and transcoding with the MainConcept codec. Particularly advantageous for the encoding and transcoding demands of high definition content, the addition of the Accelera AVE to StreamZHD systems also provides the ultimate combination of real-time

Significantly accelerates transcoding to MPEG-2 from other digital media formats - more than 2x faster than real time depending on frame formats and settings (high quality settings benefit most from acceleration)

Increases simultaneous encoding abilities by taking most intensive part of MPEG-2 encoding load off system CPUs, further boosting productivity

Enables real-time live MPEG-2 encoding of HD content up to 1920x1080@30fps on systems with dual Xeon 3.6 processors, and higher quality settings for real-time live encoding on systems that can already encode 1920x1080@30fps (such as systems with two or more dual-core Xeon processors)
Enables higher quality settings and more concurrent MPEG-2 encodes (two concurrent at maximum quality level, four concurrent at default DVD encoding settings (for real-time live SD encoding with standard StreamZ configuration
Use of two Accelera AVE boards in a system provides further acceleration
Works transparently in the background - no operational changes to how you use the Stream Software
