StreamZ standard definition media
encoding servers deliver high-performance multi-format video capture
and encoding from live sources or decks, transcoding between media
formats and live streaming in an easy to use, streamlined turnkey
solution that integrates easily into any professional
environment.
SD video in, high-quality digital media out
Combining the performance and
quality advantages of hardware based preprocessing with the
flexiblity of software codecs and a powerful yet intuitive user
interface, StreamZ scalable professional encoders are ideal solutions
for today's expanding array of network-based content distribution and
file-based production workflows. From real-time live encoding to
faster-than-real-tine transcoding from existing media files, StreamZ
can dramatically increase your volume and quality of media produced
easily a nd cost-effectively.
StreamZ systems feature advanced video and audio
preprocessing that runs in hardware in real time. Video preprocessing
features include motion adaptive de-interlacing, scaling, filtering
and 2D and 3D noise reduction, enabline optimum quality and the most
efficient use of bandwidth in the compressed result. StreamZ also
offers hardware-based graphic overly and video proc amp controls,
with 7-band parametric EQ and dynamic range compression/expansion
ensuring great-sounding audio. This preprocessing also reduces the
amount of work that the compression engine needs to do, letting you
process more video and audio streams simultaneously.
Multiple formats, one easy workflow
StreamZ servers include the
powerful and intutive Stream software, providing you with a simple
consistent interface with a streamlined workflow. You can encode to
multiple formats, resolutions and bit rates simultaneously in real
time, giving you exceptional productivity while targeting multiple
distribution channels with individually optimized media streams.
StreamZ encoders support advanced compression and file formats
including Windows Media 9, SMPTE VC-1, AVC (H.264), MPEG-4, MPEG-2
and many more. Optional format modules like the Digital Rapids Studio AVC Encoder delivery output optimized for the stringent requirements of advanced applications such as VOD and IPTV. Video and audio preprocessing settings, proc amp
controls, gamma correction, cropping and more can be interactively
adjusted. Output options include live streaming, archive files (which
can be automatically referenced by an HTML file) and more. Popular
Windows Media DRM license providers are supported. The parameters
associated with each encoding session can be saved in part or in
whole, letting you create an entire project or reuse portions within
other jobs. Your productivity is increased with less effort and the
cost of training is minimized.
Automation for broadcast, production, IPTV and
the enterprise
The StreamEnterprise software
included with StreamZ 'XS' models includes powerful workflow
integration and automation tools including RS422 device control, VBI
capture with Closed Caption support, GPI triggers, e-mail
notification, automated FTP delivery, direct DVD output and XML-based
project files. For particularly complex simultaneous encodes, Batch
Encoding mode lest you ingest once in real time and automatically
transcode to multiple formats. Keywork shortcuts (tags) automate
data, metadata and filename entry. Watch folders can be combined with
powerful template-based publishing to empower your content creators,
enabling them to automatically encode and publish to your web site,
intranet or FTP server by simply dropping their finished content into
your watch folder. External scripting lets you extend StreamZ
functionality and customize how it works in your environment.
Java-based, platform independent remote control provides access to
StreamZ over your network, while our optional Digital Rapids Broadcast Manager software application provides management and
control of multiple systems for live streaming on an enterprise scale.
