“The Optibase streaming platform opened a window of opportunities. Using the MGW 2000e we are able to deliver two live channels at broadcast quality, without having to lease two satellite links. The savings is substantial and the quality is uncompromised. We have searched long and hard for such a platform and Optibase provided an unparalleled cost- performance solution.” Efi Dilmoni, vice president of technologies, Channel 10.

MovieMaker HD - MPEG 2 HD Encoder

The MovieMaker HD is an MPEG-2 hardware-based, broadcast-quality PCI encoder. It supports both HD and SD resolutions, comes with a comprehensive encoding application or a full-featured SDK, and offers instant feedback with decode while encoding.

Using MPEG Composer, Optibase's encoding application, you can create professional HD content for video on demand (VOD), broadcasting and digital signage. The powerful SDK gives you all you need to develop unique applications such as ingest solutions, high-resolution military simulations/sureveillance or the ability to review medical procedures.

Packing Powerful HD Processing

The MovieMaker HD hardware-based encoder supports both high definition and standard definition video input, with MPEG-2 HD compression support at up to 150Mbps. Using AES3 inputs, it provides up to 2 stereo pairs of Dolby Digital ™ stereo, MPEG-1 L2, Dolby 5.1 pass-through and PCM audio. The board is designed to take input from a number of sources and drop the created files to a host as either compressed or uncompressed data.

Easy to use Encoding Application

For ease of use and full control over encoding, the MovieMaker HD comes bundled with the MPEG Composer, Optibase’s encoding management application, that includes integrated device control, parameter setting, and encode-status monitoring. Users can start creating content immediately for any type of application, including: ingest, DVD creation, VOD upload or show dailies.

Developer Tools and Services

The MovieMaker HD is ideal for vendors and integrators who are interested in building HD video servers and applications for broadcasting, video-on-demand (VOD), ad insertion, program initiation, high-resolution military simulation or surveillance products and projects. To facilitate the development and customization of HD solutions, the MovieMaker HD comes with an extensive, well-known software developer toolkit (SDK). Optibase’s Professional Services team is available for the development and customization of any project.
