Bluefish 444 Introduces Rage N|Code HD Real-time HD MPEG-2 Encoder at IBC (16/8/2006)

At IBC 2006 Bluefish444 will introduce the Rage N|Code HD, an affordable high quality, real time encoding HD MPEG-2 video compression system for all high def video resolutions.

Based upon the Bluefish444 HD|Fury single link HD/SD SDI I/O card, Bluefish444's Symmetry acquisition, review, and play-out software, and incorporating Aspex's Accelara HD MPEG-Encoder PCI-X card, the new Bluefish444 system offers plug and play acceleration of MPEG-2 encoding inside many popular third party software applications such as Adobe Premiere Pro 2 and Autodesk Cleaner XL.

Unlike fixed function hardware encoders, Bluefish444's offering is fully software programmable, providing the comfort of flexibility, scalability and a future proof upgrade path to additional codecs such as H.264 and Windows Media/VC1.

Applications for this new solution include HD archival for studios and broadcasters, high quality real time compressed HD export from Adobe Premiere Pro, multi channel SD compressed ingest, live streaming applications, post production and digital content creation, and HD-DVD/Blu-Ray authoring.

Bluefish444 will also announce a range of new single link SD uncompressed I/O videographics cards supporting multiple operating systems, and like other Bluefish444 products will support such software applications as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and others.
