Canopus MVR D2200

Canopus MVR D2200 ... decoding, MVRD2200 also includes an updated SDK, providing full board function control and backwards SDK compatibility for Amber and MediaEdge applications.

MVRD2200 supports both Main Profile at Main Level (MP@ML) MPEG-2 and I-frame-only encoding. When using MP@ML, the MVRD2200 delivers the high-quality video and audio MPEG-2 output required by today's video professionals. MP@ML features true IBP frame format, which provides the highest-quality video at the lowest bandwidth. In addition, MVRD2200's variable bit rate capability (from 1Mbps to 15Mbps) is one of the most effective techniques used to maintain video quality while reducing file size. With composite and S-Video inputs, MVRD2200 is scalable up to full-D1 resolution with NTSC and PAL format support.

Software utilities included with MVRD2200 include MPEG Station capture and playback application, and a DV AVI-to-MPEG file conversion utility. MPEG Station provides full resolution overlay for previewing footage during capture and features a detailed selection of encoding quality settings for users to adjust to meet their requirements.

MVRD2200's software also features an Adobe Premiere timeline export plug-in for fast, high-quality encoding directly from the timeline and an SDK for program developers to create custom software that may utilize the hardware for a specific task. Applications developed in the past with the MVRD2200's predecessor, Amber, have included recording of medical procedures and security camera surveillance.

The realtime analog-to-MPEG capture capability of MVRD2200 also makes it an ideal companion to Canopus 's MediaEdge. When combined with MediaEdge, a LAN-based client / server video distribution system, MVRD2200 provides realtime MPEG encoding and live stream network broadcast of high-quality MPEG-2 video.
