CINEMA CRAFT® HD AVC/H.264 encoder (CC-HDe) Ver. 1.14
CINEMA CRAFT® Multi View Coding edition (CC-3De) Ver. 1.14

The latest release is reaffirmation of Custom Technology’s engineering expertise and justifies why their H.264/AVC and Multi View Coding applications top the list of encoders selected by Video Post-Production specialists and technicians, as quality barometers for 2D and 3D Blu-ray encoding.

Custom Technology has just announced Side-by-Side and Stereoscopic encoding capabilities with the release of Ver. 1.13.01 of CINEMA CRAFT(R) MVC encoder (CC_3De), whose sophisticated yet easy-to-use functions achieve excellent encoding results in speeds faster than real-time.

Implementing proprietary algorithms, specialized engineering techniques and capitalizing on the fastest most advanced computer hardware available, they guarantee reliability and unparalleled performance, surpassing previously sustainable speeds and an environment for efficient and cost-effective production:

Augsburg - Germany - Sept 27, 2010 Custom Technology unleashes faster than realtime MVC encoder

Augsburg, Germany (Sept 27, 2010) – Custom Technology (CTC) today announced the launch of their MVC Beta Program for the CINEMA CRAFT® HD encoder (Ver 1.12), unveiled during the IBC 2010 Exhibition held recently in Amsterdam. Codenamed “CC-3De” this upgrade provides MVC (Multiview Video Coding) functionalities to this innovative and highly acclaimed product; trusted by leading Post Production houses world over for its reliability, accuracy and above all - speed.

All functions inherent to the AVC/H.264 encoder have been fully integrated with toolsets specifically tailored for efficient MVC processing. Its GUI (Graphical User Interface) provides Compression Engineers unfettered access to File Property, Bit-budgeting, Encoder Presets, Filters, Quantization settings, plus an array of Quality Control functions and the means to achieve exceptional picture quality, demanded by today’s educated consumer.

"CC-3De encodes 23.976p Stereoscopic streams in near realtime speeds," explained Miguel Clarke of CTC European distribution partners Silicon Philosophies. "It supports all the aspect ratios, frame rates and most important, generates files that are 3D-Spec compliant and compatible with professional authoring tools currently in use." Clarke further elaborated that, "It’s the only product available that can efficiently process the slew of 3D movies scheduled for Blu-ray release through the end of this year."

(Ver. 1.11.01) During the past half century our dependency on speed has turned obsessive, due to social, business and recreational schedules and the need to communicate and compete in expanding global markets. Time is an important factor whether travelling or transporting products via land, sea or air; transmitting by cable, satellite or telephony; producing manually or assembly-line; processing data electronically; competing in Sports or Athletic events; performing Medical, Scientific or Academic activities; bringing manufacturers or businesses closer to consumers; uniting religious groups, family members, students or friends.

Silicon Philosophies announces CINEMA CRAFT® HD encoder (Ver. 1.09) In today’s fast-paced, price-conscious economy, saving time is foremost in reducing production costs and critical to bringing Blu-ray disc, BD-Java, BDLive and BD-Audio products to market on schedule – finally there is a breakthrough. CC-HDe has been optimized to efficiently utilize the processing power and multithreading capabilities of Intel’s Nehalem Processors, doubling previously sustained speeds and revolutionizing H.264/AVC encoding technology.
