Professional Realtime MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 encoding and decoding
MVRD2200V stands alone as a professional high-quality MPEG-1and MPEG-2
encoder with the ability to filter, stabilize and enhance analog source video prior
to MPEG encoding. MVRD2200V's powerful pre-filtering features include
advanced 3D Y/C separation to reduce color noise and improve image quality,
3D digital noise reduction to eliminate noise in the analog video signal, a line
time base corrector (LTBC) to correct any video images that jitter, as well as
digital frame synchronization and auto gain controls.

MVRD2200V is the successor to Canopus 's Amber board and features
additional analog video signal filtering, cleaning and stabilization technology.
Supporting realtime, hardware-based MPEG encoding and software-based
MPEG decoding, MVRD2200V also includes an updated SDK, providing full
board function control and backwards-compatibility for Amber and MediaEdge
SDK-based applications.

MVRD2200V supports both Main Profile at Main Level (MP@ML) MPEG-2 and
I-frame-only encoding. When using MP@ML, the MVRD2200V 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, MVRD2200V's variable bitrate 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,
MVRD2200V is scalable up to full-D1 resolution with
NTSC and PAL format support.

The software utilities included with MVRD2200V are 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.

MVRD2200V's software also features an Adobe? Premiere? Pro 1.5 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 MVRD2200V's predecessor, Amber, have
included recording of medical procedures and security camera surveillance.

The realtime analog-to-MPEG capture capability of MVRD2200V also makes it an ideal
companion to Canopus 's MediaEdge solution. When combined with MediaEdge,
a LAN-based client / server video distribution system, MVRD2200V provides realtime
MPEG encoding and live stream network broadcast of high-quality MPEG-2 video
