chases, explosions and cherished memories ­ just a few of the reasons video professionals choose ProCoder for the highestquality video conversion and repurposing needs. In a production environment, ProCoder 2.0 performs video magic by providing important automation tools, such as watch folders, batch processing and simultaneous output, while still providing powerful customization and filter features. Output an AVI animation from a 3D application, convert it to QuickTime DV for editing in Final Cut Pro, then convert the output to NTSC and PAL MPEG-2 for DVD authoring and distribution worldwide ­ ProCoder is there between every step of the process to ensure video quality is preserved for archiving, broadcast and any other video application imaginable. In a multi-format digital world, ProCoder bridges the gaps between formats quickly and easily. Thank you for purchasing ProCoder. We hope you find ProCoder's powerful features and easy-to-use interface helpful in your daily workflow. Questions If you have any questions, comments or suggestions about ProCoder, please let us know. In the unlikely event that you have difficulty using or installing ProCoder, please refer to the rest of this manual. If you still have trouble or would rather speak to a real person, Canopus Technical Support staff are ready to assist you during normal support hours. You can contact them via telephone at (408) 954-4506 on the Support section Canopus Web site at www.canopus.com. 1: Introduction Key Features Whether you're encoding MPEG for DVD production or a Windows Media Video for Web streaming, ProCoder makes conversion from one video format to another quick and easy. Featuring Canopus's highly optimized DV and MPEG codec technologies, ProCoder provides highquality output without the long wait and guesswork of similar tools. Speed without Limits Utilizing the full power of modern computer systems through Canopus's Scalable Technology architecture, ProCoder's conversion speed increases with the power of your system. In some cases, ProCoder can transcode files faster than realtime, beating out costly hardware encoders. 2 Chapter 1: Introduction Produce, Perfect, Process To simplify your workflow, ProCoder provides some powerful manipulation tools to get your sources ready for conversion. Stitching allows you to link multiple sources together to create a single seamless result, preventing you from having to combine the sources in an editor. Source filters provide useful enhancement tools, such as bitmap overlay, cropping and volume adjustment, to ensure perfect input before encoding, while target filters give you the flexibility to make specific adjustments for particular output formats. Multiple Outputs from Single Source Encode a single source to multiple targets simultaneously, run multiple conversion jobs back-to-back in batch mode, or use ProCoder's dragand-drop preset icons to start conversion with a single click. ProCoder provides the streamlined workflow to convert once and create all the output formats you need. High-quality Codec technologies ProCoder includes Canopus's high-quality, high-speed, proprietary DV and MPEG-2 codec technologies. Canopus's DV codec provides the best picture quality preservation at the highest speed, reducing the impact of multiple recompressions. Canopus's MPEG-2 codec employs two-pass variable bitrate (VBR) compression and advanced motionestimation algorithms to provide the best possible final output.
