C-Cube's revolutionary new DVx architecture is the industry's first single-chip MPEG-2 solution capable of simultaneously decoding two compressed video compressed video - video compression streams, presenting MPEG-2 as a powerful format for non-linear editing. Until now, MPEG-2 technology was too cost-prohibitive and difficult to control for editing applications. DVx makes high-quality MPEG-2-based non-linear editing feasible for the first time by combining frame-accurate MPEG-2 encode and decode functions in a single, cost-effective device. DVx also decreases the overall cost of editing by providing the superior storage efficiency of MPEG-2 and integrating video effects See digital video effects. processing functions that today can only be achieved with the use of costly external hardware. "We now see the benefits of MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group) An ISO/ITU standard for compressing digital video. Pronounced "em-peg," it is the universal standard for digital terrestrial, cable and satellite TV, DVDs and digital video recorders (DVRs). digital video extending into new markets," said Alex Daly, vice president of marketing for C-Cube Microsystems. "MPEG-based non-linear editing delivers very high quality at much higher compression ratios, while allowing end-to-end interoperability. We are pleased to be the first to demonstrate this exciting new capability." Location at IBC C-Cube will be demonstrating its dual-stream decoding technology at the RAI rai n.
