Sonic sent out a press release
this morning, announcing CineVision 2.5. This upgrade to their professional encoding solution features expanded high-def image controls
and an SD version for DVD-Video production.
Sonic Solutions (NASDAQ: SNIC), the leader in digital media software, today
unveiled CineVision 2.5, a significant upgrade to the company's Hollywood-standard high-definition encoding platform. The only encoder
to support AVC, VC-1, and MPEG-2 stream creation in one system, CineVision Version 2.5 was developed based on direct feedback from
leading Hollywood image-quality experts. The latest version introduces an impressive list of powerful technical enhancements including an
expanded image processing filter-set from Emmy-award winning tools provider Digital Vision, extensive adaptive-quantization controls, an
accelerated first-pass encoding mode that reduces encoding times by as much as 25%, and greater parameter accessibility for segment
re-encoding. Also new with CineVision 2.5 is the debut of CineVision SD which offers powerful image control for encoding standard
definition MPEG-2 for the DVD-Video format.
While CineVision 2.5 won't be available until later this month, Sonic will
be demonstrating it this week at IBC. More information can be found here.
