News a Safe Harbor blog Sorenson Media Announces Immediate Availability of Sorenson SqueezeHD XCEL 0 Posted by Safe Harbor Staff July 25, 2006 If you enjoy this post, please share it! Sorenson Media®, the global leader in video compression technology, has announced the immediate availability of Sorenson SqueezeHD XCEL™, a new PCI-X accelerator platform/plug-in board based on innovative, fully software-definable technology. The Sorenson SqueezeHD XCEL encoding solution is a PC plug-in board that dramatically accelerates key processor-intensive encoding tasks such as motion estimation and image transforms. Using four highly parallel processors that total more than 16,000 parallel computing elements, Sorenson SqueezeHD XCEL can encode MPEG-2 1920x1080 content at 30 frames per second on a properly configured system. Lower resolutions can achieve faster than real-time performance. "We developed Sorenson SqueezeHD XCEL to empower our customers to quickly encode significant quantities of high definition content, while enjoying the industry-standard quality and simplicity of Sorenson Squeeze," said Matt Cupal, president of Sorenson Media. "The resulting solution combines blazing-fast encoding speed, quality and ease of use to meet the needs of the most demanding video professionals." Sorenson SqueezeHD XCEL hardware accelerates all the MPEG-2 encoding options found in Sorenson Squeeze, including resolutions (SD & HD) up to 1920 x 1080, and works effectively alongside video capture cards from multiple vendors to provide effective capture and encoding in a single system. Sorenson SqueezeHD XCEL is fully software programmable, and contains a built-in roadmap to other HD formats as they become available. For example, planned future Sorenson SqueezeHD XCEL codecs include H.264/AVC, JPEG-2000 and Windows Media/VC1. Sorenson SqueezeHD XCEL also includes all of the features of Sorenson Squeeze PowerPack. Retailing at $599, this solution includes features such as batch mode encoding, multiple format support, Web video output, watch folders, command line control and more. 0 responses to "Sorenson Media Announces Immediate Availability of Sorenson SqueezeHD XCEL" Leave a comment You can use select BBCode tags to format your thoughts including: [b], [i], [s], [u], [url], [quote] and [code].
