Create Portable and DVD-ready Video - Blazingly Fast!
Engineered with hardware-based MPEG encoding technology, and designed with a PCI Express form factor, FireCoder generates MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 files at blistering, faster-than-realtime speeds. FireCoder is as versatile, as it is speedy! Use FireCoder to: * Capture video from DV and HDV cameras * Edit MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, including native HDV * Author and burn DVDs * Convert video into files compatible with Apple iPod® and Sony PSP™ * Export video projects from Grass Valley EDIUS and Adobe® Premiere® Pro 1.x NLE software The hardware-software combination featured in the FireCoder package provides a variety of ways to help you reduce the time it takes you to prepare your video. [more...] Powered by Hardware, Driven by Software Even with today's high-speed PCs, the time you spend waiting for your video projects to encode to MPEG format for DVDs or portable media devices can still stretch out to unbearable lengths. Instead of relying solely on the PC's CPU (as do software-only video editing, DVD authoring and format conversion products), the onboard MPEG encoding chip engineered into the FireCoder PCI Express board handles the tough encoding tasks. The advantages of FireCoder are two-fold: * Speed - Create MPEG-2 files for DVDs and MPEG-4 files for portable media devices much faster - often more than twice the speed of realtime in most cases * Productivity - Free up your CPU for other work, while your video is being encoded. top FireCoder: Key Features * MPEG-2/MPEG-4 encoding hardware technology, incorporated into a high-speed PCI Express design * Faster-than-realtime MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 video file creation * IEEE 1394 OHCI FireWire input for DV and HDV capture * Cut, stitch and trim MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and HDV video * Video format conversion software, supporting Windows Media®, DivX®, DV, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and more * DVD authoring, "Watch" folder and batch conversion support * Timeline export plug-ins for Grass Valley EDIUS, Adobe Premiere 6.5 and Adobe Premiere Pro 1.x top FireCoder: Specifications Package Contents: * FireCoder PCI Express bus card * Installation CD-ROM (Device drivers, MPEG applications) * User Manuals top Technical Specifications (Hardware): Video Input * 1 x 6-pin IEEE 1394 FireWire * 2 x 4-pin IEEE 1394 FireWire (for internal connection) Video Resolutions * MPEG-2: 720x480, 720x576, 704x480, 640x480, 480x480, 352x480, 352x576, 352x240, 352x288, 320x480, 320x240, 176x120 * MPEG-4: 720x480, 720x576, 704x480, 640x480, 480x480, 352x480, 352x576, 352x240, 320x240, 176x120 Video Frame Rate * MPEG-2: 29.97fps (NTSC), 25fps (PAL) * MPEG-4: 15fps (NTSC), 30fps (NTSC), 25fps (PAL) Video Compression * MPEG-2: (ISO/IEC 13818-2) Main Profile @ Main Level (I, B, P frames) I-frame support only * MPEG-4: (ISO/IEC 14496-14) Video Bitrate * MPEG-2: 128kbps - 15Mbps * MPEG-4: 32kbps - 8Mbps * Variable (one-pass) and Constant Bitrate support Audio Sampling Rates * MPEG-2: 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz * MPEG-4: 24kHz, 48kHz Audio Compression * MPEG-2: MPEG-1 Layer 2 * MPEG-4: AAC Audio Bitrates * MPEG-2: 96 to 384kbps * MPEG-4: 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 144, 182, 224, 256, 288kbps |

Column Explanation ![]() New comments= New comments since your last visit. New Card= New Capture Card since your last vist. Feature What kind of main capture features it supports Analog VideoIn = Analog composite or/and SVHS video input Video Card = If it is a Video Card/Graphic Card Tv Tuner = Built-In TV-Tuner Digital TV = Built-In Digital TV-Tuner DV/Firewire = DV/Firewire/i.Link input DV Converter = Analog composite or/and SVHS video input and converts to DV video MPEG1 hardware = Capture directly MPEG1(VCD) video using hardware* MPEG2 hardware = Capture directly MPEG2(SVCD and DVD) video using hardware* MJPEG hardware = Capture directly to MJPEG using hardware* MPEG4 hardware = Capture directly to MPEG4(DivX,Xvid) video using hardware* * = Most capture cards can capture to this format using software but it usually requires a very fast computer, if it supports realtime capturing it uses the capture cards hardware and it doesn't require a very fast computer and you may get better quality but less options/settings than software capturing. Compatibility What Operating System our users have reported that it works on, Win95=Works Cnx = Connection What type of connection the capture device has to the computer, PCI, AGP, USB1/1.1/2, DV or PCMCIA. Price The price in US dollar. Rating The first rating is based on a weighted rank (the true Bayesian), it requires at least 5 votes to get a weighted rating. The second rating between the ( ) is a normal average rating. Comment User comments, click on view to view them or add to post a own comment. |
