Besides standardisation and data compatibility, the essential advantage of
MPEG-2 is a highly efficient compression method that affects respective
groups of pictures (GOP) of the original material when generating the digital
data stream. Equipped with SmartGOP technology, the miroVIDEO
DC1000 can edit MPEG-2 videos frame-by-frame even within the
compressed groups of pictures.
What makes this product special, however, is its incorporation of classic
post-production in real time in other words, without time-consuming
software rendering. A real-time effects mixer outputs entire productions or
creative ideas to the video monitor in full quality as soon as they have been
arranged.
The combination of MPEG-2 hardware codec and real-time effects mixer
marks the advent of dual-stream technology on standard desktop
computers. No comparable video editing system offers more productivity,
since processing is visible instantly in full-quality video. In addition, videos
can be processed for digital data media such as DVD.
The DC1000DV processes analogue (S-Video, CVBS) and
digital (DV, IEEE-1394) signals via corresponding inputs and
outputs in real time.
With its outstanding features, the DC1000DV sets new standards
for quality, compatibility, and productivity.
Files are saved either in AVI format or, for compatibility with other MPEG-2
systems, as separate streams (e.g. video elementary and audio PCM).
Optionally, the IBP compression method can also be used. This material is
suitable for use in the Internet or for subsequent processing with DVD
authoring software.
The I-frame myth: It has been published that I-frame is the only MPEG-2 video compression format that can be edited frame accurately. This is not true. I-frame offers no advantage for accuracy with today's technology. Though fully compatible with I-Frame for open systems support, Pinnacle Systems DC1000 and DVD1000 use a patented SmartGOP technology thatallows 100% frame accurate editing of the IPP format they use to capture video.
SmartGOP is the prerequisite for the ability to use MPEG-2 videos with IP
encoding and low data rates for non-linear video editing. Click here for a more detailed explanation of how SmartGOP / IPP editing works!
TitleDeko always creates titles in the same resolution setting
as the Premiere setting. Titles never have to be recompressed
which means they are always crisp on the edges and the soft
edges stay soft.
The Pinnacle Systems DC1000 continues this tradition of videotape delivery as well as providing a clear path for new forms of digital video delivery such as CD-ROM, DVD, and Internet video
(i-video).
Producing video projects for videotape delivery is faster and more cost effective with the DC1000 than ever before. Through the use of state-of-the-art MPEG-2 digital video storage and dual stream editing capabilities, the DC1000 provides high-end tools to anyone who wants to use the power of video for delivering their message.
Types of MPEG-2 video- I-Frame, IPP, IBP
IBP are best used for DVD authoring, CD-ROM multimedia video creation, and continuous
playback from video servers where their high quality and very low data rates are a perfect fit.
Demands twice the hard disk space and bandwidth than IPP for the same
quality results.
100% frame accurate when edited with Pinnacle Systems SmartGOP technology.
Post production of DVD authoring, CR-ROM video, and Internet video content.

Key Benefits Of MPEG-2 Video Disks
The Pinnacle Systems DC1000 And Videotape Production
Videotape has traditionally been the preferred medium to deliver video to audiences. Whether the production is entertainment, special events, or corporate productions, the VHS tape has been and remains the most widely accepted and viable format for delivery.Three Easy Steps To Videotape Production On The DC1000
The DC1000 digitizes or "captures" video footage from the video source through the analog or DV (optional) inputs. This footage is stored to the computer's hard disk as an MPEG-2 AVI stream. This MPEG-2 stream provides broadcast video quality at data rates that are 50% or less than the traditional storage requirements of traditional MJPEG digital video systems.
The DC1000 ships with the popular Adobe Premiere 6 software for editing your video clips into a finished production with effects, transitions, audio tracks, and graphics. Premiere 6 takes advantage of the DC1000's dual stream technology to provide real time effects, titles and filters, saving you valuable production time by eliminating rendering on these items. With miroINSTANT Video rendering is further reduced and playback from the timeline is possible without time consuming exports.
When your video project is complete you can record it directly to tape from the timeline through the analog and DV (optional) audio and video outputs. The project can be recorded to tape to produce a high-quality master tape, which can be delivered to the client or to a duplication house.DC1000DV For Videotape Production Main Points
Why to edit with IPP and deliver with IBP
MPEG-2 video has gained considerable attention for its reputation of storing digital video of very
high quality at considerably low data rates. This is accomplished through a technological
innovation in digital video compression that looks at full frames and partial frames of video data to
produce full bandwidth signals. MPEG-2 video efficiency has created such innovations as digital
video streaming, CD-ROM video distribution and DVD.
When working with MPEG-2 video there are basically three forms of compression that can be
used. These are I frame only, IPP, and IBP.
I-Frame only MPEG-2 is older MPEG-2 technology that does not take advantage of true MPEG-2 efficient compression techniques. For every frame of video from the source material a frame of compressed video is created and stored on the
hard disk. This is known as "intra" frame compression where every frame is basically the same size. It is similar to
the older M-JPEG format in its high data rate and large hard disk storage requirements for storing high quality video.
The I-frame myth: It has been published that I-frame is the only MPEG-2 video compression format that can be edited frame accurately. This is not true. I-frame offers no advantage for accuracy with today's technology. Though fully compatible with I-Frame for open systems support, Pinnacle Systems DC1000 and DVD1000 use a patented SmartGOP technology that
allows 100% frame accurate editing of the IPP format they use to capture video.
IPP MPEG-2 video delivers a true data rate advantage for high quality digital video and storage. IPP is made up of a set of frames or "group of pictures" (GOP). The GOP consists of one I frame and is followed by a series of predictive or "P" frames. The P frames are the secret to the low data rate. Each P frame stores only that part of the video frame that has changed
from the previous frame. This allows broadcast video quality at data rates 50% more efficient than I-Frame only making is the
best MPEG-2 format for professional video editing.
The video captured and edited on the DC1000 and the DVD1000 is full bandwidth 4:2:2 YUV true
color ITU.R 601 specification for broadcast quality.
IBP MPEG-2 video is the preferred format for video streaming. It is an even more highly compressed format of MPEG-2 that consists of very long GOPs made up of I frames, P frames and complex Backwards looking frames known as "B" frames.
B frames fill in frame spaces between I frames and P frames by looking backwards from the P frame to the I frame. This format can not be edited frame accurately easily and would take so long to decode for editing that it would be an
unsatisfactory post-production experience.The Pinnacle Systems DC1000 and DVD1000 export completed IPP video editing projects to IBP
streams for use in the built-in CD-ROM and DVD authoring software. This provides the best use
of next generation MPEG-2 technology and it’s quality per megabyte advantages.
