MegaPEG HDTV includes an integrated picture quality analysis (PQA) tool with the same features as Digigami MPressionist Pro HD. Any HD encoding job can be paused and the intermediate compression results analyzed to ensure that the stream meets quality expectations. MegaPEG HDTV is best suited for HD production scenarios where files are encoded once and then played repeatedly. Such applications typically the highest quality, differing from real-time encoding scenarios where the source material passes through the encoder for a single broadcast. This includes DTV ad-insertion systems, HD kiosk applications, and closed-circuit HD TV networks such as those increasingly found in museums, theme parks, airports and five-star luxury hotels. MegaPEG HDTV is a single pass MPEG encoder featuring a floating point video pre-processing pipeline which supports both constant (CBR) and variable bitrate (VBR) operation. Tradeoffs between compression time and picture quality (encoding accuracy) are available in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) which utilizes an eleven-position slider which configures the encoder. For advanced operators, all aspects of the encoding are available for configuration, including the specification of MPEG-2 features such as Intra-DC precision, custom GOP patterns and custom DCT quantization matrices. Users can compress source video format or codec to any target format supported by the encoder, which currently supports all the major applications of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 from Whitebook VideoCD to ATSC HDTV at 1920x1080i. Even if your primary delivery format is 1080i, you can easily create Web versions or support foreign formats from the same master/source.. The format conversion features have been included in MegaPEG.X since version 2.0. The new 3.0 version of Digigami "MegaPEG HDTV" is available for $795 USD MSRP. Registered users of previous versions of MegaPEG are eligible for substantial upgrade discounts. Site licenses, educational, and volume discounts are available. www.digigami.com/megapeg/
