Browse Media Preparation
If you do not have the original programme material in a suitable browse media format, we offer two solutions.
Immedia Encoder
An application for capturing from a real-time video source and create a browse resolution media file. The user can select to encode the file as MPEG, Windows Media or AVI and has an option to burn-in timecode extracted from the video input, or read directly via a dedicated timecode reader card (check with Starfish for recommended cards).
A timecode reference header file is also generated which is very useful in captioning, subtitling and audio description authoring applications.
