IBC 2005 (September 9, 2005) – Canopus, leaders in the
digital video codec, encoding and production arena, is

process, even when there are multiple CPUs available,” said
Hiro Yamada, founder and chairman of the board at Canopus.
“Optimized for the very latest dual-core CPU systems, the
EDIUS Speed Encoder for HDV sets new standards for HDV file
encoding.”

Canopus
Previews New HD Codec Technology at IBC That Delivers 1920 x
1080i Resolution
Amsterdam,
IBC 2005 (September 9, 2005) – This week at IBC Canopus,
leaders in the digital video codec, encoding and production
arena, will preview the Canopus HQ+ codec, the third
software codec option in the company’s codec collection for
EDIUS Pro 3. The Canopus HQ+ codec is scalable up to 1920 x
1080i resolution and is specifically aimed at
quality-critical applications, such as compositing and 3D
animation.
The
Canopus HQ+ codec uses 4:2:2 color sampling to attain 1920
luma samples and 960 chroma samples per line for a full 1920
x 1080 interlaced frame that provides quality comparable to
uncompressed HD, but at about one-fifth the data size. HQ+
codec also maintains picture sharpness by not scaling the
image, making it perfect for detailed oriented,
high-contrast work such as compositing.
“The
unique way the Canopus HQ+ codec processes HD video provides
users with picture quality that compares to uncompressed HD,
yet requires considerably less bandwidth,” said Hiro Yamada,
founder and chairman of the board of Canopus. “This savings
in disk space makes HD production more efficient and
stable.”
The
Canopus HQ+ software codec will be available in EDIUS Pro 3
fourth quarter 2005. For more information, visit the
company’s Web site at www.canopus.com.
