QuVIS Unveils Real-time JPEG2000 Mastering Options for the QuVIS Acuity

The QuVIS Acuity now offers real-time digital video mastering capabilities never before seen on a single server, providing workflow solutions that directly increase HD and Digital Cinema content production efficiencies and profitability.

Long considered the standard for wavelet encoding, the Acuity now features 16-channel audio mastering support and eight new real-time processing options, including: Real-time JPEG2000 HD/2D Encoding, Real-time JPEG2000 3D Encoding, Real-time 2D 4:2:2 to 4:4:4 Conversion, Real-time Input Colorspace Conversion, Real-time Output Colorspace Conversion, Real-time Content Encryption, Real-time Timeline Editing and Preview, and Real-time QuVIS TitleMaster server-based digital cinema subtitle rendering.

Real-time JPEG2000 HD/2K Encoding – the ability to record a live HD and 2K video stream using quality-driven DCI JPEG2000 encoding in real-time. The quality priority wavelet-encoding principals employed in QuVIS’ QPE encoding format have been applied to the real-time JPEG2000 encoding process. This patented process guarantees a higher image quality and delivers data compression efficiencies that are significantly better than other JPEG2000 mastering systems. This results in a smaller DCP at a higher image quality.

Real-time JPEG2000 3D Encoding – the ability to record two live 2K (4:2:2) video streams as a single 4:4:4 track using quality-driven DCI JPEG2000 encoding in real-time.

Real-time 2D 4:2:2-to-4:4:4 Conversion – the ability to convert an HD or 2K 4:2:2 video stream to 4:4:4 during real-time JPEG2000 encoding.

Real-time Input Colorspace Conversion – the ability to convert a YUV or RGB input colorspace to Digital Cinema XYZ during real-time JPEG2000 encoding.

Real-time Output Colorspace Conversion – the ability to define the output colorspace to be used during playback.

Real-time Content Encryption – the ability to apply DCI AES encryption to content during the real-time JPEG2000 encoding process.

Real-time Timeline Editing and Preview – the ability to graphically edit and control preview of the individual assets of a 2K or 4K composition timeline from the front panel VTP Editor interface.

Real-time QuVIS TitleMaster – this optional subtitle-rendering engine provides the ability to display composition subtitles during the mastering process without a specialized Digital Cinema projector.

The QuVIS Acuity provides the most advanced mastering capabilities, including: support for Standard Definition (SD), High Definition (HD), 2K and 4K formats in the most comprehensive variety of quality-driven encoding levels, color sampling, frame rates, color spaces, and scanning options available today.
