The hardest thing to get right with MPEG encoding is sync. The second hardest is maintaining good quality when encoding at low bitrates. In our ten years as MPEG experts, we know that many encoders fail these tests.

VKube Post-200 systems incorporate the Optibase MovieMaker 200S Xpress MPEG-1/MPEG-2 capture card. The VKube Post-200 is a great choice for post production facilities that want Optibase quality, real-time capture to both MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, and Sony deck control.

• capture in real-time to MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 from tape or camera sources
• video pass-thru for external source monitoring
• optimized for MPEG capture with built-in video pre-processing
• controls for color correction and audio gain
• produce the best audio/video sync in the industry, even with long encodes
• encoding at bitrates to 6 Mbps
• Sony deck control included

The VKube system is designed for maximum PC compatibility. Choose our base Post configuration or modify it as desired. You can even install a video card to add dual monitor support!

Add editing software or any other programs you need at any time. Anything that will run on a standard PC will run on a VKube!
