Sonic Solutions has announced new versions of their professional Blu-ray products CineVision (encoding) and Scenarist (authoring), both now featuring comprehensive support for Blu-ray 3D encoding and authoring using the MVC (Multi-view Coding) standard.
Features include:
CineVision 3.5:
- Comprehensive MVC (Multi-view Coding) Support - CineVision 3.5 features precise control over every detail of MVC encoding parameters.
- Independent Base and Dependent View Controls CineVision 3.5 enables you to set independent target and maximum bit rate parameters for each stream (Base and Dependent).
- Built-in Blu-ray 3D Format Legalization Version 3.5 ensures every MVC encoding parameter you set is legal for use on Blu-ray 3D titles, leaving you to concentrate on fine tuning your 3D encode without having to worry about format compliance.
- Segment Re-encoding Fine tune your 3D encodes with CineVision's advanced segment encoding toolset, including mutli-take segment management and auditioning.
- New Timeline Display Version 3.5's new timeline provides detailed information - Bit rate, PSNR, and Quantization - for both Base and Dependent streams.
- Integrated 3D Preview and QC CineVision 3.5 features integrated 3D MVC preview, enabling compressionists to review completed encodes on professional 3D video monitors directly from the CineViion timeline (NVIDIA hardware required). You can even QC each stream (left and right eye) in 2D.
- Seamless Integration with Scenaristฎ BD CineVision 3.5 creates Blu-ray 3D legal streams that are compatible with all authoring platforms but has been specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with Scenarist BD to ensure your Blu-ray 3D workflow is fast and efficient.
Scenarist BD 5.5:
- 3D Video and Blu-ray 3D Authoring Support Import 3D video (MVC) streams and author Clips and Playlists containing stereoscopic 3D video assets. Scenarist BD 5.5 also includes support for the latest set of Profile 5 commands required for authoring Blu-ray 3D titles.
- Pop-up Menu Graphics with 3D Depth Offset Author pop-up menus that appear on top of the 3D video presentation with pixel-accurate depth offset (z value). Scenarist allows authors to set a precise offset value for every Interactive Graphic (IG) element.
- 3D Subtitle Support Create Blu-ray 3D titles with 3D subtitles that appear within 3D space. Scenarist supports 3D subtitles and script files from all Blu-ray 3D subtitling programs including Lemony Pro.
- 3D BD-J Support Include highly interactive BD-J applications on your Blu-ray 3D titles including full Profile 5 BD-J in-movie interactivity.
- Sonic Scenarist QC 1.5 A comprehensive Blu-ray 3D emulation solution. Combined with the NVIDIA 3D vision kit, Scenarist QC provides a fully configurable 3D emulation environment that saves facilities time and money by removing the need to burn projects to BD-R/BD-RE.
