Sirius Pixels HDe AVC Encoder

Sirius Pixels HDe is an H.264/AVC encoder designed for creating Blu-ray video.

A number of unique features are adopted in order to achieve high picture quality as well as high encoding speed, and to improve operations efficiency.

  • Native Ingest of the Apple ProRes family of codecs.
  • A highly optimized software based encoder utilizing the new Intel Sandy Bridge microarchitecture with Hyper-Threading for a total of 24 logical cores and 48 threads, enabling over 2× faster than real-time encoding. It supports the new Intel AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions) instruction set, replacing the former Intel SSE (Streaming SIMD Extension) set to achieve higher performance and throughput.
  • Exploits the advantage of multithreading technology by running a number of program segments in parallel, such as processing filters and motion detection in advance of the encoding process.
  • Uses hi-bit processing to internally generate and process data at 4:2:0 10-bit or better, and 14-bit filter processing.

Built for Blu-ray Mastering

Blu-ray H.264/AVC

Purpose-built for creating Blu-ray video with unique features for high picture quality, fast encoding, and efficient day-to-day operation.

Native ProRes Ingest

Native ingest of the Apple ProRes family of codecs.

Sandy Bridge & AVX

Highly optimized for Intel Sandy Bridge with Hyper-Threading — up to 24 logical cores and 48 threads — delivering over 2× faster than real-time encoding with Intel AVX.

Multithreading

Runs filter processing and motion detection in parallel ahead of the encode for maximum throughput.

Hi-Bit Processing

Internally generates and processes data at 4:2:0 10-bit or better, with 14-bit filter processing.
