Native AVC-Intra and QuickTime support for MOG's MXFSpeedrail

MOG Technologies announces native support for AVC-Intra codec and QuickTime file format for its MXFSpeedrail series. It will allow you to record all video input channels (cameras, satellites, VTR) in AVC-Intra format in real time, with immediate availability of the files for editing.

To enhance the flexibility of its MXFSpeedrail family of solutions and enable seamless cross-platform editing while maintaining maximum video quality with AVC-Intra, MOG Technologies today announced support for this codec as well as Quicktime.

The S1000 and F1000 systems will now offer the ability to record and ingest HD material encoded with the high-performance AVC-Intra video codec and QuickTime file format. This will allow the MXFSpeedrail to provide real-time editing while recording and ingesting SD or HD signals using applications such as Final Cut Pro or Avid.

Simultaneous ingestion and editing

Thanks to the native support of the AVC-Intra codec, the MXFSpeedrail S1000 will allow you to record all video input channels (cameras, satellites, VTR) in AVC-Intra format in real time, with immediate availability of the files for editing in several streams, either in Final Cut Pro or in Avid editing rooms. AVC-Intra is a video codec developed by Panasonic that is fully compatible with the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC standard and also follows the SMPTE RP 2027-2007 specifications.

AVC-Intra is intended to meet the needs of video professionals who want to store high quality digital video in high definition on digital storage for ingest, editing and archiving. This is 10-bit intra-frame compression in two modes: AVC-Intra 100 with full quality and AVC-Intra 50 for DVCPRO HD with comparable quality at half the bit rate to save storage space.

Of note, the F1000 will now be able to ingest material directly from P2 cards making it available for editing as soon as file transfer is started. MXFSpeedrail also allows recording of files such as .mov, in addition to the existing MXF OP1A and Avid OPAtom.

MOG Technologies technology allows encoding and ingesting a wide variety of video formats including: DVCPRO (25 and 50 Mbps), DVCPRO HD (100 Mbps), XDCAM-IMX (30, 40, 50 Mbps),
