Stream Software The Stream Software leads you through the steps of creating multiple encoded formats in just a few steps, and lets your contents with as little as one mouse click. The Stream software is designed to be the easiest to us streaming, webcasting and encoding application available-perfect for the novice and yet powerfully programmable for the expert user. There are three versions of the Stream software-Stream LE (providing all of the core functionality needed for high-quality media encoding, transcoding, streaming and distribution), StreamPro (with expanded workflow automation, integration and transcoding capabilities) and StreamEnterprise adding remote control capabilities and enhanced AVC/H.264 file creation). Stream LE is included with DRC-Stream ingest/encoding hardware bundles, StreamP portable encoding solutions and some models of StreamZ servers, with StreamPro available as a software option. StreamEnterprise is included with StreamZ ("XS models) and StreamZHD servers, and is also available as a sofware option for other configurations. Stream LE: The Stream LE software provides you with an intuitive interface with a streamlined step-by-step workflow. First select the video and audio inputs you will be using (you can encode from a live source, or transcode from existing media files), and the formats you want to encode or transcode to (see sidebar for supported formats). Stream LE includes preset codec profiles for common encodes, and you can create your own reusable profiles. You can perform as many simulstaneous real-time encodes as your system's CPU horsepower will allow. If you want closely manage the encoding process, you can interactively tweak video and audio parameters including proc amp controls, gamma correction, cropping, graphic overlay, de-interlacing, noise reduction and audio controls. Choose your output destination from a variety of options including live streaming, archive files (which can be automatically refenced by an HTML file), or distribution via the optional Copper plug-in for secure, high speed media delivery over the internet or private data networks. Support for popular Windows Media DRM license providers is also fully intergrated. Settings can be saved into a standard XML formatted project file. Whenever you want to encode with these settings, just load your project and hit the start button-easy, one-click encoding. Stream LE is also highly configurable for the expert user. It uses a system of keyword shortcuts (Tags) which you control, shortening the amount of data and metadata entry necessary for each job. Tags can include company and author information, time and date stamps, file info, or anything else you need for your job. Key features and Benefits for Stream LE Easy to use tabbed interface leads you through each step of the capture and encoding process. Codec Profiles let you to create or customize encoding parameters Simultaneous real-time encoding to multiple formats, resolutions and bit rates Interactively adjust video and audio parameters VBI capture with closed caption support (DRC-1000 and higher boards only) Keyword shortcuts (tags) allow you to automate data entry and file management Basic scheduling with Stream Scheduler utility Per-codec publishing (logs, automated web publishing, etc) Remote triggering through GPI Support for popular Windows Media DRM license providers Upgradeable to StreamPro and Enterprise Supported Formats Microft WMV 9, 8, 7 SMPTE VC-1 MPEG 2 & 1 (optional with DRC500) Quicktime (MOV and MPEG4) Real helix 9 and 10 AVI, WAV, Uncompressed DivX support (codec not included) Optional Digital Rapids AVC Encoder (AVC/H.264, MPEG4) Optional Digital Rapids Studio AVC Encoder (H.264 in MPEG-2 TS, live H.264 streaming) Optional Sorenson ACE (MPEG4, AVC/H.264, Flash 7, MP3) Optional MPEG-2 live streaming Optional Flash 8 with On2 VP6 (to file and/or live streaming) Optional AC-3 Dolby Digital Optional MXF import Stream Pro: You can add more power to your Stream system with StreamPro, Integrated RS422 deck control and logging provide fram-accurate automated capture from professional VTRs. The logger can also be installed on remote machines to create capture logs for later use on your Stream System. Multiple automatic and user-defined timecode modes are supported, with robust broken timecode support. StreamPro's Batch Encoding mode lets you encode a live input to multiple high-resolution or high bit-rate files when you've exceeded your CPU's real time encoding power. Batch Encoding mode ingests once, then transcodes the result to multiple formats automatically. Clip lists offer batch transcoding of multiple files between formats, optionally concatenating them into a single output file. StreamPro supports image sequences as input or output, and the included Sorenson ACE expands the formats you can encode with AVC (H.264), Flash 7 high quality video with low latency. Keyframeable video processing plug-ins including inverse telecine, graphic and video overlay and color space conversion can be used during live ingest or transcoding. Additional output options can automatically notify you or your clients by e-mail when encoding is complete, or automatically distribute the output files to one or more FTP servers. 192-bit AES encryption provides security for your output files. Direct output to DVD can use your deck capture log to automatically generate DVD chapter points. For collaborative work groups, StreamPro features watch folder support. Each time a file is added to the watch folder, the preset encode will start automatically. Combine this with the powerful publishing feature to empower your content creators, allowing them to publish to your web-site, intranet or FTP server by simply dropping their finished content into your watch folder. StreamPro adds all of this and more. Key Features and Benefits of StreamPro All of the features and benefits of Stream LE, plus.....

Manage projects, set profiles, start, stop and monitor any number of StreamEnterprise systems with the remote control Stream software that looks and acts just like the local interface. You can remotely monitor the incoming live video and audio, with live control of the video proc amps (brightness, contrast, etc.) cropping, filtering and audio settings. Remote live monitoring means you never have to worry about poor-quality encoding because you couldn't see that the video or audio processing controls weren't properly adjusted. The bundled Digital Rapids AVC Encoder, powered by Nero Digital, enhances the creation of AVC (H.264), MPEG-4, AAC and High-Efficiency AAC files with superior visual quality and increased encoding speed, while optional format modules like the Digital Rapids Studio AVC Encoder (also available for StreamPro) deliver output optimized for the stringent requirements of advanced applications such as VOD and IPTV.

The Preview pane is where you monitor (live) the incoming video and audio. The Profile list is where you add different codec profiles which control the basic encoding parameters of one stream. The tabbed control area is where you set all of the processing controls (video filtering, audio levels, etc) as well as monitor the statistics during the encoding session. How to get started Stream Software Comparison: Digital Rapids Stream Software Features • = Feature in Version 1.5 ¤ = feature in version 2.x o = optional feature Features are subject to change without notice. Step 1 Choose one or more of the included, pre-defined codec profiles. You do this by selecting the add button in the profile list. In this case we are going to be streaming and archiving a Windows Media file, archiving a Real Helix file, and capturing a losslessly compressed (HUFFYUV) video stream. The profiles are now loaded and ready to go Step 2 Add the selected profiles Step 3 The next step is to configure the type of input you will be using. In this example we have chosen a live input and selected our source which was named VTR-1 If we wanted to move right to streaming and capture, we can skip directly to the output tab. By selecting each codec in the profile list, you will be presented with a new set of output parameters in the output tab. (the contents of the output tab are context sensitive to the selected profile in the profile list). For the Windows profile we have entered the UNC path name (\\media\.. etc) and the port on which the video and audio will be broadcast. The filename for the output could also have been a more direct, physical path such as c:\output\wmvfile.wmv The process was repeated for the huffman codec and for Real Helix The last step is to simply hit the "start" button In many cases it will be a matter of loading a previously stored project and moving straight to the Start button. By using tags you can automate the file naming process so that you never overwrite an existing file, further simplifying the streaming process. *with DRC-500 to DRC-2500 board **With DRC-1000 board or higher ***Copper Receiver at higher data rates optional • = feature in version 1.5 ¤ = feature in version 2.x o = optional feature Features are subject to change without notice.
