Since the launch of the new Intel i7 processor, it is now possible to achieve real-time advanced video and audio encoding entirely in software, even AVC encoding in HD. DekTec seizes this opportunity to launch DtEncode, a new software product for cost-effective real-time encoding of base-band video and audio, e.g. from HD-SDI.

DtEncode targets the "local broadcasting" segment, where cost-effective encoding. Typical applications include company-internal broadcasting, digital signage andlocal-area mobile TV. Another application where DtEncode comes in handy is user-friendly and flexible generation of compressed video within R&D facilities.

"Customers have long been asking for a cost-effective way to perform real-time video encoding directly from our SDI input cards. We're pleased to bring this to reality today with DtEncode. We will add several new functionalities in the coming months, with video capture directly from the PC screen as highlight. Key markets include digital signage and local broadcasting. For multi-program operations, DtEncode is the ideal front-end for our advanced remultiplexer DTC-700 MuxXpert." says Sito Dekker, CEO of DekTec.
