Grass Valley ProCoder 3 Encoding Software for Windows
The ProCoder 3 Encoding Software for Windows from Grass Valley is a professional solution for video format conversion needs. The software features full support for native HD, SD, DV and many other video codecs, the ability to change frame rates, size, and resolution and multi-user network capability. These features make it a powerful tool for anyone who needs to create digital content for video, DVD and Internet applications.
- Frame Rate Interpolation and Conversion Utilities
- ProCoder's frame rate utilities handle PAL/NTSC conversion, 3:2 pull-down and automatic adaptive deinterlacing for progressive and interlaced video. You'll be able to encode your media in lower frame rates to shrink file sizes while maintaining native resolution or decrease image size as well to create brilliant Web content.
- Full HD Support
- The software can import and export high-definition (HD) video (720p/1080i) compatible with MPEG and Windows Media applications. You can transcode between HD and Standard Definition (SD) video, change frame rates and export to any format using preset or custom settings. ProCoder also supports HDV MPEG Transport streams captured from HDV cameras and decks.
- Scalable Technology Architecture
- ProCoder's conversion speed increases with the power of the system, many times transcoding at faster-than-real-time speeds when running on high-end systems. This allows the software performance to increase as you upgrade your computer.
- Professional Video Filters
- Some of the video filters featured in ProCoder are 601-SD to 709-5-HD Color Correction, 709-5-HD to 601-SD Color Correction, Adaptive De-Interlace, Bitmap Keying, Black/White Correction, Blur, Circular Blur, Gaussian Blur, Color Correction, Color Safe, Crop, Fade In/Out, Gamma Correction, Video Pulldown, Video Sharpen, Temporal Noise Reducer and more.
- Corrective Audio Filters
- You'll be able to tweak your audio with several professional-quality audio filters. These include low pass, normalize and volume adjustment.
- Multi-User Watch Folders
- The software lets you create custom watch folders and place them on your network. This allows anyone on your network to drag-and-drop files to be encoded. This process ensures that all files are encoded to meet the correct specifications as designated by the watch folder settings. It also allows multiple users to encode using the same designated networked ProCoder-enabled computer.
- Queue Manager
- You'll be able to organize and manage multiple transcoding jobs with ProCoder's Queue Manager. This utility allows you to prioritize files, pause, remove or restart jobs and view job progress, warnings or errors. This utility eliminates the need to process each job individually.
- Intuitive ProCoder Wizard
- The ProCoder Wizard will guide you through the encoding process, helping you choose the optimum compression settings for your particular media destination. It will also help you choose the best settings for any type of Internet connection speed.

Comments about Grass Valley ProCoder 3 Encoding Software for Windows:
Procoder 3 has greatly improved video conversion throughput with its managed folder function. It's so nice to just drop videos into a folder and it automatically converts them without any interaction with the program once the folders have been set up. It works fast and provides quality output.

Comments about Grass Valley ProCoder 3 Encoding Software for Windows:
This product is a pretty good video transcoder/encoder. Installed on a quality server and it costs far less than some other box/software solution combinations. Works well for encoding movies for use with Blonder Tongue's DVS-400
