TouchStream
Superior Quality
Same exceptional output quality that has made our rack-mount encoders the preferred choice of leading studios, networks and facilities worldwide
Advanced video pre-processing technology delivers superior visual quality while making most efficient use of bandwidth in resulting output
Motion adaptive de-interlacing analyzes each pixel and varies the algorithm applied to each area to maximize quality and avoid visual artifacts such as trails and motion blur
Video noise reduction minimizes impact of noise- creating issues such as low lighting that can greatly affect compression quality
Top-quality scaling, filtering and more
