Turbocharge QuickTime Apps including Telestream Episode

Deliver H.264 video up to 5 times faster without sacrificing quality!

If you're delivering H.264 content for the web, mobile devices, Apple TV, and Blu-ray discs, you know how painful it can be to wait for the long encoding times needed to create high-quality video files using software only. You might even be tempted to sacrifice quality for speed.

With Matrox MAX technology, you no longer need to even consider making that trade off. Matrox MAX technology is accessible to all Mac applications that support the QuickTime codec component such as Telestream Episode, Final Cut Pro, and QuickTime Pro. You get faster than realtime delivery of H.264 files, at resolutions for iPod to HD, directly from the application. You can take advantage of all the familiar settings or customize your own. There are two ways to capture QuickTime files, at a constant bit rate so quality varies depending on the complexity of each frame or at a constant quality so that quality is maintained while the bit rate varies. You can generate .mov files using Matrox MAX presets or you can create your own customized settings.
