FAB Media Encoder records video, stereo audio and timecode into a single
media file. The resulting media file can be used for subtitling preparation by
using FAB Subtitling Preparation Software.
Benefits
Using FAB Media Encoder to produce media files instead of tape copies results
in major benefits in the subtitling preparation process.
Benefits for the broadcaster
-
One VCR less is required in the copying process.
Therefore there is no maintenance cost for the VCR. Generally at least video
heads have to be replaced regularly, if a non-professional VCR is used then
often the complete VCR has to be replaced.
-
Media files can be stored on a file server.
Departments in larger organizations can easily access media files on a file
server by using the corporate computer network.
-
No damages when using postal mail.
CD ROMs and DVD ROMs with media files can be mailed easier as tapes as
they can not be damaged as easy.
-
Media files can be downloaded via Internet.
Media files can be made available for download on an FTP server. External
subtitlers can easily download media files via Internet and upload or e-mail
resulting subtitle files. Using postal mail to deliver tapes to subtitlers is not
required any more. Because downloading media files is much faster than
postal mail external subtitlers can also produce subtitles for programmes
broadcasted on the same day.
