Rapid mastering station is the newest and fastest DCI-JPEG2000 mastering on the market with extensive encoding parameter controls and support for bit rates up to 250Mbps. The Rapid features quality variable bit rate (VBR) encoding to produce the highest possible image quality at file sizes significantly smaller than those achieved with constant bit rate encoding. A smaller digital movie file size provides for reduced duplication time and distribution costs. The super-fast processor quadruples the encoding speed currently available on Doremi’s DMS-2000 mastering station. The accelerated encoding times gives post facilities the opportunity to significantly increase their revenues by expediting higher volumes through the facility.
