NVIDA Corp. has teamed up with Pegasys Inc. to offer optimized video processing on the GeForce GPU.
The agreement will mean that Pegasys’ video encoding software, TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress, will take advantage of the parallel processing capabilities of NVIDA’s GeForce technology. Pegasys is using NVIDA CUDA technology – a C-language programming environment for the GPU – to help optimize its video encoding platform.
“Pegasys' video transcoder software has earned top ratings in Japan and overseas for its quality and ease of use,” Patrick Beaulieu, product marketing manager of photo/video technologies at NVIDIA, said in a release. “The inclusion of CUDA technology into this video processing software illustrates its broad applicability and particular value in consumer, life-style applications. We're looking forward to further collaboration and delivering the final version of the software to market.”
TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress software converts and compresses (encodes) all types of video files that can be played on the PC, including MPEG, AVI, WMV, DivX, FLV, as well as DVD video.
The announcement was made at this weeks’ NVISION 2008 conference in San Jose, Calif.
