Sonic Intros Scenarist QC and CineVision QC

Sonic Solutions has announced a collaboration with Sequoyan Media Technology to introduce a new line of quality-control applications that offer standard definition DVD-Video emulation and real-time high-definition video stream compression and quality verification. The new applications, Scenarist QC and CineVision QC, are planned for release in September as companion products to Scenarist Workgroup, Sonic's line of professional authoring and encoding systems.

Scenarist QC delivers standard definition DVD emulation that enables authoring facilities to verify disc navigation, video and audio compression quality, and ancillary information such as closed captions and subtitles, ensuring that the content achieves the highest standards in the shortest amount of time. In addition to the SD emulation capabilities based on the collaboration with SMT, Scenarist QC also offers HD DVD emulation, and adds reference-quality HD-SDI video output, playback support for the new Dolby and DTS audio formats, and advanced debugging features.

Essential for performing quality control on compressed video streams, CineVision QC delivers real-time, reference-quality decoding and playback of all three next generation codecs (AVC, VC-1, and HD MPEG-2) on a single workstation. Offering the cleanest, most accurate output possible by avoiding graphics accelerators and graphics cards, CineVision QC allows compressionists, disc authors and QC personnel at professional production facilities to accurately analyze their HD encodes, identify potential problems, and create higher-quality titles.
