Overview
FIRECODER Intra is a PCI Express board that encodes from the timeline of EDIUS 5 to AVC-Intra 50/100 compatible video at speeds 2-3X faster than real time.
The speed of the FIRECODER Intra solution stems from a unique algorithm that combines the capabilities of your workstation's CPU with those of the board's two hardware codecs. This speed lets you finish projects more quickly, and with less cost.
The FIRECODER Intra solution also fits seamlessly into your existing workflow, for EDIUS users it appears as an additional export option.
