Turbo.264 Video Encoder Hardware
Turbo.264 comes with an easy "drag and drop" application. The application converts unencrypted videos one at a time or in a batch, and drops the converted file(s) into iTunes, where they automatically synch with a connected iPod, Apple TV or iPhone.
Turbo.264 also supports the H.264 (MPEG-4) export command of popular Macintosh video applications, including EyeTV's Wi-Fi Access feature. Not only does Turbo.264 get the job done faster, it frees up your Mac for other tasks while video encoding is in progress. Think of it as a “co-processor” for your Mac.
<b>Under the Hood</b>
The software application that comes with Elgato Turbo.264 offers an easy-to-use choice of presets for the iPod, Sony PSP, Apple TV, and iPhone. For Apple TV content, the quality of videos encoded with Turbo.264 software is unrivaled: Turbo.264 converts standard definition television recordings without scaling so that recordings appear on Apple TV in the same resolution they were recorded.
Experienced video enthusiasts can adjust size, aspect ratio, overscan, frame rate, data rate, and AAC audio by creating custom settings. This enables you to:
- convert widescreen DVD (VIDEO_TS) video files without black bars.
- tweak video resolution and frame rate;
- adjust the video settings so it plays on your smartphone;
- pick the audio track you wish to go with the main feature when converting VIDEO_TS folders.
Turbo.264 supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios as well as widescreen content.
