<b>Encoding controls</b>
- 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 level support
- GOP structure
- Constant bit rate (bit rate remains stable, quality varies depending on complexity of each frame)
- Constant quality (each video frame is analyzed to deliver the targeted quality, bit rate varies while keeping the lowest possible bit rate)
- Variable bit rate (squeezes out the highest possible quality at the average target bit rate )
- Noise filtering (saves bits by reducing high frequencies in the video)
- De-interlacing (ensures high-quality encodes of interlaced SD and 1080i source material)
- Data rate slider (produces smoother or more abrupt transitions)
- Sample rate monitoring (verifies compliance with targeted data rate)
- Scene detection (provides multi-pass quality in a single pass with Apple Compressor)

<b>Dedicated hardware scaler</b>
