elgato turbo.264
At first glance I thought this was just another video transcoder application. It turns out elgato began shipping their turbo.264 hardware encoder in the form of a compact USB 2.0 stick.
This concept accelerates video encoding by acting as a “co-processor” to maximize system efficiency. This includes using the export command of Mac video applications like Final Cut Pro and Quicktime Pro. elgato states performance is up to four times faster on Macs with Intel Core processors, and encoding on older PPC systems is “exponentially faster.” Check out the cool photo gallery. The bundled software application offers presets for Apple TV and iPod video conversions, and it supports 4:3 /16:9 resolutions.
The kit sells for $99 US.
Looks awesome - and thanks for the heads up - but that’s 99 British pounds about $200 U.S.
