Eight years ago, Renewed Vision created ProVideoSync (PVS), a dual channel video player now in use by organizations all over the world for the synchronized playback of two channels of broadcast-quality video. But, the world has changed quickly; codecs like H.264 that were originally suitable for web video became of a better quality, distribution of content over the web became more desirable, remote control capabilities in video switchers became more widespread, and the appetite for even more video channels began to grow.
So, we went back to the drawing board in an effort to address these modern requirements and re-imagined and extended the original scope of PVS. The result of these efforts is a brand new product with a slightly updated name that's more appropriate for what this product can do:
In short, all the things our customers loved about ProVideoSync, with a bevy of new functionality that will appeal to a whole new market of users at a price point that will, we believe, surprise and delight. ProVideoServer can accommodate up to four independent channels of 1080i from one system. This Mac-based software outputs video out natively through HD/SDI (Blackmagic cards only) and can utilize a range of commonly used codecs such as ProRes, DVCProHD, MPEG 4, and H.264. All video SD and HD resolutions are supported and video is resized and retimed on the fly to match the output setting. Real time Video Scaling and interlace/de-interlace are standard.
ProVideoServer is delivered as a download and license keys are sold on a per channel basis. This pricing model allows the system to grow with an organization. Also, our licensing model allows you to install channels flexibly. For example, a machine can be used for one weekend with 4 licenses, and the same licenses can be deployed on two separate computers the next week creating dual two channel systems. This is of particular value to multi-site organizations and rental companies.
