Xenon™ Offline Encoder - Standard

Best suited for Small Mobile Content Providers

Xenon Offline Encoder Standard is an affordable encoding tool to create 3GPP files with the highest encoding quality. It supports all the mobile 3GPP codecs such as H.264, H.263, MPEG-4, AAC, HE AAC (v.1 and v.2), and AMR as well as a proper Digital Rights Management (DRM) support for mobile service.

Xenon™ Offline Encoder - Batch

Best suited for Big Mobile Content Providers with Batch encoding capability

Xenon Offline Encoder Batch provides Batch encoding capability to multiple source files with multiple encoding profiles with a few clicks. One can easily create a list of encoding jobs to minimize human resource costs. Using multiple encoding profiles, one can easily create multiple different output formats.

Xenon™ Offline Encoder - Pro

Best suited for Content Product House and Mobile Operators to produce professional level content

Xenon Offline Encoder Pro provides a command line interface to be integrated into a content production platform or the existing content management system. It also provides multiple-track encoding in a single process, encoding an input source into multiple tracks with different bitrates and frame-rates in a single file to be used with Xenon Streamer’s dynamic bitrate adaptation. It supports the highest level of encoding quality to ensure the content product platform guarantees professional level content.

Key Features of Xenon™ Offline Encoder

High Quality Encoding

Current encoding standards do not address quality. Vidiator has optimized various encoding algorithms to maximize the quality of encoded content, enhancing the user’s experience. Xenon Offline Encoder’s superior quality is why major mobile operators with worldwide operations have selected it and recommend it.

Double Pass Encoding

Double pass encoding makes the encoding quality of Xenon Offline Encoder even better.

Simultaneous Multiple Track Encoding*

Multiple tracks with different bitrates and/or framerates can be encoded in one file by a single encoding process. Files with multiple tracks can be used for dynamic bitrate adaptation if used with Xenon Streamer.

Handset Compatibility

Standardization does not mean a standardized encoded file can be played on any standard handset player. Vidiator participates in international interoperability tests to ensure Xenon Offline Encoder is compatible with handsets in the market. As its result, Xenon Offline Encoder supports handset interoperability with codecs such as MPEG-4, H.263, H.264, AMR, AAC and HE AAC (v.1 and v.2).

Streaming Server Compatibility

XOE is compatible with any standard-conforming streaming server, such as Xenon Streamer, Real Networks’ Helix Mobile streaming server, and Apple’s Darwin and Quicktime streaming server.

Flexible Configuration for Fine Tuning Streaming Content

Encoding video or converting multimedia into mobile multimedia streaming requires more technology than mobile downloading. Few encoders enable content conversion for streaming. XOE allows you to control the encoding parameters or to use the pre-programmed encoding profiles for all wireless networks including 3G, EDGE, GPRS, UMTS, GMS, etc.

H.264 and HE AAC v.1 and v.2

Cutting edge codecs such as H.264 and HE AAC v.1 and v.2 let you provide the best quality with new handsets as these new codecs performs 30-50% better. New codecs are regularly added to maintain future compatibility.

OMA DRM v.1.0

Standard DRM is supported to secure your content for download service.

Ad Insertion and Image Overlay

You can add a pre-roll and/or post-roll logo or advertising video clip to a media source in the encoding process. You can overlay images to embed your logo or any other image into your encoded content.

Batch Encoding**

Xenon Offline Encoder provides batch encoding capability and thus is recommended for operators, professional content providers and encoding service firms who need to create top quality mobile multimedia content fast. The optimized encoder implementation makes the production even faster.

Command Line Interface with XML-Based Configuration*

Command line interface allows you to automate your encoding production. With its XML based configuration, you can easily integrate your production platform to control the encoding parameters of Xenon Offline Encoder.

SNMP and Logging*

SNMP and detailed logging enable efficient monitoring of the streaming system. Xenon Offline Encoder has enabled various content production houses to meet their service level requirements with its SNMP and logging features.

Audio Volume Normalization

Xenon Offline Encoder allows you to normalize varying audio volume levels of different source files so the output files have the same level.

Editing and Preview

Xenon Offline Encoder provides various video editing capabilities such as cropping, image resizing, logo overlay and cutting a selected duration of the source video. You can also preview the edited video before it is encoded and even watch the video frame by frame.

Estimating Output File Size

With Xenon Offline Encoder, you can check the estimated size of an encoded output file before you actually encode it. If content size is limited by your service, this will save you time and money.

Automated Encoding Specifying the Output Size

If the encoding quality is restricted by the maximum size of content for your service, you don’t need to play with various encoding profiles to meet the size restriction. With Xenon Offline Encoder, just set the output size and codecs and Xenon Offline Encoder will do the rest - automatically adjusting encoding parameters to produce the best quality output for the file size limit.

Flexible Output File Name Creation with Macros

Create the output file names for batch encoded multiple output files with Xenon Offline Encoder’s flexible macros. You can save production time and money by changing the file names to meet your content management requirements. For example, you can name the output file so that it includes the source, encoding profile, codec or any field supported by Xenon Offline Encoder.

Intuitive UI

The UI of Xenon Offline Encoder was designed to help you step-by-step to encode your content, from pre-processing to encoding job submission.

Various Input Format Support

Xenon Offline Encoder supports conversion to 3GP files from media source formats such as Apple Quicktime format (.mov), Flash format (.flv), Windows Media format (.wmv, .wma, .asf, and etc), MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MP3, WAV, AVI, dvix, and any format supported with DirectShow.

Recommended Encoding Profiles for Different Mobile Networks

Xenon Offline Encoder provides a set of recommended settings for optimized quality for all major mobile network technologies and their various bandwidths®luding. 3G, EDGE, GPRS, CDMA 1x, EV-DO.
