RealProducer architecture combines award-winning video quality with the interoperability, performance and reliability expected from RealNetworks. Encoding advancements include multiple output profiles, monitoring and support for features such as Live Rate Adaptation. RealProducer teams up with the Helix Server and Helix client technologies to form the definitive end-to-end solution for future-proof mobile video.

New Graphical User Interface

GUI has been completely redesigned in the latest version of RealProducer.  The Interface displays both the source multimedia content and the encoded content side by side for comparison.

High Quality Encoding

Highly optimized RealAudio and RealVideo compression for both live and on-demand content, delivering the best video quality.

Multiple Input/Output Capacity

Enables high density encoding with multiple inputs and multiple output profiles per input, thus maximizing encoding capacity and throughput.

Setting Advisor

The GUI Settings Advisor provides automatic alerts of errors, warnings and informational conditions to help optimize encoding settings.

Audio/Video Signal Detection

A graphical audio/video preview plus watchdog reports for absent, noisy or frozen video and silent, clipped, imbalanced or out-of-phase source audio.

Timeline Editor

Use the timeline editor to set starting and ending points for the encoding job, thereby cutting unwanted video content at the beginning and end of the video clip.

Live Rate Adapatation and Multi-Rate File Creation

Create multi-rate streams to improve overall end-user QoS by delivering the highest bit-rate possible
supported by the network at any given time for both live and on-demand content.

Full Automation and Productivity Toolset

Fully automate the encoding process with the command-line interface and maximize productivity with XML job file templates.
