A Complete Blu-ray Disc Workstation for Professional Videographers

The Sonic BD PowerStation™ is an all-in-one suite of professional production tools that give you the power to

deliver both Blu-ray Disc and DVD-Video titles. The BD PowerStation provides video professionals with the

power to encode, author, and QC, using the same technology that Hollywood trusts to deliver millions of

blockbuster Blu-ray Disc titles today.

• Dual Format Blu-ray Disc and DVD Support – The BD PowerStation’s unique design enables video

professionals to publish the same project to two formats, Blu-ray Disc and DVD-Video, a huge time saver.

When you’ve finished authoring, simply select your desired target and publish to the format of your choice.

You can even publish to DVD-Video today and re-publish using Blu-ray Disc at a later date, future-proofing

your client’s catalogue.

• Cinematic-quality Encoding with Sonic CineVision® - Produce stunning High Definition VC-1 and

MPEG-2 video encodes, using Sonic’s Hollywood-proven CineVision encoder, that take your Blu-ray Disc

and DVD titles to a whole new level. Sonic CineVision also includes exclusive segment re-encoding

technology that enables compressionists to re-encode selected segments – the ultimate professional

encoding toolset.

• Advanced Encoding Parameter Control – Extensive access to the low level VC-1 and MPEG-2 encode

settings as well as optimized presets for fast turnaround. The BD PowerStation includes fine control of

motion searching, GOP structure, and powerful adaptive quantization controls.

• BD-ROM Replication Support – Burn a one-off DVD/Blu-ray Disc titles for a client or send your project to

replication for high volume production. Deliver to the target format of your choice with comprehensive copy

protection support for both DVD and Blu-ray Disc’s copy protection technologies.

• Hollywood Proven Technology and Player Compatibility – Tried and tested technology your business

can rely on. The Sonic BD PowerStation is built on the same proven core as Sonic’s high-end production

systems – Sonic Scenarist® and Sonic CineVision® - built on over ten years of DVD and Blu-ray Discfocused

development.

PowerStation features drag-and-drop creation of fully animated HD menus and slideshows. Choose from a

menus, with motion backgrounds, buttons, and slideshows – all within the same powerful authoring

interface.
