The Rocket DVD PC Live DVD Production Studio comprises of three parts, RocketDVD software, an HP dc8000 Desktop PC, with 19" HP monitor and a Blackmagic DeckLink SDI capture card.
RocketDVD
RocketDVD is a DVD Production Engine that has been optimised to increase your DVD Authoring workflow while reducing the manhours required to author DVD titles. Many advanced features have been included, as well as benefits that greatly simplify and enhance DVD Creation and Production.
Using RocketDVD virtually takes the human element out of the physical DVD production process. Using the intuitive user interface, users can setup and launch a DVD authoring and production project in a matter of minutes.
The interface has been designed with the look and feel of a standard video deck including deck like intuitive controls such as; Start, Stop and Pause. In addition, all other controls are clearly marked and tied to a comprehensive context sensitive help file so that you are never more than a simple button click away from application help. The benefit is that users will be able to master the use of RocketDVD Professional in a matter of minutes.
DVD Authoring Selections
You can choose to make a DVD with menu, Once play DVD or a Continuous or Looped DVD format. If you choose DVD with menu you are presented with an opportunity to call up your custom pre-defined menu theme and the theme is displayed at the bottom of the selection window for review.
The RocketDVD Live option is used to create DVD titles at live video events and is optimised to create a fully authored DVD in a matter of a few minutes after the event has ended. While you're capturing the event, you can use the "Live Chapter Insert" feature to dynamically place chapter points in the program and you can even key in text relating to the chapter point (i.e. a song title) that will appear under the chapter point thumbnail on the DVD Scene menu. The RocketDVD Live feature has the ability to send the DVD image file you've created to an unlimited number of RocketDVD-Live Duplication Towers, simultaneously, enabling the user to produce hundreds of DVDs at once.
