The DPS Perception F/X is an optional accessory for the DPS Perception Video Recorder whcih significantly reduces the time required to render complex non-linear editing transitions. Although the F/X does not provide real time transitions, it can improve the productivity of non-linear editing systems by dramatically speeding up the rendering time for many transitions and effects.
A standard DPS Perception Video Recorder provides real time cuts between video clips. For other transitions, such a dissolves and wipes, a substantial delay can occur while the host CPU processes source frames on a pixel-by-pixel basis. A 30 frame dissolve can take minutes to render, even when using a fast CPU. The Perception F/X reduces this time to less than 10 seconds.
Specifications
HARDWARE:
The Perception F/X is a full length plug-and-play ISA card which connects to the PVR CVE-2 bus via a supplied ribbon cable. It contains two channels of video memory, key channel memory, a key processor, image scaling hardware and a linear video mixer. Acceleration is accomplished by sending the PVR's native YUV digital video data directly to the F/X card's dedicated video processing hardware via a high speed digital link.
All transitions and effects are processed in dedicated high-speed digital hardware rather than by using the host's CPU.
The DPS CVE-2 "overhead bus" virtually eliminates delays in transfering PVR video frames to and from host memory via the PCI bus.
Like the PVR, Perception F/X operates entirely in the YUV domain. This eliminates the need to perform time consuming RGB color space conversion.
SOFTWARE:
The basic operation of the DPS Perception F/X is controlled by a kernal mode Windows NT driver. The implementation of most F/X features is dependent on external software. "Plug-ins" for popular non-linear editing programs such as Adobe Premiere 4.2 and in:sync Speed Razor are available.

The DPS Perception Audio for Video (A4V) board provides comprehensive audio post-production capabilities in a single add-in board. Used with the DPS Perception Video Recorder, it forms a complete audio/video finishing suite on the desktop.
The A4V board is a PCI bus card and requires a full-length
slot. Input and output connections are made via supplied breakout
cables. Digital audio is stored on the system hard drive. To
ensure compatibility with popular third party audio editing
software, the DPS A4V records and plays standard uncompressed WAV
files. It can also be directly controlled by third party video
editing applications such as in:sync Speed Razor.

For Immediate Release, August 1, 1996
High end video production and animation facilities can now interface the DPS Perception Video Recorder directly to their D1 equipment using a new serial D1 I/O option.
This unique double-headed PC card features both PCI and ISA bus interfaces. Connected to the Perception Video Recorder's CVE port via an internal ribbon cable, the card provides a serial D1 input and two serial D1 outputs. It also sports a composite video input for wide band direct color video sources. The new DPS D1 card can be used in conjunction with or in lieu of the DPS AD-2500 component analog PVR capture daughter card.
Delivery is slated for the fourth quarter of 1996.
