What is Dirac PRO?
Dirac Pro is a version of the Dirac family of video compression tools, optimised for professional production and archiving applications, especially where the emphasis is on quality and low latency (i.e. we avoid the long delay inherent in some of the implementations we use for broadcast or internet applications). Typical production processes require lossless or virtually lossless compression with low latency. Dirac has been streamlined to meet these requirements. Dirac Pro is designed for simplicity, efficiency and speed, and intended for high quality applications with lower compression ratios. Like Dirac it is an open technology, which will work on all the major operating systems, such as Windows, Macintosh or Linux. As it is an Open system, it is easy to import it onto a wide range of hardware, from specialist signal processors to application-specific LSI circuits. Dirac Pro is capable of being used in post production at resolutions up to 4K with a base layer plus enhancement system,
