Cinema Craft, Inc. provides high performance MPEG-1/-2 encoders to high-end C&A houses, such as Hollywood Industry. Our flagship product CCE-Pro has brought forth many great DVD titles and made a name because of its performance and stable quality of output. It is a great honor for us to tell Deluxe Digital Studios, (http://www.bydeluxe.com/) a world leader in technology and media services for filmed and home entertainment, is one of our preferred users of CCE-Pro.


CCE-SP 2.70 is powered by the CCE encoding engine, and what is more, has advantages of off-line encoding system. We believe that CCE-SP 2.70 gives you a capability of producing Hollywood quality at affordable investment cost.


One of the enhancements 3:2 pulldown functionality will make a great impact on your workflow. It eliminates cost consuming telecine process and time consuming cadence correction of inverse 3:2 pulldown, and will allow small and medium facilities to go into the business.


The setting windows have renewed dramatically. Especially, newly added viewers to inverse 3:2 pulldown setting or chapter setting will improve the efficiency and accuracy of the setting.


CCE-SP has brought about many works on motion menus or bonus materials, and can be expected to make great works on A-references (main features). Some of major facilities have already achieved success with CCE-SP.
