Whether you author DVDs for a living, or simply demand the very best playback of your personal video collection, the Mason IP will impress you with its superb playback and advanced features.

Designed as the ultimate proofing tool for checking encoded video or verifying DVD projects, the Mason IP plays your files from any available network volume, just as if it was already burned to a disc. (more…)

A funny thing happened while we were developing the MasonIP. Since our goal was to create the ultimate proofing tool for video professionals, we reached out to many pros, seeking their input on what features and functions were most important to them. Invariably, when we would tell them about the Mason, we’d hear: “I’d love to have something like that in my home theatre too.”

We couldn’t agree more. In fact, while we’ve been working on the Mason, some of us at Wired have been using them at home too. Once you’ve had this kind of access to your video collection, you’ll never want to go back to swapping discs.

We are proud to announce that the Mason IP decoder is now in production, and will be shipping later this month to those who pre-ordered.

Wired is demonstrating the new MasonIP DVD player/verifier at NAB 2007 in Las Vegas. We are in suite #360 at the Las Vegas Hilton (with Sigma Designs). We’ll have a typical DVD authoring setup, utilizing MasonIP as a network based DVD player/verifier. We’d love to have you stop by to see the MasonIP in action. Suite hours are 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM the 16th thru 18th, but we are available by appointment outside those times. Email INFO@WIREDINC.COM or call 651-653-6247 for more info and/or to schedule a demo.

Hope to see you all in Vegas!!

We hear it all the time: ‘DVD Studio Pro comes with an MPEG encoder; why would I need a Wired MediaPress?’ The answer is simple: higher quality MPEG-2 encoding from your tape sources in realtime.

With the widespread availability of software MPEG encoders, some people assume that there’s no longer a need for a hardware encoder. But if you’re encoding from tapes, you’ll still get the best quality and fastest results with a MediaPress encoder in your Macintosh. With a software encoder, you need to capture the footage into your computer before you can use the software encoder. (more…)
