PS3 with HD Video Encoding

Cell CPU’s computing power is no secret in PS3 owners. Consisting of conventional PowerPC CPU core with eight satellite sub-processors, the architecture is pretty unique. Processing power of this ultimate combination can be estimated by the fact that only one of these sub-processors is capable of decoding 300 MP3 files simultaneously.

As long as the task at hand is in processing limit of the core processor, the technology can outrun even Intel i7 processor. CodecSys CE-10 software enables users to encode high quality h264 codec from PC. But, in reality, the immense processing power required is sourced from the Cell chip from a PS3 system which is connected to the PC using a simple LAN cable.

Another SPU-based encoder is SpursEngine which works very quickly and efficiently using four SPUs from your PS3 machine. But, if you consider quality, then SpursEngine will not even stand in top ten softwares designed for the job.

Reviewing processing ability of CodecSys encoder is very important as the device is priced at a whooping $200 for personal version and $2000 for professional version. You can try a full product at FixStart which offer a 14-day free trial period. With easy installation and pretty straight-forward interface, the conversion method is pretty easy to understand. The processing is lightning fast with ability to encode 720p 40fps videos with great quality. Image processing like adding blur, maintaining focus or editing background details becomes a lot easier and comfortable with this software.
