1. and accelerate common post processing steps It thereby produces output files and file names that are optimised for both the RealityPlayer and RealityMapper applications The application processes most common multimedia files that do not contain any kind of copy protection and outputs standard h 264 MP4 movie files as well as most common picture formats The RealityCoder currently facilitates the following workflows e Individual 3D views can be encoded into a single 3D picture file based on custom encoding parameters e Frame series of stereo 3D and multi view movies can be encoded into a single movie file based on custom encoding parameters e Stereo 3D and multi view movie files can be decoded into frame series If you find a bug please send a report to realitycoder 3dimpactmedia com Don t assume we already know about it Tell us 1 what version you are using and on which operating system platform 2 how we can reproduce the problem and if possible send us 3 asystem crash and or activity log for the transcoding process that failed If you are facing an issue with a particular file or format a short small sample that reproduces the problem is extremely helpful And if you have a new idea or suggestion get in touch with us as well Getting Started This section contains detailed information about installing and licensing the RealityCoder software 1 1 System Requirements Before you install RealityCoder please make2.

5. dual output frames However the option input based relates to the resolution of the entire video not the embedded views For example each view of a side by side half 1080p video has a resolution of 960x1080 pixels however the output files will be scaled to 1920x1080p if the option input based is selected 8090 3 RealityCoder Pictures to 3D Picture Frame Series to Video Video to Frame Series Input File 3D Format Side by side Folder Resolution Input based Image Format PNG Extract Audio Moreover please note that writing PNG files takes much longer than JPEG on most systems Therefore make sure to always use optimal parameters depending on your needs especially when working with large video files Appendix 1 3 Supported Formats The following image formats are supported e PNG e JPEG e BPM e PPM e TIFF The following movie containers are supported as input sources e MPG MP4 e MKV e AVI e MOV e WMV The following 3D formats are supported e Stereo side by side half e Stereo top bottom half e Sisvel 3D e 5 tile e 8 tile e 9 tile e Multistream 1 4 Known Limitations 1 4 1 Version 1 0 1 The 3D picture and movie encoding depends on a well defined file and folder layout on the file system which cannot be modified by the user 2 The views and files are processed in alphabetical order Therefore make sure to use a correct naming scheme when setting up the files
6. orkflow expects a set of input frames and converts them into a single movie file using custom encoding parameters such as the 3D format the output resolution the frames per second FPS and bitmap settings The optimal bitrate depends on many different factors ranging from the movie content to the available bandwidth and the final target display device There is no universal rule how to compute the optimal bitrate but you can use the Kush Gauge equation as a starting point We therefore recommend that you always run a few experiments before rendering the final production content e090 3 RealityCoder Pictures to 3D Picture Frame Series to Video Video to Frame Series Input Output Settings from Template 3D Format Side by side Resolution Input based Bitrate kb s 2000 FPS 23 976 frames second Embed Audio Please note that the input files have to be stored in a folder structure otherwise RealityCoder cannot process the views i e the view files have to be stored in separate view folders and all files and folders must named alphabetically See below for an example showing the layout of a side by side movie 009 view01 a Q AirDrop Desktop Applications 7 Developer 3dim Di Documents i Movies Pictures Dropbox 7 Google Drive DEVICES LA Philippe s Remote Disc SHARED _ 1920_108 inputBased gt BEE audio_only mp4 I view00
