Optimized for Intel® Core i7™
PowerDirector enhances overall HD video editing performance. Intel Core i7 technology harnesses the full power of the CPU to deliver higher performance and better energy efficiency during HD video editing. |
Improved Performance Gains
Intel Core i7 technology enables PowerDirector to improve overall performance including previewing, effects rendering, format conversions, and burning to DVD or Blu-ray disc.
The chart shows PowerDirector's performance gain in rendering an HD video using the CPUs most intensive video effect, Pencil Sketch 2.
With Core i7 and the Hyper-Threading technology, PowerDirector renders video faster. |
|
Optimized for NVIDIA® CUDA™
NVIDIA CUDA technology empowers PowerDirector to encode HD video in H.264 format significantly faster by leveraging the power of the GPU for improved rendering times for certain video effects.
|
Optimized for HD Encoding to H.264
PowerDirector allows the output of H.264 content for playback on PSP, iPod, iPhone and PS3. A choice of video profiles, offering high quality and relatively small file sizes, is the perfect solution for creating content for today's media players.
The chart shows PowerDirector's performance gain in rendering an HD video with NVIDIA CUDA and without CUDA.
