CyberLink MediaEspresso 6 is the successor to CyberLink MediaShow Espresso 5.5. With its further optimized CPU/GPU-acceleration, MediaEspresso is an even faster way to convert not only your video but also your music and image files between a wide range of popular formats.
Now you can easily playback and display your favourite movies, songs and photos not just on your on your mobile phone, iPad, PSP, Xbox, or Youtube and Facebook channels but also on the newly launched iPhone 4. Compile, convert and enjoy images and songs on any of your computing devices and enhance your videos with CyberLink’s built-in TrueTheater Technology.
New and Improved Features
- Ultra Fast Media Conversion – With support from the Intel Core i-Series processor family, ATI Stream & NVIDIA CUDA, MediaEspresso’s Batch-Conversion function enables multiple files to be transcoded simultaneously.
- Smart Detect Technology – MediaEspresso 6 automatically detects the type of portable device connected to the PC and selects the best multimedia profile to begin the conversion without the need for user’s intervention.
- Direct Sync to Portable Devices – Video, audio and image files can be transferred in a few easy steps to mobile phones including those from Acer, BlackBerry, HTC, Samsung, LG, Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, and Palm, as well as Sony Walkman and PSP devices.
- Enhanced Video Quality – CyberLink TrueTheater Denoise and Lighting enables the enhancement of video quality through optical noise filters and automatic brightness adjustment.
- Video, Music and Image File Conversion – Convert not only videos to popular formats such as AVI, MPEG, MKV, H.264/AVC, and FLV at the click of a button, but also images such as JPEG and PNG and music files like WMA, MP3 and M4A.
- Online Sharing – Conversion to video formats used by popular social networking websites and a direct upload feature means posting videos to Facebook and YouTube has never been easier.
For our testing today we are converting a 3.3GB 720p MKV file (2h:12mins) to Apple Mp4 format for playback on a portable device. This is a common procedure for many people and will give a good indication of system power. We are focusing on the CPU efficiency with this test.
The Intel Atom D510 inside the Sapphire EDGE-PC has a hard time competiting with AMD's E350 APU, falling 17 minutes behind with our encoding task.
I cant get over the size of that, its staggeringly small.
Beautiful bit of kit, reasonable pricing too. silent and low power, we all should be working toward that, not 40GB processing power.
My electric bill this quarter was insane. 🙁 I need to go green.
They should have made it with Fusion E350, its much better !maybe a revision 2 ?
They really should have made the stand thinner to match the low profile shape. its by far the biggest part of the design. It looks to me (although I might be wrong) that they could have made it much thinner but kept it stable and balanced.
Nice product, but ive already got an atom netbook and it drives me friggin crazy. they are such a crap CPU.
This is certainly a showcase of engineering capability. its hard to get good cooling in such a case design. I love it, even though its an Atom. E350 would make much more sense for Sapphire, but obviously they were tied into the atom platform for this build.
Ideal for a home server/media center. looks great.
I like the fact they opted for a decent sized hard drive in it.
Shocked to see Sapphire working with Intel and nvidia components in this. just checked that hell hasnt frozen over.
is it silent enough to have it in the sleeping room or does only the shuttle xs fanless design work there?
I think its quiet enough to have in a bedroom yes. I couldnt even hear it from 5 feet away. Id hate to say its completely silent because if you had this unit close to your head and under load during the evening then perhaps you would hear the fan.
I’m sorry, does everyone seem to forget the Raspberry Pi these days?
