DELIVER REAL-TIME ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE AT THE BEST QUALITY POSSIBLE
Reliably deliver vital video and metadata at low latency and enable quick decisions by responding in real-time to mission-critical information.
- HEVC (H.265), AVC (H.264), MPEG-4 Part 2, and MPEG-2 codec support
- SRT, UDP, RTSP and RTMP transmuxing capabilities
- SDI, Composite video, and GigE Vision input support
- The best resiliency over any network using the MISB-approved SRT protocol
ADAPT TO ANY NETWORK
Get the most of your available bandwidth and overcome limitations of satellite links and other constrained networks.
- Transcode video sources to lower bitrates
- Reduce bandwidth consumption by up to 50% with HEVC
- Leverage the SRT protocol to overcome adverse network conditions such as packet loss and jitter
PRESERVE AND MANAGE EMBEDDED METADATA
When video quality needs to be prioritized, filter out unnecessary metadata fields and make the most of available bandwidth while preserving metadata timing and geospatial context.
- CoT to KLV Conversion
- KLV Rate Decimation
- KLV Filtering KLV Filtering (MISB ST0601.10)
ENSURE DOWNSTREAM COMPATIBILITY
Convert streams between common video codecs, resolutions, and frame rates to maintain interoperability with legacy devices.
