VAT-5000 Adaptive Bit Rate Transcoder
Application:
The VAT-5000 is a powerful and flexible real time transcoding solution supporting MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC video codecs and a wide variety of audio codecs. It is ideally suited for any content repurposing, edge transcoding, or video distribution network bandwidth optimization application. The product has been designed to meet the demanding requirements of the IPTV, professional broadcast, enterprise video delivery, and streaming video markets. It can support up to eight output profiles per input.
The VAT-5000 is a feature-rich high performance dual-channel video transcoder that delivers up to 20 individual HD/SD channels in a completely hot-swappable, stackable, and fault tolerant chassis. Using VidOvation’s unique transcoding architecture, operators can transcode multiple High Definition and Standard Definition services in a compact modular unit.
VidOvation’s adaptive bit rate transcoder is equipped with the latest advances in video compression technology to deliver excellent video quality at low bitrates. State of the art video processing combined with our unique encoding technology enables new open system architectures to be created. Broad support of broadcast video over IP, RTMP and HTTP Live Streaming allows content to be freely distributed over virtually any IP video network.
