VITEC Playout Server

Description

The VITEC Playout Server allows organizations to deliver content anywhere, anytime. It provides a central location where IPTV streams can be received and transmitted. VITEC Playout Server can receive unlimited Zixi™ protected streams from any network (especially the Internet) and forward them as a user defined multicast or unicast MPEG Transport Stream over UDP (UDP TS) or as a Zixi protected stream.

Used in conjunction with MGW Portable encoders and decoders from VITEC, the platform supports H.264 and bandwidth-efficient HEVC streams with stream protection technology for delivering reliable video streams across lossy networks (up to 30% packet loss) ensuring a consistent video quality and a smooth playback. When used in conjunction with MGW Ace Encoder with its high quality/low bandwidth HEVC Gen2 codec, the platform provides a perfect solution to enable contribution over the Internet and avoids the use of expensive and less flexible fiber or satellite transmission infrastructure, leading to a dramatic reduction of operating expenses (OPEX).

The Playout Server allows simplified content delivery of encoded Digital News Feeds, Government Full Motion Video, House of Worship or Sports Venue channels over lossy networks.
