VMT-2000 Multistandard Broadcast Transcoder

Application:

The VMT-2000 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 re-purposing, 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.

The scalable and cost effective modular design is capable of simultaneously transcoding up to eight Standard Definition or up to four Standard Definition video services. If desired, up to three units can be installed in a 1RU rack mount tray. Using VidOvation’s unique transcoding architecture, operators can transcode multiple High Definition and Standard Definition services in a compact modular unit.

VidOvation’s multi standard broadcast 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. Simultaneous support of DVBASI, broadcast video over IP and HTTP Live Streaming allows content to be freely distributed over virtually any video network.

Base Features:

The VMT-2000 base module is able to transcode two video services (channels) using either MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 AVC codecs in High Definition or Standard Definition format and output MPEG-1 Layer II services. The single program can be output over ASI and IP interfaces individually or on both simultaneously. The flexible licensing model allows for easy addition of feature options to expand the capabilities of each
module.
