Copyright 2008 Codecs Unlimited, Inc. It is no longer necessary to purchase ultra-expensive, proprietary hardware encoders. The CU TV H.264/AVC Encoder offers real-time encoding with higher quality and easier expansion than embedded encoders, at a lower price. These powerful Intel-based products use an efficent embedded operating system and our powerful firmware to achieve performance that previously required dedicated hardware. The boxes are available as finished products with your choice of cases and configurations, or as reference designs for system integrators and operators who want to produce their own high-quality encoders with an unbeatable feature set. Highest video quality Easy expandability with simple firmware updates Variety of input and output formats and interfaces Intuitive web-based remote management interface A cost-effective, no-compromise solution for operators who need to adopt the popular AVC format High-quality, real-time HD & SD MPEG-4 part 10 AVC/H.264 encoder providing DVD-quality video at bitrates from 1.5 Mbps for SD and from 5 Mbps for HD High-quality AAC encoder providing CD-quality audio at bit rates from 64kbps Baseline, Main and High profiles, up to Level 5.1 support Digital, analog and Ethernet IP inputs DVB-ASI and Ethernet IP outputs Interoperability with existing software and hardware players (set-top box decoders, etc.) Progressive and interlaced encoding through both PAFF and MBAFF Advanced CBR and VBR rate control for optimal real-time data encoding and delivery through channels with constant and variable bandwidth Look-ahead video analysis with advanced scene change detection Three modes of adaptive quantization to ensure highest visual quality Video preprocessing: cropping, resizing, deinterlacing and watermarking Support for RAW/UDP, RTP/UDP and exclusive support for RAW/TCP, RTP/TCP Choice of configurable transport protocols Advanced user interface allowing full control over encoding parameters, offering flexibility unavailable with hardware designs Input Ethernet, SDI, HD-SDI, DVB-ASI, analog video via Composite, Component (Yr, Pr, Pb), S-Video Transport MPEG-2 TS (for Ethernet and DVB-ASI input) Video Uncompressed video, MPEG-2, AVC/H.264 Audio Uncompressed audio (PCM), analog audio AES/EBU, MPEG-1 layer I/II, MPEG-4 AAC, HE-AAC Output Ethernet, DVB-ASI Transport MPEG-2 TS, Elementary Streams Video MPEG-4 Part 10 (AVC/H.264) Audio MPEG-1 Layer II, AAC, HE-AAC Network Features Protocols: RAW/UDP, RTP/UDP (unicast or multicast), RAW/TCP, RTP/TCP, IPv4, IPv6* Announcements: SDP/SAP Resolutions From QCIF up to Full HD 720p and 1080i Bitrates From 10 kbps up to 288 Mbps Preprocessing Picture resizing, cropping, deinterlacing, watermarking Encoding Features Advanced motion estimation and scene change/transition detection, adaptive GOP, multiple reference frames, weighted prediction, configurable rate-distortion optimization parameters, frame, field and MBAFF coding modes, advanced CBR and VBR rate control, 3 modes of adaptive quantization Control Remote web-based management interface offering control over network configuration, capture boards and configuration, preprocessing and encoding control, multiplexing and transport configuration, and system information Monitoring SNMP v2.0 via web interface Operating Systems Windows XP Embedded, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2003 Server To request more information, a demo and/or a price quote, please submit our Sales Inquiry Form.
