Copyright 2008 Codecs Unlimited, Inc. It is no longer necessary to purchase ultra-expensive, proprietary hardware encoders. The CU TV MPEG-2 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 maintain the proven MPEG-2 format High-quality, real-time SD and HD MPEG-2 encoder providing DVD-quality video at bitrates from 3 Mbps for SD, and from 9 Mbps for HD High-quality MPEG-1 Layer II encoder providing CD-quality audio at bitrates from 160 kbps Simple, Main, High and 422 profiles, up to High Level 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 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 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-2 Audio MPEG-1 Layer II Network Features Protocols: RAW/UDP, RTP/UDP (unicast or multicast), RAW/TCP, RTP/TCP, IPv4, IPv6* Announcements: SDP/SAP Resolutions From CIF up to Full HD 720p and 1080i Bitrates From 500 kbps up to 100 Mbps Preprocessing Picture resizing, cropping, deinterlacing, watermarking Encoding Features Advanced motion estimation and scene change detection, adaptive GOP, progressive and interlaced coding modes, advanced CBR and VBR rate control, 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.
