San Diego, California -- DVEO, the broadcast division of San Diego based Computer Modules, Inc. (CMI), will showcase their versatile broadcast grade H.264 high definition or standard definition encoder next week at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam, September 10-14, at Stand 2.A48.
An ideal system for sending MPEG-4 video over private IP networks, the HCoder ASI/IP™ supports both H.264 HD and SD encoding, with simultaneous dual ASI outputs and one GigE IP output. The input can be HDMI, SDI, HD-SDI, component analog (YPbPr), or CVBS.
Based on advanced Fujitsu® encoding chipsets, the HCoder ASI/IP is now shipping with SD to HDTV resolution up to 1080p, with automatic resolution detection on input. The unit is operated via head-end management software or LCD front panel controls. Audio encoding is MPEG-1 Layer-II with optional Dolby® Digital AC-3 passthrough or optional AAC.
“Our customers are very enthusiastic about the flexibility of the HCoder ASI/IP H.264 encoder,” noted Laszlo Zoltan, Sales Manager for DVEO. “It receives HD and SD input, plus input from low cost HDMI cameras, and even analog input. It is ideal for backhaul applications and electronic news gathering.”
Other useful features of the HCoder ASI/IP include IP unicast and multicast support, HDCP support for the HDMI input (for content protection), and a latency of approximately 500 milliseconds. A matching decoder, the Virenza™, is also available from DVEO.
