The VITEC MGW Premium HD Encoder is a multi-channel, portable MPEG-4 H.264 encoder and streamer offering Full HD processing, KLV metadata support, and many advanced features. Featuring no moving parts, it offers 100% silent operation. Connections include dual 3G/HD/SD-SDI, HDMI, and DVI, as well as Composite and S-Video via an included breakout cable. Optimized for low-latency distribution of HD and SD video sources, it distributes IP video at broadcast-quality resolutions up to 1080p and at a wide range of bit rates and frame rates.
A built-in video matrix and scaler is capable of routing a single video source to multiple compression cores for simultaneous encoding at up to five different resolutions and frame rates. MIL-STD certified, the MGW Premium HD is optimized for mission critical ingestion and dissemination of Full Motion Video (FMV) with optional CoT and KLV metadata.
