DVEO To Launch Portable Live Streaming & Encoding Appliance At IBC 2012

DVEO, the broadcast division of Computer Modules, Inc. (CMI), will introduce the latest - and smallest - addition to their product family of real time streaming appliances that deliver content to iPads, laptops, OTT televisions, and mobile devices via IP. DVEO will debut the new system at Stand 2.A54 at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam, September 7-11.
The portable Linux® based MultiStreamer DIG/IPT (micro) encoder/live streamer is only 9.8 inches (25 centimeters) long and 7.8 inches (19.8 centimeters) wide. It accepts uncompressed SDI or HD-SDI video (or optional HDMI or analog) from cameras, editing systems, or video servers, and supports simultaneous IP input.
The "micro" creates multiple simultaneous high, medium, and low bitrate IP streams and sends them to smart phones, tablets, content delivery networks (CDNs), and remote video capture devices. The IP transport streams can be provided with most industry standard protocols, including UDP, RTP, or IGMP, and wrappers such as HLS, RTMP, RTSP, etc.
The MultiStreamerT DIG/IP (micro) runs on a high end Intel® I7 4 Core (Ivy Bridge) processor. It encodes up to one 1080i or 1080p HD stream plus one 720p HD stream at 6 Mbps, and 2 SD streams at 2 Mbps. Audio output is AAC, Ogg Vorbis, optional MP3, optional MPEG-1 Layer II, or optional "SurCode for Dolby Digital" AC-3.
"The new MultiStreamer micro's light weight and size make it much easier to carry HD video quality webcasting and streaming equipment to sites," stated Scott Grizzle, Product Manager for DVEO. "Typically our customers use it in the field to gather news video and stream it live to the TV station. We also recommend it for sending video of live events and concerts, sporting events, corporate training, and religious services to iPads, iPhones, and other portable devices. This small portable box weighs just five pounds -- 2.27 kilograms."
The MultiStreamer micro is also available in numerous video formats. All systems include one GigE IP input. Customers may select one additional input format -- SDI/HD-SDI, HDMI, 8VSB, DVB-T+T2, Analog, DVB-ASI, DVB-S+S2, QAM, or DVB-C. The systems include schedulable input -- they can receive input at a specified date and time.
Supported resolutions include qHD, H.264up, SQVGA, QCIF, QVGA, CIF, 720p, or any custom size up to 1080p. The systems feature a web-based GUI with SNMP support for remote access.
In addition to the micro, DVEO's MultiStreamer streaming appliances are available in several other configurations -- mini (1 RU), midi, (2 RU), maxi (3 RU), and the Brutus 4 RU and 1 RU blade systems. All MultiStreamers have been tested to be compatible with major brands of IP devices including AminoT, Roku, Atlanta DTH, and Apple iPad® and iPhone®. They are also compatible with major brands of CDNs and H.264 decoders.
