VITEC Introduces New Products

VITEC has announced a number of new products to its portfolio, of which will be on display at Streaming Media East Expo.

MGW Ace – The First Portable HEVC Encoder
At Streaming Media East Expo, VITEC will introduce its MGW Ace appliance, a 100% hardware-based HEVC portable device for encoding and streaming video. The device features HEVC (H.265) bandwidth-efficient compression as well as legacy H.264 capabilities – supporting diverse and demanding field-based content requirements within settings such as live news broadcasts, sports venues, or secure applications within military environments. Equipped with a wide selection of I/Os and low power consumption using VITEC's HEVC compression chip, the device is ideal for any high-quality audio or video streaming, as well as KLV metadata requirements whether in the field or on the move.

EZ TV IPTV System
VITEC will also showcase its EZ TV IPTV system, which allows any facility to deliver live, on-demand, or recorded video over their existing IP infrastructure. Using the EZ TV Web Portal, administrators can create, manage, and distribute video assets while the solution's browser-based EZ TV Player uses the market's most flexible digital video codec to offer CPU-efficient quality playback of IPTV streams across networks. Equipped with a new add-on for IPTV settings, the solution complements any IPTV deployment with quality and compliance dashboards as well as instant alerts – ensuring all video, audio, and metadata services are delivered reliably to users.

MGW Sprint and MGW Portable Encoders – Zero-Delay Streaming
VITEC's enhanced MGW Sprint is a MPEG-4 H.264 HD encoder/decoder appliance. With the ability to encode and decode in under 10 milliseconds, the professional-grade IPTV device enables full-HD 1080p60 video and audio streaming – point-to-point or point-to-multipoint – with less than one video frame of delay. As a result, the solution practically matches the latency of any hardwired uncompressed video system. Also on display will be VITEC's full line of MGW portable encoders including Premium, Nano, Nano TOUGH, and Pico, all of which now support Zixi error-correction technology.

Eli Garten, Vice President, Product Management, VITEC, said: "The VITEC product lineup has been positioned to bring greater efficiency, quality, and dependability to today's streaming settings. At Streaming Media East, we'll be demonstrating our company's wide range of portable encoding, IPTV, and decoding solutions – enabling the reliable delivery of rich media to any application seeking to stream high-quality content."

"VITEC will be introducing the MGW Ace, the world's first 100-percent hardware-based HEVC portable device for encoding and streaming video in the field. Rounding off our showcase will be VITEC's comprehensive EZ TV IPTV system, MGW Spring, and MGW portable encoders, providing a complete lineup of solutions made to meet today's wide range of streaming applications," he added.
