NAB Debut For Media Links' IP To J2K Decoder

Media Links is to launch its first standalone IP to J2K Decoder appliance at NAB 2016.

The new MDP3000 Series includes the company's first product in the range – the MDP3010 – which is a next generation JPEG2000 Decoder for receiving high quality audio and video transport streams over IP based networks.

The MDP3010 Decoder offers high quality IP to JPEG2000 processing in a compact and portable footprint, which exceeds the demands of high-end broadcast applications. It receives IP packets that contain a JPEG2000 compressed code stream through a 1GbE network interface and reproduces a video and audio signal from the received packets.

Users can deploy the technology throughout their existing SDI / IP infrastructures without a major investment of upgrading or purchasing new racks of equipment. JPEG2000 is an advanced compression standard known for its superior picture quality and compression performance.

Two SDI outputs are provided along with an HDMI output port for connection to a general purpose display device. An SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) port is also available as an additional electrical or optical SDI output.

Advanced capabilities include Forward Error Correction (FEC), Output Signal Correction, Video ID and Tally insertion, as well as Video Status Monitoring.

The MDP3010 is ideal for limited space installations and fits comfortably next to or behind a video display, minimising cabling requirements via its 1GbE IP network connection. For example, is it suited for Contribution Quality Broadcast Feeds, Studio to Studio Media Exchange, Content Screening & Quality Control Monitoring, Distribution Delivery to DTT/Satellite/Cable and IPTV Head-Ends, and Remote Production and OB Van Environments.
