VITEC MGW D265 IP decoder
VITEC has announced shipping of its portable HEVC IP decoder, which works with a hardware-based HEVC encoding appliance.
The VITEC MGW D265 IP decoder features real-time decoding of HEVC (H.265) IP streams, HD/SD-SDI and HDMI outputs, and is targeted for field use and travel kits
"VITEC is the first company to bring the bandwidth-efficient HEVC compression technology into the field with our broadcast-grade encoding, streaming, and decoding appliances" said Eli Garten, vice president of product management. "MGW D265 was designed as a portable unit to support rapid deployment of high-efficiency video links in conjunction with our MGW Ace HEVC hardware encoder. With MGW D265, our customers can continue to receive legacy H.264 streams and also decode and playout HEVC content anywhere, anytime."
VITEC says its encoding and decoding systems provides broadcasters, corporate IT, government agencies, and military units with a turnkey solution for sending video point to point or point to multi-point using half the network bandwidth previously required with H.264 systems while retaining the same video quality.
