The QVidium® MPEG2+4 IP Codec provides a compact and reliable solution for transporting live NTSC and PAL video streams across an IP network. QVidium’s MPEG2+4 IP Codec implements QVidium’s patented ARQ error correction as well as the latest version of the Pro-MPEG Forum’s standard, Code of Practice (COP) 3 release 2 with Forward Error Correction (FEC) for reliable and interoperable video transport.

The QVidium® MPEG2+4 IP Codec can be quickly configured through its easy-to-use web interface as either an encoder or decoder, or both. As an encoder digitizes composite or S-Video video signals, along with stereo audio, compresses them using MPEG-2 (MP@ML) or MPEG-4 (SP@L1, L2 & L3, Full D1 & interlacing) 4:2:0 and MPEG-1 Layer-II audio compressions, multiplexes the video and audio streams and produces a DVB-compliant MPEG-2 Transport Stream. It can accommodate both PAL and NTSC video formats. As a decoder, it will accept any ProMPEG, RTP/IP, or UDP/IP encapsulated MPEG-2 transport stream, and decodes MPEG2 and MPEG4-SP video through its S-Video and composite outputs.

It encapsulates the video transport stream into IP packets using the UDP or Real Time Protocol (RTP) for complete interoperability with Set-Top Boxes (STB) and other UDP and RTP compliant gateways.

The encoder is fully compliant full Pro-MPEG COP #3 standard for complete interoperability with QVidium’s and third-party networked video devices that also comply with the Pro-MPEG standard.

The QVidium® MPEG2+4 IP Codec includes two forms of error correction: ProMPEG FEC and QVidium’s patented ARQ. This full video transport quality can be maintained even in the face of packet loss, packet duplication and packet re-ordering from the IP network when used in conjunction with a Pro-MPEG FEC or QVidium ARQ compatible receiver.

The QVidium® MPEG2+4 IP Codec is simple to set up and maintain. An intuitive web interface control allows configuration and monitoring from any location on the network using a standard web browser from any networked computer. The system also supports Telnet and FTP access.

Front and Back Panels :

• Advanced error correction, selectable between Pro-MPEG COP 3 Release 2 FEC and QVidium’s patented ARQ, maintains video transport quality despite packet loss, reordering, and duplication.
• QVidium’s advanced packet pacing eliminates large packet bursts that can impair video transport.
• Compliance with DVB standards insures interoperability. Interoperable with Set-Top Boxes (STB).
• MPEG Encoding up to 9 Mbps and very low cost per channel provides a very cost-effective solution.
• Two Codecs provide a complete end-to-end solution for transmission of analog video and audio over IP networks. Can send and receive audio and video simultaneously.
• Compact size is perfect for mobile applications such as Electronic News Gathering (ENG).
• Silent fan-less design completely eliminates any added noise and insures reliability.
• Capable of battery operation, 6 VDC Power Input for mobile applications.
