EDBoX 5000 Multicoder - HD/SD MPEG-4 AVC & MPEG-2 standard

Description:  

EDBoX one of the leaders of encoding and decoding systems offer in a compact one-rack unit the latest in H.264/AVC (MPEG-4 part 10) 4:2:0/ 4:2:2* high quality standard and high defi nition compression technology, to help optimize bandwidth utilization in digital transmission setups. The optimized performance of EDBoX 5000 multicoder enhanced bandwidth efficiency with ultra-low bit rate encoding. EDBoX systems are used in 24/7 envoirement e.g. studio links, news contribution, SNG and local TV content feeds for IPTV-headends and achieve broadcast quality at lowest bitrate. With its powerful and market leading performance it enables operators to transmit many more channels within their available bandwidth over satellite, terrestrial networks, digital cable and IPTV providers.

Inside this encoder MPEG2, WM9 and VC1 can optionaly co-exist with MPEG-4 AVC encoding within the same unit.    

Product Overview:

The EDBoX 5000 multicoder offers a very cost effectice and high quality broadcast quality based on our extensive video pre-processing and intelligent encoding alogarytm with very low latency < 400ms end to end connected with the EDBoX 1000 HD/SD Decoder. Control of the encoder is supported via 4 line front panel interface and on board web application and SNMP. Two 1GB Ethernet ports are available, one for administration and the other one for streaming out. EDBoX solutions offers a lot of extensive features where the user can control from every EDBoX unit any EDBoX unit, controled via the frontpanel or over the webside. This is called EDBoX mapping . This offers the customer a great option to “see what happens” on local- and remoteside. Fabelous other features like, autostart, video bitrate on the fly within 100ms, packetlosts realtime informations, forward error correction, pinging and tracert the remote unit(s) and our market leading network line measurement tool to check the networkline between encoder and decoder makes the EDBoX 5000 multicoder one of the leading units on the market.
