DVEO, the broadcast division of San Diego
based Computer Modules, Inc. (CMI), announced that they are
now shipping three new Linux based MPEG-2 to H.264 transcoders.
MPEG Gearbox is DVEO's new family of broadcast quality, Linux
based, MPEG-2 to H.264 transcoders or MPEG-2 to MPEG-2 scalers
for the IPTV and cable industries and others who need to deliver
digital content in a cost effective way.
Three systems are available: ASI to IP, ASI to ASI, and IP
to IP. Each system transcodes one HD (720p) stream or two
SD streams into H.264 and outputs the streams over ASI or
IP. The MPEG Gearbox ASI/IP can also receive 1 to 4+ MPEG-2
channels and output them to a dedicated IP network as MPEG-2
streams. Audio support is MPEG and AAC (MPEG-4).
The H.264/MPEG-4 compression standard uses up to 60 percent
less bandwidth and disk space than MPEG-2 video, with no change
in picture quality. The IP video streams generated by the
MPEG Gearbox ASI/IP and MPEG Gearbox IP/IP can be viewed on
television sets with standard IP capable set-top boxes, or
on computers using streaming video software clients such as
VLC or Mplayer.
MPEG Gearbox ASI/IP and MPEG Gearbox IP/IP are typically deployed
in "closed" systems such as hotels, universities,
and corporations, where bandwidth is dedicated and is used
for this purpose only.
"We are proud to be shipping the new MPEG Gearbox systems,
which are very cost-efficient for streaming ASI or IP content,"
stated Laszlo Zoltan, Sales Manager for DVEO. "We recommend
them for cable companies, telco TV, and IPTV on dedicated
networks." MPEG Gearbox ASI/IP, MPEG Gearbox ASI/ASI,
and MPEG Gearbox IP/IP provide PID filtering of all unwanted
traffic, and include an easy-to-use GUI for operation. The
H.264 transcoders can also be used as PAL to NTSC converters.
