Second-Generation HEVC – World’s Best HEVC Video Quality
VITEC will demonstrate its second- generation HEVC codec (GEN2) powering its MGW Ace encoder — the industry’s first portable HEVC hardware-based encoder, multi-award winning and field-proven streaming appliance. GEN2 is setting new quality standards in the industry, surpassing the second best HEVC codec competitor by 20 percent.
Point-To-Point HEVC Streaming Solution
The MGW Ace Encoder and Decoder is the industry’s first entirely portable, hardware-based end-to-end 4:2:2 HEVC encode/decode solution. Using VITEC’s proprietary second-generation HEVC Codec (GEN2), the powerful, yet compact MGW Ace Encoder provides an unmatched level of pristine video quality. In addition to offering unprecedented HEVC bandwidth-efficient compression, the MGW Ace Encoder offers H.264 encoding capabilities to support legacy applications. With a wide selection of I/Os and low power consumption using VITEC’s HEVC compression chip, it’s a perfect solution for streaming video, audio, and KLV metadata while in the field or on the move. For point-to-point applications, when paired with MGW Ace Decoder, the solution delivers bandwidth-efficient, artifact-free video streaming over any network, including the internet, with embedded Pro-MPEG FEC or Zixi™ error-correction capabilities.
4K HEVC Encoding/Decoding
Using the latest HEVC compression, the MGW Vision delivers an UHD IPTV contribution solution for several markets including broadcasting, in-house IPTV, and enterprise — anywhere UHD is critical. This IPTV encoder is designed with support for 4:2:2 10 bits, providing flawless video quality that is especially important for any broadcast applications. It provides one channel of 4K or four channels of HD. When paired with the MGW Decoder, the solution enables 4K60p 4:2:2 10 bits point-to-point streaming.
