reCoder/IP™ is Ideal for Multicasting in Hotels, Hospitals, Restaurants, and Universities

San Diego, California — DVEO, the broadcast division of Computer Modules, Inc. (CMI), will demonstrate their new analog to MPEG-4/H.264 encoder with IP output at InfoComm, the world’s largest audio-visual trade show, June 9-11, in Las Vegas, Nevada, in Booth N1576.

Designed for multicasting over private IP networks, the reCoder/IP™ is a real time HD and SD H.264/AVC encoder with YPrPb or composite input and IP output. The system re-encodes analog video feeds into H.264 and delivers them to IP set-top boxes, which convert the feeds to HDMI and send them to multiple television monitors. It features remote web-based management, automatic standards detection of HD (1080i or 720p) or SD input, and a latency of 750 milliseconds.

“We recommend the reCoder/IP to pro-AV systems integrators who install and manage video systems in hotels, hospitals, restaurants, and schools,” stated Laszlo Zoltan, Sales Manager for DVEO. “It’s a reliable and very cost effective encoder. And the H.264 output uses 60 percent less bandwidth than MPEG-2, with the same video quality.”

The reCoder/IP encodes analog to IP at 1 to 12 Mbps. Audio encoding is AAC or Dolby® Digital AC-3. The rack mountable system includes software for web-based remote management. The reCoder/IP is now shipping.

Features
Input: YPrPb (Component) or CVBS (Composite)
Output: Transport stream over IP (UDP)
Compliant with H.264/MPEG-4 AVC standard
Automatic detection of SD or HD input
AAC or Dolby® Digital AC-3 audio encoding

DVEO’s New SD/HD MPEG-2 to H.264
Transcoders to be Featured at
InfoComm, Booth N1576

Newest MPEG Gearbox™ Systems – IP to ASI and SMPTE 310 to IP –
are Now Shipping

San Diego, California — DVEO, the broadcast division of San Diego based Computer Modules, Inc. (CMI), will demonstrate their unique product line of Linux® based MPEG-2 to H.264 transcoders at InfoComm, the world’s largest audio-visual trade show, June 9-11, in Las Vegas, Nevada, in Booth N1576.

Designed for A/V systems integrators and the cable, telco TV, and IPTV industries, MPEG Gearbox™ is DVEO’s new family of broadcast quality MPEG-2 to H.264 transcoders or MPEG-2 to MPEG-2 scalers. Five systems are available: ASI to IP, ASI to ASI, IP to IP, and the newest systems, IP to ASI, and SMPTE 310 (8VSB) to IP.

Each system transcodes one or two HD streams (1080i or 720p) or five to ten SD streams from MPEG-2 to H.264 or vice-versa, and outputs the streams over ASI or IP. The MPEG Gearbox ASI/IP and MPEG Gearbox SMPTE 310/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, AAC/MPEG-4, or AC-3 passthrough.

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 three transcoders with IP output – MPEG Gearbox ASI/IP, MPEG Gearbox IP/IP, and MPEG Gearbox SMPTE 310/IP – generate IP streams that 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 Gearboxes are typically deployed in “closed” systems such as hotels, universities, and corporations, where bandwidth is dedicated and is used for this purpose only.

“We recommend the MPEG Gearbox to systems integrators who need to stream ASI or IP content on dedicated networks,” stated Laszlo Zoltan, Sales Manager for DVEO. “The systems are reliable, easy to use, and very cost efficient.”

MPEG Gearboxes feature very low latency, PID filtering of all unwanted traffic, and a simple GUI for operation. The H.264 transcoders support both NTSC and PAL, and can also be used as PAL to NTSC converters.

Features
Input format can be MPEG-2 or H.264
Output format can be MPEG-2 or H.264
Input: DVB ASI or IP (depending on version)
Output: DVB-ASI or IP (depending on version)
Supports NTSC or PAL
Will work as a PAL to NTSC converter
Transcoding bit rates: 64 Kbps to 12 Mbps
Resolutions: SQVGA, QCIF, QVGA, SIF, VGA, or any custom size up to 1080i
Supports SD or HD input
Up to 1080i HD output
Very low latency
Transcodes one or two HD streams (1080i or 720p) or 5 to 6 SD streams from MPEG-2 to H.264 (CPU dependent) or vice-versa
MPEG Gearbox ASI/IP and MPEG Gearbox SMPTE 310/IP can also receive 1 to 4+ MPEG-2 channels and output them to IP network as MPEG-2 streams
SNMP support
Tested compatible with major brands of H.264 decoders
Audio support: AAC, MPEG audio, or AC-3 passthrough
Settings are remembered when power cycled
Based on embedded Linux®

Note: MPEG Gearbox ASI/IP and MPEG Gearbox IP/IP are typically deployed in “closed” systems where bandwidth is dedicated and is used for this purpose only. They are not designed to work over the public internet.

Fisher Technical Services Inc. announces a live demonstration of their revolutionary motion control system and integrated production technology, Navigator, May 23^rd and 24^th in Van Nuys, CA. The free two-day event will feature several opportunities for industry professionals to converge and interact with FTSI’s award-winning Navigator system, the only fully integrated technology available that seamlessly networks between cinematography, second unit, and special and visual effects departments to achieve ground-breaking cinematic effects.

The two-day program allows unprecedented access to the Las Vegas-based entertainment automation firm’s cutting-edge production software and hardware and to its creator, entertainment engineering expert, Scott Fisher. “We enjoyed presenting at Cinegear in the past but given the broad scope of Navigator’s capabilities we felt an exclusive event in Los Angeles would be the most effective demonstration of the advantages of using our gear and technology,” said Fisher.

In addition to live Navigator camera flight demonstrations using a Red One camera, the schedule of events include an open-house reception, one-on-one production workflow evaluations with Fisher and his team of expert operators, plus casual seminars focusing on how FTSI’s services and technology can streamline and enhance the film-making process. Said Fisher, “Filmmakers want to push the artistic envelope and our equipment allows them to, both creatively and technically, by unifying and synchronizing cinematography with complex stunts, visual, special or mechanical effects to deliver precise control and unlimited repeatability. Plus, Navigator can also control any camera move or effect individually, so the options for how professionals apply our technology are pretty unlimited.”

Fisher Technical Services Inc.’s live demo will take place on in Van Nuys, CA Sunday, May 23^rd from 10:30am to 6:30pm and Monday, May 24^th from 10:00am to 7:00pm at Pictorvision, a leading supplier of aerial stabilized camera systems for the broadcast, entertainment and commercial sectors. Tom Hallman, President of Pictorvision: “I knew FTSI was behind some of the biggest stunts I’ve seen on film recently but it wasn’t until I spent time at their Vegas headquarters that I understood what an impact Navigator is really making in all areas of film production. It’s a pleasure to let them use our new Van Nuys facility to showcase the power and flexibility of their gear and I’m excited Scott will be giving a special presentation specifically for the “Cinners” organization. I don’t think enough people in Hollywood know just how sophisticated motion control has become and with that the new capabilities now available to help filmmakers innovate.”

The two-day event will be capped off by a formal presentation by Scott Fisher Monday from 7:00-9:00pm, where he will address the “Cinners” Cinema Innovators Network as to recent advancements his research and development team have made in motion control for special effects, visual effects, stunts and camera control. Fisher will also reveal how his technology is being used in diverse applications within the live theater, architectural design, theme park and themed entertainment industries.

All events are free and open to the entertainment and technology communities. Refreshments and food will be provided. To RSVP or schedule a private demo during the two-day event please email  FTSIDemoEvent@fishertechnical.com by May 14^th. For full details on the event, please visit www.cinemainnovators.com.
