VITEC,
a worldwide leader in advanced video encoding and streaming solutions,
today announced that its compact, professional-grade MGW Ace IP decoder
is now available as an openGear® card. The
modular and open-architecture platform from Ross Video makes for easy
integration within production studios and broadcast facilities. The MGW
Ace Decoder OG broadcast-quality, dense IP decoder supports the latest
bandwidth-efficient HEVC/H.265 and legacy H.264/AVC compression
standards. In booth SL6005 at the 2019 NAB Show, VITEC will showcase the
new form factor as part of its zero-delay HEVC contribution solution,
which includes the MGW Ace Encoder, MGW Ace Decoder, MGW Diamond, and
VITEC Playout Server.
“Following our recent acquisition of T-21 Technologies coupled with our
commitment to the broadcast market, this new offering is a natural
expansion within our HEVC contribution solution,” said Richard Bernard,
Senior Product Manager, VITEC. “Now customers can choose the form factor
to suit their application, whether that’s our portable and robust
hardware-based MGW Ace Decoder perfectly suited for field use, or the
openGear card for fixed/multichannel installation within broadcast
facilities. Both models provide best-in-class, ultra-low-latency video
quality over rich and industry-standard audio and video connectivity.”
“It is great to see this new product from our newest openGear partner,
VITEC, which addresses a key application in compression and
decompression,” said Nestor Amaya, Vice President, Signal Processing
Gear at Ross Video. “This is further proof that customers can rely on
openGear as the industry platform of choice, with the best-in-class
modules from the widest array of manufacturers, under our unified
DashBoard control system. We congratulate VITEC on this new and
innovative openGear product.”
Whether it’s used to cover an event or in sensitive applications, MGW
Ace Decoder OG is designed to provide the best possible viewing
experience and never miss a single frame. The decoder provides 4:2:2
10-bit HEVC and H.264 decoding from IP or DVB-ASI as well as genlock
reference support. It is 4K-ready with dual 12G-SDI outputs. To support
contribution or any multichannel applications, where density and
reliability matter, the 2-RU openGear chassis can host up to 10 decoders
and offers redundant power supply. The built-in time-sync function
ensures flawlessly synchronized playback of multiple independent streams
across several MGW Ace Decoder OG cards. For remote production, when
paired with the MGW Ace Encoder, the pair delivers zero-latency IP
contribution with 16-millisecond glass-to-glass latency in HEVC 4:2:2
10-bit, powered by the VITEC HEVC GEN2+ codec.
