Optibase MGW Transcoder is a multi-stream, hardware-based transcoding platform for bandwidth efficient dissemination of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) video feeds. Designed for mission-critical video, the Optibase MGW Transcoder processes high definition and standard definition FMV streams with low latency while retaining KLV metadata intact. Read more 

• Dissemination of HD/SD Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) video with metadata
• Scaling of resolution, frame rates and CBR to VBR for effective distribution
• Transcode legacy MPEG-2 streams to highly compressed H.264 IP streams, saving 50% or more on bandwidth utilization without compromising video quality
• Reflection / replication of IP streams to multiple logical VLANs, to multiple unique remote destinations, and to mobile devices

Benefits

• All-digital transcoding data path ensures uncompromised SD and HD video quality
• Secondary stream engine enables operators to create high and low bit rate services from each IP source for delivery to local, remote and mobile users
• KLV metadata pass-through (synchronous and asynchronous)
• Distributes output streams to up to seven different unicast/multicast destinations
• Flexible IP input formats: MPEG-2 (SD and HD) and MPEG-4 H.264 (SD and HD)
• High-density platform with redundant power supplies and hot-swappable components

Key Features

• CoT/KLV Metadata Pass-Through – maintains metadata during transcoding processes
• Hardware scalar converts HD to HD and HD to SD resolutions and frame rates
• Uncompromised secondary stream encoding – up to 1080p
• Built-in AES 256/128-bit encryption enables operator to scramble output streams for secure delivery to Optibase EZ TV and FITIS users
• Auto start mode for fast service recovery
• SNMP remote management
• Optimized for secure government IT environments, conforms with DISA security guidelines
• Transcodes video for streaming to compliant mobile devices over 3G/4G LTE/WiFi networks or open Internet
