Functionality
MGW 2000e transmits multiple channels of live TV and video over IP
networks. It can receive up to six live analog or SDI signals, encode
them in real-time to MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 and then stream them over an IP
network in multicast or unicast mode. With MGW 2000e , organizations
can utilize their IP networks for business TV, training, and corporate
communications.
Web-Based Remote Management
MGW 2000e 's remote management system enables the configuration,
operation and monitoring of multiple streams via a Web-based management
application. Alternatively, system integrators can develop customized
front-ends using MGW 2000e ActiveX controls and DirectShow development
tools.
TV Quality Video 24 Hours a day, 7 Days a Week
MGW 2000e combines ease-of-use with advanced features and top video
quality, giving you all you need to set up a TV-quality streaming
solution. 24 by 7 reliability means minimal down time and maintenance.
Low latency allows instantaneous communication and video delivery - a
crucial element of training and business TV applications. By supporting
both the Session Announcement Protocol (SAP) and Session Description
Protocol (SDP), video channels streamed by the MGW 2000e ,
automatically trigger the player, allowing you to easily choose between
live and scheduled programming. And MGW 2000e 's traffic shaping
mechanism optimizes the connection, enabling the best video quality
over any network.
