MPEG Streaming Over IP Networks
Delivering MPEG formatted video and audio has never been easier. Whether it's corporate training, a new product launch, or a company wide executive address, VBrick's MPEG appliances enable video delivery with the broadcast quality of MPEG-2 over your enterprise network or the internet.

Capabilities
VBrick’s MPEG Appliance is based on the award winning VB6000 platform and provides multiple capabilities in one portable and reliable appliance.

Encoding
Digitizing and compressing a video signal for delivery over an IP Network

Decoding
Receiving and decompressing a video stream from an IP Network with automated generation of on screen program display

Serving
Integrated video server provides up to 200 simultaneous streams via RTSP

Multicasting
Multicast live video, or continuously pump a stored video (MPEG-2), directly from the appliance

Recording
Record video that has been encoded or received over the network via FTP (MPEG-2, requires optional hard drive), recorded video may be forwarded for VOD publishing or archiving via FTP to multiple servers

Two Way Collaboration
Inherent sub 250ms delays and built in video teleconferencing capabilities, including picture-in-picture, enable applications such as video telepresence

Format Flexibility
VBrick MPEG appliances support NTSC and PAL video, 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios, a wide range of video resolutions, frame rates, and bit rates – including the ability to meter the output of the stream to fit the unique streaming requirements of any network

Remote Management
Complete remote configuration and management solution via SNMP, or enable automated configuration download (new) via periodic configuration polling

Benefits
- Easy to configure and use – streaming in a matter of minutes
- Robust, reliable, appliance minimizes downtime and IT support requirements
- Automatic on-screen program display (decoder)
- Format flexibility enables portability and adaptability to any network requirement
