InfoComm 2016: Vitec To Showcase Point-to-Point HEVC, Ultra-Low-Latency Streaming

On display at InfoComm 2016 will be VITEC’s MGW Ace appliance, the industry’s first 100% hardware-based HEVC portable device for encoding and streaming video, and the MGW D265, a portable HEVC IP decoder. The powerful yet compact MGW Ace appliance provides high-end video quality with its HEVC (H.265) bandwidth-efficient compression as well as legacy H.264 encoding capabilities. With a wide selection of I/Os and low power consumption using VITEC’s HEVC compression chip, it’s an ideal solution for streaming video, audio, and KLV metadata while in the field or on the move.

When MGW Ace is coupled with the MGW D265, the devices become an end-to-end, on-the-go streaming solution with embedded Pro-MPEG FEC or Zixi error correction capabilities for markets including enterprise, sports entertainment, house of worship, broadcast, military, and more. For worship and live event distribution applications, VITEC now provides industry-standard RTMP streaming to distribute content to a large audience via Content Delivery Network (CDN).

“As streaming technology continues to evolve, end users are seeking complete end-to-end streaming solutions from a single vendor,” says Philippe Wetzel, CEO of VITEC. “To that end, at InfoComm 2016 we will be highlighting our comprehensive IPTV Sports Venue Solution with its new digital signage capabilities as well as our House of Worship Solution now featuring integration with Renewed Vision™ ProVideoServer. Our solutions are easy to install and manage, and offer a seamless, scalable streaming platform for applications and budgets of every size.”

IPTV Solution for Sports Venues and Enterprise Customers
At InfoComm 2016, VITEC will show the latest enhancements to its IPTV Sports Venue Solution that allows any stadium or arena to stream high-quality live, on-demand, or recorded video over its existing IP infrastructure — creating an effective sponsorship inventory by turning every display into a digital asset.

Based on VITEC’s EZ TV platform, the IPTV Sports Venue Solution features low latency across all displays, synchronized playback, efficient scalability, and intuitive Web-based admin capabilities. EZ TV’s scalable architecture provides customers with a complete solution for managing live feeds, on-demand content, and an unlimited number of digital signage layouts, as well as effectively distributing to thousands of IPTV and signage end-points, PC users, and mobile clients.

Multi-Site Video Streaming Solution for Houses of Worship
VITEC’s IPTV House of Worship Solution enables houses of worship (HOW) to extend their reach across multiple campuses while fostering a sense of community among all church members.

The solution bundles VITEC portable encoders/decoders with the Zixi streaming protocol, enabling reliable, cost-effective streaming for HOWs of any size. Now integrated with Renewed Vision ProVideoServer, the solution also allows churches to record one or more high-quality encoded streams from the main campus, complete with embedded time code and multi-channel audio, and play back those streams at the satellite campus at any time.
