Optibase MGW Decoder

MGW Decoder - Multi-Channel IP Stream Decoder


Key Features

MGW Decoder is a multi-channel IP decoder for standard definition MPEG-2 and
MPEG-4 H.264 streams.

The MGW Decoder is the perfect solution for taking IP content into local legacy
RF cable systems and into IPTV encoders for the purpose of re-encoding to
other formats or lower bit rates. Use the dense, 12-channel, rack-mountable platform to
process your video sources while content providers migrate from MPEG-2 to MPEG-4
H.264 content.

With the fast adoption of MPEG-4 H.264, content providers are starting to transition
MPEG-2 uplink facilities to the new, highly efficient compression format. The use of
H.264 IP streams for content delivery over DVB/ASI satellite mediums as well as fiber
pipes allows content providers, TV networks and dedicated satellite services such as
the GBS network to reduce bandwidth costs and serve more content in the existing
bandwidth.
 
The migration to newer format forces cable and IPTV head-ends, corporate, military
bases and government facilities to replace their existing infra-structure with newer
receivers and/or decoders that support MPEG-4 Part-10 compression. The complexity
of H.264 and the numerous variations of encoders in the market require a mature,
reliable decoding solution that will offer density and attractive cost per channel. The
Optibase MGW Decoder is the optimal solution that combines advanced decoding in
a modular, dense design allowing IPTV operators to easily support the transition to
H.264 IP content.
