MGW Micro Premium
Low-Latency Multi-Channel Compact H.264 Appliance
Featuring TurboVideo™ Low Delay Encoding Technology
Faster, denser, more powerful and more cost-effective - MGW Micro Premium is
Optibase’s most advanced industrial-grade, MPEG-4 H.264 portable encoding and streaming appliance ever. With TurboVideo™ technology, MGW Micro
Premium is designed for low latency distribution of high-definition and standard-definition video sources across the enterprise, utilizing minimal bandwidth while
preserving broadcast-quality video up to Full HD 1080 resolution.
Market Leader in Streaming Capacity
MGW Micro Premium boosts powerful hardware-based video compression engines that encode and stream one HD source or up to four SD sources in a small
form factor, making it the most compact, professional-grade H.264 AVC encoder in the market.
Best-in-Class Connectivity Options
MGW Micro Premium offers the highest flexibility with video inputs including 3G, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, DVI, HDMI and Composite, with digital embedded or analog
audio in a single appliance. A built-in video matrix and scaler enables the operator to take a single video source and encode it up to four times with different
resolutions and frame rates, with optional on-the-fly downscaling of HD source to SD streams.
High-Performance Appliance for Mission-Critical Applications
MGW Micro Premium is the ideal encoding and streaming platform for organizational networks, remote locations, mobile vehicles or the most extreme military
environments, optimized for mission critical ingestion and dissemination of Full Motion Video (FMV) with optional metadata information. Its professional-grade,
rugged enclosure combined with Optibase’s 6-th generation H.264 HD/SD video compression codec, offers durability, quality of service and best-in-class video
quality with less than 65 milliseconds encoding latency, powered by Vitec Multimedia’s TurboVideo™ technology. MGW Micro Premium’s ultra-small, airborne-
ready footprint makes it a perfect solution for portable applications.
Fully Secure End-to-End IP Video Delivery Solution
MGW Micro Premium can be used as a stand-alone high quality, low delay encoder or in conjunction with Optibase EZ TV and FITIS IPTV Systems to provide a
fully secure end-to-end IP video delivery solution utilizing its real-time AES-256/128-bit encryption capability. Using the low latency decoding capabilities of
Optibase EZ TV and FITIS PC Players, operators can achieve end-to-end latency of less than 140 milliseconds with HD 1080p video or with standard definition
content.
