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.
