VITEC 18097 MGW Diamond - 4K & Multi-Channel SD/HD HEVC/H.264 Encoder

VITEC 18097 MGW Diamond - H.264 - 4x HD or 1x 4K
is a small, power-efficient quad channel HD or one channel 4K HEVC video encoder ideal for field-based applications. It features a powerful encoding engine with the ability to output up to eight streams simultaneously. MGW Diamond is ideally suited to any multichannel application where stringent size, weight and power (SWaP) characteristics are demanded.
MGW Diamond captures up to 4x 3G/HD/SD-SDI or Composite inputs and streams live up to 8 channels, addressing diverse applications within sports, enterprise, defense and surveillance markets. Featuring Ultra High Definition and High Definition range (HDR) support, MGW Diamond can capture and stream 4K60p HDR10 or HLG video from either its 4x3G-SDI or 12G-SDI inputs.
For data-sensitive applications, the MGW Diamond supports KLV / STANAG metadata ingest from various sources (SDI, IP or Serial), real-time image cropping and video scaling, Forward Error Correction (FEC) streaming and JITC compliant output streams. It packs all the needed capabilities for delivering any type of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) or Situational Awareness (SA) video generated by ground vehicles, manned or unmanned airborne platforms and marine vessels.
Features:
Low latency streaming from 4x SDI/Composite sources simultaneously
Support for Ultra High Definition (4K) and High Definition Range (HDR)
Up to 8x output streams
HEVC (H.265) compression support to reduce network bandwidth utilization by up to 50% compared to H.264
Stream protection for reliable video/audio and metadata transmission (Zixi, SRT, RIST and Pro-MPEG)
KLV / STANAG metadata ingest from SDI, IP plus multiplexing - JITC Compliant
Compact, low-power hardware design - optimized for field use (14W)
