Vitec MGW Ace Compact HEVC/H.265 Hardware Encoder

MGW Ace Encoder is the world's first HEVC/H.265 hardware encoder in a professional grade portable streaming appliance. Powered by VITEC HEVC GEN2 encoder, MGW Ace Encoder delivers industry's best video quality enabling users to stream broadcast quality HD/SD video with up to 50% bandwidth savings compared to H.264.

Key Features

• Best-in-class video quality with next-generation HEVC/H.265 compression support (powered by VITEC HEVC GEN2 codec)
• Reduces network bandwidth by up to 50% compared to H.264 (or increases video quality by 100% at same bitrate)
• Reduces costs associated with dedicated Satellite, Cellular, Broadband network pipes
• Supports both HEVC and H.264 - built for the future without losing support for legacy receivers/decoders
• KLV / STANAG metadata ingest and multiplexing - JITC-Compliant
• Transport infrastructure agnostic: Satellite, xDSL, LANs, WANs, 3G/4G/LTE and FTTx
• Portable, low-power hardware design - optimized for field use and for vehicles (28VDC power input)
