Canopus Delivers MediaEdge-LEB
December 23, 2004
San Jose, CA - Canopus Corporation announced MediaEdge-LEB, a stand-alone video encoding appliance that provides realtime distribution of live video across a network.
Working either as a stand-alone network encoding device or in conjunction with a MediaEdge-SVS2 server, MediaEdge-LEB encodes any analog video source into MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 and can instantly rebroadcast the encoded stream across a network for playback on a MediaEdge2 network via the MediaEdge-STB2 set-top box or the MediaEdge-SWT2 software client.
MediaEdge-LEB is ideal for live event broadcast of analog video from any network location, and eliminates the requirement for the video feed to be recorded and registered first to a MediaEdge-SVS2 server. With MediaEdge-LEB, any MediaEdge2 client can accept a live video feed at any network location, such as auditoriums, lecture rooms, sports stadiums or remote campuses. MediaEdge-LEB's built-in server provides client access to the encoded video stream, and the unit can be easily configured through the front panel or over the network via a Web browser.
When used with a MediaEdge-SVS2 server, MediaEdge-LEB provides the ability to encode video from a remote location, such as a video library, and then deliver the content to the MediaEdge2 server for distribution across a MediaEdge2 network.
MediaEdge-LEB's advanced circuitry delivers high-quality, real-time MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 video encoding and ensures perfect audio and video synchronization of the broadcast content. The unit supports NTSC and PAL video and provides unicast and multicast distribution capabilities.
MediaEdge-LEB will be available in December from Canopus authorized system integrators.
