Path 1 Announces Pro-MPEG Compliant Vx8000 Video Over IP
April 22, 2005
San Diego, CA - Path 1 Network Technologies announced availability of its Vx8000 Video-over-IP Gateway, a multi-port, bi-directional solution for live Internet and broadcast applications.
The Vx8000 enables delivery of real-time, broadcast-quality MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 video in both standard (SD) and high sefinition (HD) formats to remote locations over public and private IP networks, the company describes.
The Vx8000 uses the latest standards-compliant techniques for forward error correction (FEC) that adheres to the Pro-MPEG Code of Practice (COP 3) for live broadcast applications. This FEC scheme is designed to compensate for IP network jitter, packet loss, duplicate packets and out-of-order packets so that video quality and integrity are not compromised as content is delivered in real-time. With its multi-port and bi-directional capabilities, a single Vx8000 supports eight simultaneous ASI ports that would otherwise require eight separate IP gateways to deliver the same functionality. Because it is standards-based, the Vx8000 is also fully interoperable with virtually any type of networking equipment and can be deployed into any existing broadcast infrastructure.
