JVC Intros New MPEG-4 Codec
February 18, 2003
Wayne, NJ - JVC Professional Products has introduced its DM-NC40U, an MPEG-4 codec for sending video and audio over IP (LAN, WAN and Internet).
The DM-NC40U, a stand-alone appliance, plugs directly into an IP connection to establish a real-time communication system.
As a solution for video and audio Internet delivery, the DM-NC40U unit delivers an ISMA Compliant MPEG-4 stream, and provides AAC LC audio, the manufacturer describes. This means the stream makes an efficient use of bandwidth and can be played by all popular media players (QuickTime, Real Media and Windows Media), so no special additional software is needed. A variable bitrate allows the user to adjust picture quality and bandwidth requirement. And unicast and multicast capabilities make it possible to create content that can be distributed to one or many.
Because it has the ability to send and receive at the same time, two units can be used—one on each end—to create a teleconferencing system with an incredibly short delay (less than 300ms). Video and audio are delivered via BNC for display in a standard video monitor. Picture-in-picture capability allows viewing both feeds in each screen.
