AVN422 HD/SD H.264 Encoder - HDMI Input

AVN422 HD/SD H.264 Encoder - HDMI Input Visionary Solutions’ AVN422 H.264 Encoder transforms live video sources into full-screen, full resolution, Internet Protocol Digital Video, compatible with multicast, webcast and video-on-demand protocols. This high quality H.264 video encoder is suitable for all applications requiring cost-effective, low bit rate, HD or SD video distribution over IP networks.  A new Low Latency Module can reduce latency by up to 80% enabling end to end latency as low as 140ms. The AVN422 is a key component of Visionary Solutions’ modular, end-to-end PackeTV® IPTV ecosystem, which is the ideal solution for any organization looking to deliver and manage real-time and recorded video over virtually any network. Modular FlexibilityThe AVN422 features modular firmware architecture, which lowers the base price by allowing the user to purchase only those features they need at the moment, while maintaining the flexibility to upgrade in the future as requirements change. The list of optional add-on modules currently include 720p, 1080i (with 1080p @24 support), 1080p @60, Forward Error Correction (FEC), and Low Latency. Superior Audio/Video QualityH.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC) hardware compression and Visionary Solutions’ optimized transmission technology provide a high or standard definition, full frame rate, IP video stream. The stream can be viewed by an unlimited number of clients on a LAN or WAN provided that bandwidth is available. Image resolutions areconfigurable based upon purchased modules. The base model includes 480i SD encoding. Optional modules allow FEC support and image resolutions to be configured up to 720p, 1080i (with 1080p @24 support) or full 1080p at 60 frames per second. The total bit rate can be configured from 5 to 20 Mbps for HD and 2 to 10 Mbps for SD. The audio compression is either AAC (128 to 512 kbps audio encoding, average bitrate) or MPEG-1 Layer 2 (64 to 384 kbps audio encoding) with up to 48 kHz sample rate. Video InputsThe AVN422 includes one HDMI input (DVI-D with optional adaptor cable) for connecting video and audio source equipment. Forward Error CorrectionFor superior image quality and reliability in the most demanding network video environments, the AVN422, with optional FEC module, incorporates SMPTE-2022 Pro-MPEG FEC Code of Practice # 3, Release 1 and 2. This allows FEC enabled receivers to monitor the stream and recover missing packets. Audio InputsA terminal block connector provides audio inputs for Balanced and Unbalanced connections. This allows for easy onsite connections regardless of the cabling outputs of the audio source. The HDMI input can carry audio as well. External Device ConnectionsThe AVN422 includes a serial connection via an RJ-45 connector. This connector can be used as an RS-232 port (full duplex, no hand shaking) or an RS-422 (full-duplex) port. These ports allow the AVN422 to interface with external devices such as terminal emulation equipment. Management & ConfigurationThe AVN422 is easy to access and configure through the Browser Interface, and an optional AVN Control Protocol (API) is available for qualified customers. TCP/IP, HTTP, and other Internet-related protocols are supported. The Console Interface can be used for network configuration only (IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, and DNS), and not general device control. IPTV Media Processing Platform (MPP) ComponentThe AVN422 is a component of the MPP from Visionary Solutions. The MPP is a high density rack mountable blade system. The MPP1700 platform holds up to 17 single slot encoder blades, or a combination of dual and single slot blades. The MPP200 has a single power source and can hold two single slot encoder blades or one dual slot blade.     Product Documents & Videos Spec Sheet Click to Download User Manual Click to Download Quick Start Guide Click to Download AVN Encoder Comparison Chart Click to Download
