M-SERIES MPEG ENCODERS

Models M480M720M720D

At iView Data, we feel that high quality video isn?t something that should cost a fortune. That?s why the M-Series family of MPEG encoders was designed. Utilizing the same cutting-edge C-Cube DVxpert II RISC processor as encoders that cost twice as much, the M-Series encoder is the perfect solution for those that want professional video without breaking the bank or budget. With a variety of input configurations and encoding parameters available, the M-Series is the obvious choice for end-users, systems integrators, and companies needing an OEM encoder for content creation, distance learning, telemedicine, asset archival and DVD authoring etc...

M-Series encoders ship with StreamTool, a powerful application for Windows2000 and XP that allows the user complete control of the encoding parameters.

The M-Series are capable of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 encoding, with data rates in the 120Kbit to 15Mbit per second range, with video quality that is second to none. It is possible to incorporate as many as five (or more) encoders in the same video server. These broadcast quality encoders will run reliably 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

From basic configuration, advanced filtering and color correction to RTP streaming? you are in complete control with StreamTool. For the OEM environment, iView provides an SDK called StreamSmith. With StreamSmith you can write your own innovative applications to control the encoder to your specifications quickly and very efficiently using C programming tools.

C-Cube's DVxpert encoder chip on our PCI-based encoder cards to assure the best video images in a 24/7 streaming video environment and for VideoCD, Super VCD, and DVD authoring.

iView Data M-Series MPEG encoders have been designed to be 100% compatible to the NS-series boards. Since these boards are fully compatible, the M-Series boards can be substituted in current applications where you have an investment in software design.

There are several models to choose from allowing maximum flexibility to meet your need and budget. These NT-based encoders incorporate the latest DVxpert silicon from C-Cube Microsystems.

The M-Series encoders are designed from the ground up to support multiple encoders per PC with fault tolerance and reliability you can count on.

The full M-Series boards are compatible with leading streaming solutions from InfoValue QVS and Streaming21.
