AVN210 - IPTV SD MPEG-2 encoder, rack mountable

The AVN200 is a 1RU single channel IPTV SD MPEG-2 encoder capable of streaming to unicast or multicast destinations.

AVN210 (IPTV MPEG-2 over IP rack mountable encoder) streams real time DVD quality video over LAN or WAN infrastructures. Plug a video source directly into the unit, plug into the network via the RJ-45 connection, and stream real-time DVD quality video over your LAN or WAN. The AVN210 is suitable for applications requiring cost effective, high bit rate video distribution over IP networks. It streams video at 30 fps with full screen resolution of 720x480 NTSC, or 25 fps of 720x576 PAL or with selectable reduced resolutions to conserve bandwidth.

With both XLR Balanced, and RCA Unbalanced audio inputs, the AVN210 features configurable pre-amp, volume, tone, treble, bass and balance.

Use any standards compliant method to decode and view the AVN210 encoded IP network video stream, such as a PC with PackeTV™ software or a TV monitor with an IP Set Top Box.

The AVN210 has a unique embedded platform that enables consistent full motion video preserved from: delay, jitter, packet losses, and packet out-of-order instabilities. 

Features

• Superior Audio/Video Quality. MPEG-2 hardware compression and Visionary Solutions’ optimized transmission technology provides a video image at full frame rates and D1 resolution. The video stream can be viewed by an unlimited number of clients on a LAN or WAN with 25 fps PAL or 30 fps NTSC assured, provided that bandwidth is available. Available image resolutions are: 720x480, 480x480, 352x480, 352x240 NTSC; and 720x576, 480x576, 352x576, 352x288 PAL. The video bit rate can be configured from 1.5 Mbit/s to 7.5 Mbit/s. The audio compression is MPEG-1 Layer 2 audio encoding at either 256 or 384 kbps with a 48 KHz sample rate.
  

• Video Inputs. The AVN210 includes one BNC composite input, one RCA composite input and one  S-Video input for connecting video source equipment.

• Audio Inputs. The AVN210 provides both Balanced audio with its XLR connectors and Unbalanced audio with its RCA connectors. All audio parameters are under user control including: balance, pre-amp, volume, tone, bass, and treble.

• External Device Connections. The AVN210 includes an RS-232 serial connector (full duplex) to interface with a variety of external devices.

• Management & Configuration of the device is accomplished by any of four methods, PackeTV™ Manager, console menus, a Web interface, or the AVN Control Protocol API. TCP/IP, HTTP, and other Internet-related protocols are supported.
  

• PackeTV™ Manager (one (1) licenses included). PackeTV™ Manager software works in conjunction with the AVN210, enabling live viewing, recording, and extensive AVN210 control and configuration. With username and password control, administrators can select and lock an AVN210’s properties for added security.
  

• PackeTV™ Configuration Utility (included) enables quick and efficient setup and mass reconfiguration of key settings including bit rate, video resolution and multicast destination IP addresses.
