Their reputation for delivering the highest possible performance and reliability has made VBrick decoders the network video appliance of choice for a wide range of applications, from live event broadcasts to distance learning. Flexibility is also a calling card of VBrick decoders. They have models to give you a choice of network interface: Ethernet, ATM, T1/E1, satellite or microwave. They also give you options for all the flavors of MPEG:
MPEG-1 for VCR-quality images
MPEG-2 for DVD-quality images .

 

Hardware Encoders/Decoders
VBrick encoder/decoders add tremendous versatility to their reputation for delivering the highest possible performance and reliability. With their ability to both send and receive MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video images for display on TVs and PCs, VBrick encoder/decoders are the network video appliance of choice for a wide range of applications, from employee training, to video conferencing, to distance learning. Flexibility is also a calling card of VBrick decoders. They have models to give you a choice of network interface: Ethernet, ATM, T1/E1, satellite or microwave. They also give you two MPEG options:
MPEG-1 for VCR-quality images
MPEG-2 for DVD-quality images.

 

Video-On-Demand Systems
EtherneTV-NXG is a video-on-demand server for MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 video files. It is a Linux system (Kasenna) server for delivering video on demand to the full range of TVs, PC, Macs, and video-enabled networked devices. As a component of the EtherneTV system, a unified user interface lets you search, select and play videos from the largest of video libraries. And since it’s been designed to handle the most intensive, high-volume video-on-demand applications, you can easily expand its capacity with optional storage devices. As a part of a networked video-on-demand solution suitable for diverse applications, VBrick VOD servers are designed to seamlessly interoperate with VBrick MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 encoders, their VBXcast MPEG-4 encoder, StreamPlayer software decoders, and Windows Media Player with the VBrick plug-in, as well as other software MPEG players and servers.
