    14848 - Overview

    The VITEC MGW Ace Encoder is a professional grade HEVC / H.265 hardware encoder in a compact, portable streaming appliance. Designed to support a diverse set of video streaming applications, the Ace Encoder features a wide range of inputs, including SDI, HDMI, DVI and composite.

    HEVC Streaming Reduces IPTV Bandwidth Costs
    Whether it's live news broadcasting from the field, point-to-point contribution of HD video, live streaming from or within sports venues, or distribution of mission-critical imagery, demand for high quality real-time video is growing. MGW Ace Encoder's cutting-edge HEVC compression and streaming capabilities enable broadcasters, AV teams, corporate IT as well as military forces and government agencies to drastically reduce Operating Expenses (OPEX).

    Best-in Class HEVC Video Quality And Latency
    Powered by VITEC's HEVC GEN2+, an all-hardware compression chip, the MGW Ace Encoder sets new industry standards in video quality, bit rate, and latency. This revolutionary encoder provides best-in-class HEVC video quality up to 4:2:2 10-bit, and an encoding latency down to 16ms glass-to-glass in Ultra Low Latency (ULL) mode.

    Ultra Low Latency Over the Internet
    Whether for covering an event or for sensitive applications, the MGW Ace Encoder is designed to provide the best possible viewing experience. Thanks to its ULL mode, the Ace Encoder delivers unprecedented low glass-to-glass latency even over lossy networks or the Internet.

    Flexible Connectivity Options with H.264 Backward Compatibility
    The MGW Ace Encoder integrates with any video environment and offers a large selection of input, including 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, SD-SDI, DVI, HDMI and Composite video as well as analog and digital audio (embedded and discrete). The on-board hardware scaler can be used for real-time downscaling, cropping, frame-sampling delivering an optimised video output for your application.

    A built-in video matrix enables routing of video sources to both the HEVC and H.264 compression cores for simultaneous H.265 and H.264 streaming. As a result, the Ace Encoder allows bandwidth efficient point-topoint H.265 streaming concurrently with H.264 RTMP streaming for large audience distribution through a Content Delivery Network (CDN). Certified on Akamai's CDN, MGW Ace Encoder ensures an optimal quality of service.

    JITC Certified - KLV / STANAG Metadata Ingest for Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Applications
    VITEC's MGW Ace Encoder was the world's first all-hardware HEVC ISR encoding system to receive the JITC certification, ensuring it delivers a HEVC MISB-Compliant IP stream. The industrial-grade design combined with the low power consumption allows high-quality Full Motion Video (FMV) streams to be delivered from the field through the most constrained network links. The secondary H.264 compression core allows Ace to deploy the next-generation ISR encoding solution while continuing to support legacy end-points and older IPTV receive suites.
