Vbrick MPEG CODEC
VBricks are a family of compact, low cost 'Video Bricks' and related components. A Vbrick Video Network Appliance is a reliable MPEG Audio/Video Encoder, Decoder, Complete Video Conference System, Multicast IP Server, Multicast IP Client, Terminal Server, ATM end-point, ATM switch, and more.
A VBrick even provides control over remote devices, and it can be controlled via IR remote. In fact, a VBrick is the world's first true multifunction Video Network Appliance. Operating over IP, ATM, Microwave, or T1/E1 networks, VBricks compress standard analog audio & video signals and transports high quality video over a digital network on an end-to-end basis in real time.
A VBrick is fully managed and controlled by VBAdmin, by Telnet, by SNMP, and/or by VBrick's unique ActiveX controls.
Reinstalling the Dongle Driver The license file corresponding to maximum streams and bandwidth you purchased is pre-installed on the server by VBrick. Under normal circumstances you will never have to re-install the license. When you purchase a VOD-W, a dongle key with the proper settings is also included. VBrick’s DME is the networking element of the VBrick Enterprise Video Architecture (VEVA), which spans video capture, distribution, play-out and overall video content management. The DME can be deployed at the edge of a network while being managed centrally by VBrick’s VEMS Mystro media management portal.
Combined with other VBrick components, VBrick offers a feature-rich comprehensive and low cost solution for total MPEG video networking.
All VBricks support NTSC/PAL composite & S-Video. Vbricks support universal international power, carry the CE mark, and are UL and FCC approved. VBricks operate over an extended temperature range of 0 to +70 degrees C.
VBricks are made in the USA
