The Drake PEG-NE24-IP-C are stand-alone MPEG-2 or H.264 digital video encoders with IP-encapsulation via SFP output port. The PEG-NE24-IP encoder is equipped with a single SDI input, where the PEG-NE24-IP-C also comes with composite video along with left and right audio inputs. On both encoders, a second RJ45 10/100 Ethernet port is provided for control and monitoring. Video encoding is available in MPEG-2 or H.264 formats. The PCM-embedded audio from the SDI source can be encoded to either Dolby® Digital, MPEG1-Layer 2 stereo, or AAC stereo. The PEG encoders are capable of outputting resolutions of 480i, 720p, and 1080i. Powered by a separate 110V AC power unit, the PEG encoder is a small, modular, desktop model.
The PEG-NE24-IP-C encoder is available with an optional Zixi output protocol that provides the ability to stream content over an unmanaged network, including the public internet. The Zixi UDP based video-optimized protocol provides professional broadcasters, sports networks, and service providers to adapt to public internet using standard IP networks as a way to ingest and transport broadcast quality video.
