Functionality

MGW 2000e transmits multiple channels of live TV and video over IP networks. It can receive up to six live analog or SDI signals, encode them in real-time to MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 and then stream them over an IP network in multicast or unicast mode. With MGW 2000e, organizations can utilize their IP networks for business TV, training, and corporate communications.

Web-Based Remote Management

MGW 2000e 's remote management system enables the configuration, operation and monitoring of multiple streams via a Web-based management application. Alternatively, system integrators can develop customized front-ends using MGW 2000e ActiveX controls and DirectShow development tools.

Advanced Capabilities

MGW 2000e combines ease-of-use with advanced features and top video quality, giving you all you need to set up a TV-quality streaming solution. Low latency allows instantaneous communication and video delivery - a crucial element of training and business TV applications. By supporting both the Session Announcement Protocol (SAP) and Session Description Protocol (SDP), video channels streamed by the MGW 2000e automatically trigger the player, allowing you to easily choose between live and scheduled programming. MGW 2000e 's traffic shaping mechanism optimizes the connection, enabling the best video quality over any network.
