The Product
MGW Ace Decoder is an advanced industrial-grade, HEVC (H.265) decoding appliance.
MGW Ace Decoder is the preferred Hardware decoder for the MGW Ace HEVC Encoder. The
MGW Ace Decoder is designed for low latency decoding of high-definition and
standard-definition video sources across the enterprise, utilizing minimal bandwidth while
preserving broadcast-quality video up to full HD 1080p60 resolution.
The decoding and streaming appliance supports a wide range of streaming protocols
including UDP TS, RTP TS, RTP ES, Pro-MPEG and Zixi™ streaming with Error Correction
mechanism for ensuring secure, error-free video over public networks.
Pro-MPEG SMPTE-2022
Pro-MPEG SMPTE-2022 is an industry standard Forward Error Correction (FEC)
protocol that uses a one or two dimensional XOR algorithm. It sends redundant
information to accommodate for packet-loss during real-time video streaming. This
FEC dictates that at least one column, and at most twenty, and at least four rows, and
at most twenty, can be present. Also, the total number of packets in one matrix cannot
exceed hundred packets. The Pro-MPEG SMPTE-2022 streaming mode is capable of
correcting network errors up to 5% with an average end-to-end latency of 1.5 seconds.
Pro-MPEG technology is included with the product.
Zixi™
Zixi™ error correction is a unique proprietary technology offers secure, reliable
transmission of broadcast-quality HD/SD video over unmanaged internet connections
and private IP networks. The Zixi™ protocol provides real-time protection from
network jitter, packet-loss and latency to ensure error-free video transmission.
