9990-DEC-MPEG

MPEG4 AVC and MPEG2 Decoder with ASI and IP Inputs and SDI Outputs

CDI-9220

  • Rear Module

The Cobalt® 9990-DEC-MPEG MPEG4 AVC and MPEG2 Decoder with ASI and IP Inputs and SDI Outputs provides a high performance real-time
MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 SD and HD video decoding openGear® solution. Its design is practically future-proof and decodes traditional video formats such as UDP and RTP (MPEG Transport Stream) as well as Internet and Mobile formats such as RTMP (Adobe® Flash) and HLS (Apple® HTTP Live Streaming).

The 9990-DEC-MPEG supports newer cameras that output RTMP and security cameras that output RTSP. Its high-density, low power design saves on operating expenses, with up to 10 cards installed in a 20-slot openGear® frame.

IP and DVB-ASI input streams are supported, with outputs as ASI, DVB-ASI, SDI, HDMI, and CVBS (for SD streams) using MPEG4 AVC or MPEG2 decoding. The 9990-DEC-MPEG can decode from several audio codecs and provides Dolby® pass-thru. SMPTE-2038 processing allows de-embedding SMPTE-2038 generic ancillary data packets.

Full user DashBoard™ remote control allows full status and control access locally or across a standard Ethernet network. A complete SNMP MIB is also included.

FEATURES:

  • Comprehensive MPEG decoding solution – MPEG4 AVC and MPEG2 to ASI, SDI, HDMI and CVBS with built-in audio codecs. Convenience IP output also.

  • IP reception of unicast or multicast

  • DVB-ASI Turnaround to IP and ASI with SPTS Splitting

  • Supports RTMP and RTSP sources

  • MPEG-1 Layer II, AAC -LC, AAC-HE, E-AC-3 and AC-3 audio codecs standard (Dolby pass-thru; Dolby decode option available)

  • SMPTE-2038 processing allows de-embedding SMPTE-2038 generic ancillary data packets

  • SCTE-35 to SCTE-104 conversion

  • Support for RTP/ARQ interoperability with +RTP/ARQ Cobalt Encoder option. (Decoder +ARQ license included standard.)

  • Support for selecting desired video PID in multi-angle streams

  • Several options available for scalable configuring

  • SNMP MIB included

  • Low-power/high-density design – less than 14 Watts per card

  • Remote control/monitoring via Dashboard™ software

  • Five year warranty
