DVEO @ NAB 2012; MultiStreamer for High, Medium, and Low Bit Rate Streams
posted:
DVEO's MultiStreamer encoders create multiple simultaneous high, medium, and low bitrate IP streams and send them to iPads, iPhones, content delivery networks (CDNs), and remote video capture devices. The IP transport streams can be provided with most industry standard protocols, including UDP, RTP, or IGMP, and wrappers such as HLS, RTMP, RTSP, etc. Audio output is AAC, AC-3 pass through, or Ogg Vorbis. DVEO recently added two new audio outputs – optional MP3, or optional “SurCode for Dolby Digital” AC-3.
The MultiStreamer product family now supports numerous video formats. All systems include one GigE IP input. Customers may select an additional input format – 8VSB, Analog, DVB-ASI, SDI/HD-SDI, HDMI, DVB-S+S2, DVB-T+T2, QAM, or DVB-C. They can also select all of the above inputs in one system (MultiStreamer MF Maxi), or a customized combination of inputs.
New for 2012, DVEO has added schedulable input – the systems can receive input at a specified date and time.

“Since introducing the original 1 RU system last July, we have significantly expanded the MultiStreamer product family. We are proud to announce that we are now shipping the MultiStreamer systems in five different configurations,” commented Scott Grizzle, Product Manager for DVEO. “We offer the 1 RU mini, the 2 RU midi, the 3 RU maxi, or the enterprise class Brutus 4 RU or 1 RU blade systems. Plus we have a sixth configuration coming soon – the portable compact “micro” streamer, which is less than ten inches long.”
“Our customers can choose the system that best meets their streaming requirements,” Scott Grizzle went on to say. “For example, the 1 RU MultiStreamer DIG/IP™ mini receives SDI or HD-SDI input and multiple IP inputs. The 2 RU MultiStreamer DIG/IP/2ch™ midi receives two SDI or HD-SDI inputs and multiple IP inputs. Both systems encode 2 1080i/p or 4 720p HD streams at 6 Mbps, or 7 SD streams at 2 Mbps. The maxi encodes 4 to 6 720p HD streams, up to 3 1080i or 1080p HD streams, or 15 SD streams. The two blade 1 RU Brutus system encodes up to 12 1080i/p HD streams, 24 720p HD streams, or 40 SD streams. And the 4 RU 10 blade Brutus encodes up to 60 1080i/p HD streams, or 120 720p HD streams, or 200 SD streams.”
