Burnaby, BC (PRWEB–October 18, 2010)-Spectrum Signal Processing by Vecima (“Spectrum”), trusted supplier of embedded computing and processing solutions for more than 20 years, today announced the availability of a new product line of high-definition (HD) video encoders that will enable service providers to distribute a variety of stored and live video content over an IP network. Spectrum’s video encoding solutions can be used in a number of applications in the video delivery market including IP television (IPTV), hospitality, local content insertion, remote security monitoring, digital program distribution, and distance education.

“Spectrum has a long history supplying high quality processing solutions for demanding military and defense customers. With this launch of our video processing product line, we have leveraged our history and our Vecima relationship to create a high quality and high channel density solution at a very competitive price,” said Douglas Fast, President of Spectrum.

Spectrum announces the newest solutions in its video processing product line:

• DM-1321 HD Encoder- MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 H.264 encoding of up to two HD channels in a 1RU 19” form factor
• DM-1322 HD Multi-Channel Encoder – MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 H.264 encoding of up to ten HD channels in a 2RU 19” form factor
• DM-1332 SD Multi-Channel Transcoder- real-time MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 H.264 transcoding of up to thirty SD channels in a 2RU 19” rackmount form factor

The DM-1321 and DM-1322 accept analog component video inputs (480p, 480i, 720p, and 1080i) and encode to MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 H.264. The encoders feature auto-sensing to detect input resolution, remote configuration via web-based GUI, streaming of TS files from USB, and Dolby AC3 or AAC-LC audio encoding. Users can select video and audio encoding formats for each channel. The video encoders output MPEG-2 transport streams over Gigabit Ethernet.

The DM-1332 accepts up to thirty standard-definition (SD) MPEG-2 encoded channels via IP over Gigabit Ethernet, and then transcodes to MPEG-4 H.264 over IP to a second Gigabit Ethernet port. The DM-1332 features logo insertion with alpha blending, along with audio-pass through or transcode from MPEG-1 Layer 2 to AAC-LC.
