- Digital turnaround (transrating) of pre-encoded variable bit rate (VBR) streams into constant bit rate (CBR) streams
- Transcoding of MPEG-2 streams to MPEG-4 AVC streams
- “ConstantStream” rate control ensures CBR video with a variance of less than 1%
- Ability to configure bit rate and quality across the range of 1.5 Mbps to 30 Mbps
- Network interface support for copper, fiber and coax networks
- Multi-protocol support (ATM, IP, IP/ATM and DVB-ASI) from a single
