SkyStream Debuts MPEG-4 Encoding and Transcoding

SkyStream Networks announced MPEG-4 encoding and transcoding capabilities for its Mediaplex-20 platform, which provides delivery of video content over IP and ATM networks in low-bandwidth environments. At this week’s TelcoTV 2003 conference in Las Vegas, SkyStream is showing the Mediaplex-20 encoding digital video in dual MPEG-4 formats — ASP and H.264 — out of the same chassis. The new Video Repurposing (VRP) architecture of the Mediaplex-20 enables transcoding from MPEG-2 video to MPEG-4 format, MPEG-4 encoding of analog video, transrating from one video bit-rate to another, video stream replication for delivery of streams to different platforms simultaneously, and bandwidth rate reduction with bandwidth policing.
