About the VNC 325 Codec

The VN-Matrix VNC 325 video codecs (see figure 1) distribute digital SD, HD-SDI, or 3G-SDI broadcast quality video and audio content across an IP network using the Extron PURE3® Codec algorithm. PURE3 exceeds many of the performance characteristics of existing compression formats and provides exceptionally robust protection against network errors, making it ideal for quality-critical applications. The VNC 325 codec can be configured to operate in one of two modes:

As an encoder to encode a source and stream it across a network,

As a decoder to decode a VN-Matrix 325 encoded data stream from a network.
