MPEG-2 Overview

The basic VBrick MPEG-2 appliance consists of one or more of the following components. Note that the screens you see in IWS will vary depending on the model and how the appliance is configured.

1.A main controller card with the following:

•10/100Base-T Ethernet network interface.

•Two slots for encoder and/or decoder boards.

2.Optional Interfaces:

•MPEG-2 encoder.

•SDI Serial Digital interface for encoders and decoders.

•Text insertion module.

•MPEG-4 encoder.

•MPEG-4 decoder.

•WM Encoder.

•VBStar which includes a hard drive and FTP.

Note VBrick appliances have a number of optional hardware accessories, including the AudioMate microphone, Remote Control devices, and cameras. These work directly with VBrick appliances or through the use of ActiveX control software, also available from VBrick.
