The improved BrightEye NXT 450 compact router with professional MPEG contribution encoder/decoder integrates a powerful set of features alongside a built-in high-quality, high-profile MPEG encoder/decoder. Now it's possible for users to hook up SDI, HDMI, or fiber base-band, and MPEG, or DVB-ASI encoded signals without worrying about timing issues, convert them to a common standard definition or high definition format as simply as selecting a source and pushing the TAKE button, intercut or dissolve them seamlessly to a very high-quality MPEG encoder for real-time streaming, while simultaneously sending them to SDI or HDMI destinations. All this in a device the size of a paperback novel.
The BrightEye NXT 450's encoding functionality produces simultaneous transport streams, including one high-resolution and one low-resolution unicast stream, one multicast stream, and a DVB-ASI stream. Sources can be seamlessly routed to the encoder that outputs the various streams to an RJ-45 Ethernet connector on the back of the unit. The DVB-ASI formatter produces a DVB-ASI format stream that can be sent to a BNC or Fiber port for distribution.
The BrightEye NXT 450 also includes an MPEG decoder. Gigabit Ethernet can be received via the RJ-45 connector as either unicast or multicast, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 decoded to 3G, HD, SD SDI with embedded audio, and can be mixed or intercut with other sources connected to the router. Decoded and encoded video can be seen in real time and full motion on the LCD display on the front of the unit. The full-duplex codec allows simultaneous use of the encoder and decoder.
