MediaRig Encoder SD
MediaRig Encoder SD is a feature-rich, affordably priced standard definition MPEG-2 encoder system suitable for a wide-range of professional applications. Combining dramatic improvements in the Intel platform with Ligos’ own innovative software and hardware design, MediaRig Encoder SD is the compact, reliable alternative that redefines the cost vs. performance tradeoff that service providers have traditionally been forced to address.
MediaRig Encoder SD supports single-channel standard definition MPEG-2 (MP@ML and 4:2:2P@ML) video, MPEG Layer 2 and Dolby Digital (AC-3) 2-channel audio, and superior quality at lower bitrates (constant and variable). The 1RU rack-mounted, Intel-powered system is equipped with Ligos’ own Fero media adapter for input and output, and our software for both the user interface (UI) as well as the underlying encoding/processing core. The Network Management System style UI serves to manage and monitor the local encoding sessions, customize and manage session profiles, and provide optional remote control and management of up to 25 additional MediaRig Encoder SD systems via Ethernet.
