ZeeVee outlined its video streaming line up as it noted the rapidly increasing demand for the technology.
The company’s streaming products include the H.264 Media Module (quad encoder blade) for the HDbridge 3000 encoder, ZyPerMX2 and ZyPerMX4 H.264 encoder appliances, STBi3 set top box and the ZyPerMX Player (EPG).
H.264 Media Module for HDbridge 3000
The H.264 Media Module can be hot-swapped into the HDbridge 3000’s chassis to deliver four channels of H.264 (MPEG-4) streaming. The modular HDbridge 3000 encoder can also be populated with additional blades/modules that can perform RF modulation and MPEG-2 streaming.
HDbridge 3000’s built-in management software offers set up and channel and content management, including DirecTV, from anywhere on the network. Select media modules offer an extra channel, called ZvShow, that enable the looping of customised content.
ZyPerMX2 and ZyPerMX4 Encoders
The ZyPerMX2 and ZyPerMX4 can stream up to two or four sources of multiple streaming formats simultaneously over IP networks and expand the range of devices each channel can support. In addition, they support HLS, RTP, UDP and RTMP protocols for live streaming on sites such as Facebook Live and YouTube Live. The ZyPerMX2 and ZyPerMX4 integrate with Wowza media systems. They also support AAC, MP2 and AC3 formats.
ZyPerMX Player
The ZyPerMX Player, a web-based multicast player, delivers a television-like experience on desktops for distributed content, which can include live broadcast TV, movie channels or in-house programming. No software installation is required. The player is also available with an optional electronic programming guide, which dealers can offer to customers for a monthly or annual fee. The programming guide is customisable.
STBi3 Set Top Box
ZeeVee’s new STBi3 set top box supports playback from both IP and RF sources and is designed for bulk video distribution or IPTV type applications. It can be used in conjunction with the ZyPerMX2 and ZyPerMX4, as well as the H.264 Media Module for the HDbridge 3000. This provides a way to create a digital head-end for distributing large numbers of AV sources to an unlimited amount of displays.
