Overview
Visionary Solutions’ IPTV encoders can turn video from
almost any source into full-screen, full resolution Internet
Protocol digital video in real time. The AVN441HD encodes
high definition video in an h.264 stream (MPEG-4Part10/AVC).
It’s used in a Media Processing Platform (MPP), a high density
rack mount system. Plug a video source directly into the blade,
plug into the network via the RJ-45 connection, and stream
real-time high definition video over your LAN or WAN. The
MPP with AVN441HD blades is suitable for all applications
requiring cost-effective, low bit rate, high definition video
distribution over IP networks.
Features
Superior Audio/Video Quality
h.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10/AVC) hardware compression
and Visionary Solutions’ optimized transmission technol-
ogy provides a high definition video full frame rate IP
video stream. The stream can be viewed by an unlimit-
ed number of clients on a LAN or WAN provided that
bandwidth is available. Image resolutions are config-
urable to 720p or 1080i at 50 or 60 frames per second
or 1080p at 24 frames per second. The video bit rate
can be configured from 4 to 18 Mbps. The audio com-
pression is either AAC (128 to 512 kbps audio encod-
ing) or MPEG-1 Layer 2 (64 to 384 kbps audio encod-
ing) with up to 48 kHz sample rate.
Video Inputs
The AVN441HD includes three BNC connectors for
component YPbPr or RGB, and one HDMI input for con-
necting video and audio source equipment.
Audio Inputs
A terminal block connector provides audio inputs for
Balanced and Unbalanced connections. This allows for
easy onsite connections regardless of the cabling out-
puts of the audio source. There are also two RCA audio
connectors (L/R) which support only unbalanced con-
nections, and the HDMI input carries audio as well. The
AVN441HD features user control of audio parameters,
including mute, pre-amp and volume.
External Device Connections
The AVN441HD includes a serial connection via an RJ-
45 connector. This connector can be used as an RS-
232 port (full-duplex, no hand shaking) or an RS-422
(full-duplex) port. These ports allow the AVN441HD to
interface with external devices such as terminal emula-
tion equipment.
Management & Configuration
of the device is accomplished by any of four methods:
PackeTV™ Configuration Utility, console menus, a Web
interface, or the AVN Control Protocol API. TCP/ IP,
HTTP and other Internet-related protocols are support-
ed.
PackeTV™Configuration Utility
(included) enables quick and efficient setup and mass
reconfiguration of key settings including bit rate, video
resolution and multicast destination IP addresses.
The IPTV Media Processing Platform from Visionary Solutions
is a high density rack mountable blade system. The MPP1700 platform, pictured
at right, with dual redundant power scheme, will hold up to eight AVN441HD high
definition (HD) encoder blades or seventeen standard definition (SD) blades. The
MPP200 has a single power source and can hold one HD or two SD blades. Each
Media Processing Platform will incorporate a growing family of modules to support
transport, switching, transcoding and monitoring of IPTV.
