MPEG-2 Admin Guide
This VBrick MPEG-2 Admin Guide is written for anyone who will be using or configuring a
VB6000 Series MPEG-2 VBrick appliance. This includes system administrators, network
technicians, and anyone who will be using or configuring a VBrick network video appliance.
VBrick encoder and decoder appliances are available in industry standard MPEG-2, MPEG-
4, and other formats. MPEG-2 appliances are used for delivering low delay, DVD quality
video over high bandwidth networks. MPEG-4 appliances are used for delivering low delay
television quality video over low and medium bandwidth networks. These products are
available in one and two channel configurations, as well as a combination encoder/decoder
that delivers two-way interactive video (MPEG-2 and MPEG-4). An optional hard drive
allows the video to be recorded at the source.
