Supporting IPTV platforms, the edje-4000 provides unmatched value and provides the amenities of encoders costing five times its price and measuring four times its size - finally an IPTV AVC encoder for the masses!

     The edje4000 is a real-time streaming MPEG 4 Part 10 (AVC) encoder. AVC/H.264 supports many profiles and layers making it useful across markets including Satellite and Cable distribution, Telco and Broadband TV, high quality security, surveillance and Mobile applications.



What is AVC?
H.264, MPEG-4 Part 10, or AVC (for Advanced Video Coding), is a digital video codec standard that is noted for achieving very high data compression. It was written by the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) together with the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) as the product of a collective partnership effort known as the Joint Video Team (JVT). The ITU-T H.264 standard and the ISO/IEC MPEG-4 Part 10 standard (formally, ISO/IEC 14496-10) are jointly maintained so that they have identical technical content. The final drafting work on the first version of the standard was completed in May 2003.

Professional video and audio inputs: Like all previous Adtec encoders, the edje4000 provides broadcast quality video and audio inputs including Composite and SDI with pre-processing balanced analog and embedded audio via SDI. Next Generation Pre-Processing: Composite and optional SDI inputs are routed through a time base correcting video pre-processing block that removes spatial noise, temporal (motion) noise and generally improves encoding efficiency. Analog Audio levels from analog and SDI embedded audio can be adjusted via software. AAC- Low Complexity (ACC-LC) audio: The AAC-LC CODEC is significantly more efficient than MPEG 1 Layer 2 (Musicam) or Layer 3 (MP3)audio. Deliver the highest fidelity stereo audio with AAC. Reliable Operation: Adtec has delivered over sixty thousand embedded media devices globally. The edje4000 continues that legacy offering value and performance unmatched in the industry. Embedded Performance: With a boot time and transport egress of less than 5-seconds, large computer based encoders simply can not match the high availability Adtec devices offer. RS422 Device Control: IIndustry standard RS422 (9 Pin) device control supporting Sony protocol. Optional Live capture: Add an optional hard drive and capture live video and audio. Optional Encapsulated UDP and RTP Streaming: The edje4000 supports raw UDP or Real Time Protocol (RTP) unicast and multicast transmission utilizing encapsulated MPEG2 transport stream format containing AVC Video and AAC Audio payloads. MPEG 2 Transport, AVC and AAC CODECs: The edje4000 provides a stable MPEG 2 Transport Stream with AVC video and AAC-LC audio payloads. MPEG 2 Transport is universally compliant with distribution and storage requirements used by MPEG, SCTE, DVB, ATSC and DMB standards. Very stable Jitter, rock solid AV Sync, CODEC payloads, ancillary data and tables are delivered via an industry standard Ethernet interface. Manage Content: The included mediaControl application allows you to configure, encode and deliver the highest quality video and audio for your application.
