Vitec MGW Pico Live Ultra-Compact SD H.264 Encoder

Take your video encoding to the next level with the MGW Pico Live Ultra-Compact SD H.264 Encoder, the world's smallest portable encoding appliance. This innovative device is designed for high-quality, professional video streaming in the field, boasting a compact and durable design that's perfect for on-the-go use.

Equipped with 3G/HD/SD-SDI and Composite inputs, this user-friendly encoder is renowned for its low power consumption and robust industrial design. It's an ideal solution for any field-based streaming application, from live streaming to webcasting.

The MGW Pico Encoder stands out with its unique ultra-compact design, featuring no moving parts for a 100% silent operation. It offers two simultaneous H.264 encoding channels (HD+SD), providing on-the-fly bit rate change, advanced scaling, and frame rate sampling for optimal video quality.

While streaming, the MGW Pico Encoder also offers full-frame snapshot capture, which can be delivered over IP or stored in internal memory. This feature ensures you never miss a moment, capturing clear, detailed images even in high-action scenarios.

To guarantee reliable stream delivery on both private and public networks, including the internet, the MGW Pico Encoder incorporates Zixi stream protection and industry-standard SMPTE 2022 Pro-MPEG error correction technology. This technology safeguards your video, audio, and metadata on networks that may experience up to 30% packet loss or data corruption.

Additionally, the encoder offers low latency adaptive bitrate streaming (ABR), adjusting the video quality in real-time to match the available network bandwidth. For sensitive applications, the MGW Pico Encoder supports KLV metadata ingest from SDI, IP, or Serial and delivers streams in compliance with STANAG 4609 and MISB standards.

The MGW Pico Encoder is also available as a PCB-only subsystem, offering two selectable integration options and a comprehensive API for command and control over IP. This flexibility makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of professional video encoding needs.
