      Multi-Channel Streaming

      MGW 2000e, a multi-channel, rack-mounted video streaming appliance, is designed to serve as the critical core of high-quality video networking and streaming solutions for broadband networks. MGW 2000e is robust, compact and flexible. It transmits live and pre-recorded streams over broadband terrestrial and wireless networks such as ADSL, Ethernet LANs, satellite, and cable. By supporting networking protocols such as IP multicast, RTP, and UDP transmission, MGW 2000e ensures the seamless distribution of rich media content. MGW 2000e encodes, multiplexes and transmits up to 6 live MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 streams, providing top-quality video and audio with a wide range of bit-rates and resolutions. In addition, MGW 2000e also supports on-demand transmission of up to 16 pre-recorded streams.

      Turn your Network into a Streaming Media Station

      MGW 2000e encodes, multiplexes and transmits up to 16 MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 streams (of these, up to 6 can be real-time streams), providing top-quality video and audio with a wide range of bit-rates and resolutions. MGW 2000eis designed for large-scale video networking services that require quick, flexible and robust integration of video, audio and rich media streaming. Applications include video streaming over the broadband Internet, corporate Intranets and virtual private networks. MGW 2000 enables the deployment and development of advanced video streaming services such as business TV, business-to-business communications, distance learning, Web TV and video to the desktop.

      Easy Installation - Minimal Maintenance

      MGW 2000e is a plug-and play rack-mounted, standalone appliance. It has no moving parts, making it the ideal platform for mission critical video networking and media streaming servers. For on-demand services, MGW 2000e supports a SCSI interface that connects to an external storage drive. Encoding modules are swappable and can be easily adapted to changing application needs.

      Remote Management

      MGW 2000e's remote management system enables the configuration, alarming operation and monitoring of multiple streams via a Web based management application. Alternatively, system integrators can develop customized front-ends using MGW 2000e ActiveX controls and DirectShow development tools.
