VITEC has announced the launch of its MGW Diamond+ OG, an openGear (OG) encoder card at the NAB Show.
The encoder card is a 4K/Multichannel HD, HEVC, H.264 and MPEG-2 encoder with SDI and SMPTE-2110 input in an openGear card format, providing support for 4K, HDR, HEVC and SMPTE 2110 ingest.
UHD and HDR is supported, alongside H.264, HEVC and MPEG-2 encoding, enabling the MGW Diamond+ OG to ingest and stream up to 4K60p from its 12G-SDI inputs and SMPTE 2110 input over 25Gbit SFP interface.
The card also supports 4:2:2 10-bit, interlaced and progressive encoding, multichannel audio and Zixi, SRT, RIST and Pro-MPEG transport protocol protection technology for reliable video and audio transmission.
Additionally, up to 10 UHD channels or 40 HD channels can be delivered via a 2Ru chassis, allowing users to mix and match compatible openGear cards such as the MGW Ace Decoder OG for bi-directional contribution links.
