High-Definition JPEG 2000 over IP EMCORE’s NVE-1-3G and NVD-1-3G are professional grade encoder/decoders that simplify the transmission of 3G HD, HD-SDI and SDI with embedded audio over IP. Utilizing JPEG 2000 compression technology, they can transmit high quality video with embedded audio over an IP network with extremely low latency.

The NVE/NVD-1-3G are perfect for distributing High Definition video over IP for a variety of Broadcast contribution applications where the highest quality video and low latency (<50 ms) are required. The built-in switching functionality of the NV encoders and decoders, in conjunction with the IP network, eliminates the need for video matrix switches. High quality HD video from any source can be connected to any display at any time over an IP network.

The NVE-1-3G encoder accepts an HD video signal, slightly compresses the signal and transmits via an IP network. The NVD-1-3G decoder receives the IP stream, decompresses it and outputs the original HD signal for distribution and display.

JPEG 2000 compression allows considerable reduction of the data rate in the network without visible loss of quality. Minimal delay means that the modules are also suitable for use in any mission critical application requiring real-time video and audio over IP. The NV-1-3G encoder and decoder support video input signals with embedded audio.

IP networks may be localized or extended to cover several regions by means of optional WAN technology.

Encoders and decoders are supplied as stand-alone modules. They can be mounted in a 19” 1RU rack enclosure by twos, or singularly in a desktop enclosure. The devices can be configured via a web server, CLI interface or over Telnet. A simple software interface allows direct activation of the devices by any control software.
