VBrick Hardware

MPEG Encoders and Decoders

VBricks are a family of compact MPEG Video Network  appliances, all of which are interoperable with each other. VBricks are available for Ethernet IP, ATM, T1/E1, Microwave, and Satellite Networks.

All VBricks support advanced features such as Infra Red Remote control, RS232 data pass-through for the control of remote cameras or other devices, IP Multicasting (Ethernet only), and compliance with open standards for MPEG and data networks.

1000 Series Encoder
The 1000 Series are MPEG Encoders that stream live video to other VBricks, StreamPlayer Clients, Media Player clients or other MPEG Players and Servers.

Code Description
1200 Ethernet, 10BaseT, UDP/IP MPEG1 Encoder, PAL/NTSE Video and Stereo Audio.
1800 ATM, 25M PVC, MPEG1 Encoder, PAL/NTSE Video and Stereo Audio.
1911 ATM, 155M PVC, OC3 Multimode Fibre, Encoder, PAL/NTSE Video and Stereo Audio.
1913 ATM, 155M PVC, OC3 Singlemode Fibre, Encoder, PAL/NTSE Video and Stereo Audio.
1921 Dual ATM, 155M PVC, Dual OC3 Multimode Fibre, Internal ATM PVC/VCI daisy chain for switchless ATM, Encoder, PAL/NTSE Video and Stereo Audio.
1931 High Speed Serial, EIA 530/RS422/X21, Encoder, PAL/NTSE Video and Stereo Audio.

 

2000 Series Decoder
The 2000 Series are MPEG Decoders that receive streams form other VBricks, MediaPump Servers, and other streaming MPEG sources. Includes on screen programme display and text billboarding.

Conference Microphone

AudioMate
AudioMate is a wideband state of the art desktop conference microphone that provides intelligent  voice tracking, reverberation reduction, noise reduction, and echo cancellation. AudioMate is a self contained unit that connects directly to the VBrick or up to three AudioMates can be "daisy chained". Features include automatic voice tracking, built in mute button, and LEDs to indicate directional voice activity/mute status. Each unit can be installed without the need for calibration.

Camera Mounting Hardware

VBrick Camera Motor
This unit is a self contained rugged Camera Pan/Tilt motor that connects directly to the Serial port on the VBrick to enable full control of the camera across the network. The VBrick Camera Motor can be controlled by a control station that utilises the Serial Data Pass-through function of the receiving VBrick, or users can have full control from the desktop. (The controller comes with free Active-X controls for your web browser as well as a stand alone application for Windows desktops.)

The Controller offers a maximum control speed of 240 degrees per second, and a pan range of just under 180 degrees. (Field of view is camera dependent) Tilt range varies from 120-180 degrees depending on camera size and optics. The standard version supports up to 1.5 lbs (650g) and the heavy duty version supports up to 4.5lbs (2.0 kg). An external control port for motorised zoom, focus and iris control is included.
