Streaming DVD Network video

VBrick Systems, Inc. an innovator in DVD-quality video products announced today a new line of low-cost MPEG-2 network appliances designed for high-end video applications. VBrick 4000, 5000, and 6000 series video appliances join the award-winning MPEG-1 product line and provide DVD-quality video across Internet protocol (IP) and ATM networks.

VBrick products provide a convenient and simple way to improve communications. Organizations can increase productivity by monitoring assembly lines for reduced downtime, inform personnel by streaming news and information directly to their PCs, reduce costs by training personnel and educating students remotely and enhance security by observing critical areas with high-quality surveillance.

The Model 4000 series are MPEG-2 video encoders. They convert analog video (NTSC or PAL) to digital MPEG-2 video for distribution over digital or computer networks. The Model 4300 is an unique dual encoder that packages two MPEG-2 encoders in an extremely small footprint allowing you to deliver two high-quality streams over one IP interface. The Model 4300 is believed to be the most simple-to-use, compact, and lowest cost dual MPEG-2 encoder available today.

The VBrick Model 5000 series are MPEG-2 decoders. The decoders convert digital MPEG-2 video streams to analog video that can be viewed on standard televisions. The VBrick Model 6000 series are full duplex encoders/decoders, typically used for interactive conferencing. Like the 4000 and 5000 series, the Model 6000 appliances are compact, highly reliable and extremely cost effective. All VBrick network video appliances are simple to install and configure using the integral web server.
