The VNP-400 is upgradable by software and supports Transcoding and Gateway functionality between SMPTE 2022-5/6, H.264 (MP, HP, 8/10-bit 420/422P), MPEG-2 (MP, HP, 422P) and JPEG2000 standards. Flexible System Configurations include bi-directional codec configuration as well as single and dual Encoder or Decoder configurations for uni-directional video/audio transmission applications requiring medium channel density in a small 'foot-print' (up to x4 HD and x2 SD channels per 1 RU). The system also enables transmission of ASI signals over 1/10Gb/s IP networks. The system enables multiple, user selectable compression algorithms depending on Software and Hardware configuration options. The VITEC 17883 VNP-400 is a standalone H.264 Contribution decoder supporting two-way transmission of real-time video and audio signals over IP Networks. Broadcast Quality Video & Audio Processing
