Pixelmetrix Pelican Video Encoder Set To Make European Debut

Pixelmetrix, a leading innovator for professional video and television solutions, will present the the Pelican family of video encoders, at IBC Booth 1F34.
Built smaller than a 3.5 inch hard drive, the compact, rugged Pelican encoder is ideal for remote news gathering, enterprise video, hospitality, government, education and healthcare applications. Set up and configuration is a snap with the built in HTML5 web interface. All Pelican models – Pelican-Analog, Pelican-SD and Pelican-HD – support live IP streaming from the built-in Ethernet port.
Pelican-Analog is for composite analog video and stereo analog audio inputs, Pelican-SD is for SDI video with embedded stereo audio as well as mini-XLR with balanced audio, while Pelican-HD supports HD-SDI video with embedded stereo audio as well as mini-XLR with balanced audio.
A wide range of video standards is supported, ranging from 320x180, all the way to 1080p. Both MPEG-2 and H.264 formats are supported as well.
"We are excited about this latest addition to the Pixelmetrix product line," Danny Wilson, Pixelmetrix President & CEO, enthused. "Our DVStor products have been deployed in more and more systems for alternative playout, time shift and disaster recovery. But to make a complete system, our customers always had to go somewhere else for the encoder. Now, with Pelican, our clients can enjoy one stop shopping for their needs,"he added.
Prices for Pelican start at US$2,950 for Analog, and under US$4,000 for HD. Demo highlights at the booth also include the newly launched OTT Media Grinder (OMG) and the newly enhanced DVStor2 with Timeline, EPG and Multiflow.
Pixelmetrix develops a host of Preventive Monitoring solutions, for Quality of Service and Quality of Experience, that offer unique attributes and versatility, allowing operators to achieve end-to-end visibility, and keep tabs on their network architecture while reducing operating expenses.
The IBC exhibition will be held from September 7 to 11 at the RAI Convention Centre, Amsterdam.
