HaiVision will be at Stand IP702 at IBC 2009 and the products they will be demonstrating include:
Video Furnace System 5
At IBC2009, HaiVision will showcase the new Video Furnace System 5, a complete solution for end-to-end HD H.264 video-over-IP distribution. The powerful integrated solution incorporates the compact MAKITO HD H.264 encoder to simplify deployment of a secure, easy-to-use system for encoding and distributing live video to computers and set-top boxes, for creating scheduled playback channels for enterprise TV and signage, and for recording content and delivering video-on-demand. The system's Furnace Portal Server controls the direct and secure distribution of SD and HD H.264 video to both the "zero-footprint" InStream player and the STINGRAY set-top box; the Furnace Playback Manager supports scheduled channels for IP video broadcast and signage; and the Furnace Media Server leverages the efficiencies of H.264 to enable HD video-on-demand.
MAKITO
IBC2009 attendees will be able to see HaiVision's new MAKITO HD video encoder — the first and only compact encoder to combine the efficiencies of H.264 video compression and the image quality of full HD video within a very compact form factor at a very completive price point. Introduced at the 2009 NAB Show for just $8,995, this revolutionary encoding system supports SD and HD up to 1080p60, allowing HD video to be distributed, captured, and rebroadcast efficiently and affordably. The MAKITO is capable of producing multiple stream resolutions from a single source (HiLo Streaming), sending high bit rate video to required endpoints and providing lower-bandwidth video for mass consumption. With the MAKITO, the user need only encode once, leveraging the system's powerful networking features and the ubiquity of H.264 to reach all possible viewers.
BARRACUDA
At IBC2009, HaiVision will be showcasing the BARRACUDA compact H.264 encoder. The encoder supports SDI, S-video, and composite video inputs, and addresses the widest array of IP video users by supporting advanced features such as HaiVision's HiLo Streaming. The BARRACUDA is compatible with industry-standard set-top boxes and also integrates well with Video Furnace System 5, HaiVision's end-to-end H.264 IP video solution featuring the "zero footprint" InStream desktop player. The BARRACUDA is available as a stand-alone appliance or in a 4U rack-mount chassis for up to 21 BARRACUDA mini-blade encoders.
MAKO-HD Codec
HaiVision's MAKO-HD codec delivers an unparalleled 70 milliseconds of latency from end to end and supports HD up to 1080p. The MAKO-HD also supports computer output encoding to H.264, at up to 1280x768 resolution and 60 frames per second, which is ideal for command and control applications. With advanced features such as WXGA encoding, multiple stream output, HiLo Streaming, Adobe Flash compatibility, and traffic shaping, the MAKO-HD is ideal for any network video challenge over LAN, WAN, or satellite.
The MAKO-HD is supported within HaiVision's hai1000 multistream codec system — the world's premier codec for TelePresence applications. Each hai1000 system can contain up to five MAKO-HD codecs within a compact telecom-grade 3U frame.
