Description
The Drake PEG PLUS is a stand-alone MPEG-2 or H.264 digital video PEG channel encoder with a single SD/HD-SDI, or composite video input, and an IP-encapsulation output via a single SFP Ethernet port. A separate RJ45 10/100 Ethernet port is provided for control and monitoring capability.
The PEG PLUS features selectable SDI PCM-embedded audio, or analog left and right audio. Audio compression can be either Dolby® Digital, MPEG1-Layer 2 stereo, or AAC stereo.
An optional Zixi output protocol is also available to provide the ability to stream content in H.264 format over an unmanaged network, including the public internet. The Zixi UDP-based video optimized protocol provides professional broadcasters, sports networks, and service providers a mechanism to adapt to the public internet using standard IP networks as a way to ingest and transport broadcast quality video.
An optional rack mount panel is available for up to (2) PEG PLUS encoders.
