VividEdge VL4500 Series of products allows the MSO to replace the legacy analog audio and video fiber transmitters with cost effective HD capable multi channel encoder. That transport eliminates fiber receiver, encoder and groomer from the headend, thus way reducing rack space, power consumption and heat dissipation. The product allows the encoding and transporting over GigE multiple CableLabs compliant streams, providing a solution for most of the PEG and local insertion channel loading scenarios.

Closed Caption Support, AFD, Logo Overlay, PiP mode, Ad insertion points, EAS Static image insertion, VLAN support are some of the features that will place the unit right in the MSO’s video environment.

VL4500 Series SRT video transport protocol enables the delivery of high-quality and secure, low-latency video across the public Internet, reducing equipment and transport/service cost.
