Professional quality MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Encoders for IPTV, Content Transport, Video On Demand services.

Our Media Converter enables the most efficient encoding possible for QuadPlay™ Media's end-to-end IPTV Platform - an MPEG4 AVC/H.264 Advance Profile based professional, high performance industry grade encoder.

Transcoder DiagramThe QuadPlay™ Media media converter is designed for encoding stored content. It is capable of recognizing over types of media codec. QuadPlay™ Media has successfully implemented advanced profile of AVC/H.264 to deliver optimal quality, full resolution video at up to five times lower bit rate than MPEG2 compression, thereby creating huge savings for IPTV Service Providers and broadcasters in both costs and bandwidth usage. It is capable of encoding stored media files as well as cable, terrestrial and satellite feeds. The MCON4 is fully integrated with QuadPlay™ Media's DRM and Content Security Solution, thereby guaranteeing high level content security for encoded content. It is a software-based system, ensuring future upgradeability.

The MCON4 is shipped with important built-in features such as redundancy, modularity, support for load balancing and an auto failover mechanism that are all musts for a 24X7 operational environment. The modular architecture provides design flexibility to suit everything from small to large projects. It is built on carrier grade Intel XEON based dual processor technology, in a compact 1U server casing, with integrated 100Mbps and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It is an ideal solution for IPTV service providers, Internet Service Providers and broadcasters.
