Brutus™ Transcoder Family

The DVEO Brutus product portfolio features Linux® based telco quality transcoders that deliver outstanding video quality and performance. The systems are ideal for simple transcoding or grooming at headends for OTT, mobile, and Telco TV multiscreen services.

The enterprise class Brutus VI IP/IP: TELCO is an adaptive optimized transcoder. Typical real time H.264 transcodes benchmarks include 240 SD streams, or 90 each 720p60 streams, or 60 each 1080p/i streams… all in a 1 RU rack space. Other systems in the Brutus transcoder family serve anywhere from 20 to 200 SD streams out. Resulting streams can be viewed with standard transport stream compatible set-top boxes, streaming video, smart phones, or software clients such as VLC or JW Player. With the optional ATLAS add-on, the systems support 1,000 RTMP, DASH, and/or HLS users natively.

Input or output formats can be MPEG-2, H.264, optional H.265, or a mixture, with most popular wrappers and containers. The Brutus systems support Flash, HLS, RTMP, HTTP, and Live Streaming and work well with Atlas™, Wowza®, and Adobe® Flash® servers. They are ideal devices for creating low, medium, and high bit rate streams inside ISP's and CDN's. Brutuses can also sit in the cloud as cloud re-encoders to generate adaptive multirate streams from inexpensive original encoders.

Audio support includes AAC, Embedded pass-through, MPEG-1 Layer II, optional MP3, and/or optional “SurCode for Dolby Digital” AC-3. Transcoding bit rates are .1 to 15 Mbps with 4:2:0 or optional 4:2:2.

The systems support IP content protection with rotating key servers like Verimatrix® VCAS™, Widevine, etc. via OPT. They also support logo insertion, text overlay, and SCTE 35 compliant cue tone insertion ("ad markers") on outputs.

Other useful features include closed captioning support, redundant power supplies, and PID filtering of all unwanted traffic.

A secure IPTV ecosystem, the ENTERPRIZE IPTV: PRO delivers corporate or educational channels or broadcast content to every desktop, monitor, and screen throughout your organization. It ships with an ATLAS™ server to serve thousands of users simultaneously. The system comes with a comprehensive EPG, plus management tools to view and control user and group permissions. It is an ideal platform to deliver content securely to your selected audience across all media devices.

Prior to IPTV, many larger organizations like financial institutions relied on cable oriented QAM RF infrastructure. Today a video oriented local area network fills the role at a lower CAPEX and/or OPEX. DVEO's solution provides a secure, modern video platform at an affordable price, along with a support arrangement.

The system provides support for graphic oriented and text oriented info channels via our info server. Its centralized management server allows controlled distribution of specific channels to geofenced or specific IP addresses. And the centralized management application provides user statistics and reports.

AES-128, Verimatrix®, and/or Widevine® encryption guarantees that your content remains secure and cannot be redistributed.

The ENTERPRIZE IPTV: PRO features Pro-MPEG FEC, plus DVEO's DOZER™ ARQ patented UDP packet loss recovery for reliable delivery of any bitstream.

The system also comes with DVEO's customizable "You Branded" zXORA™ Player for Android, iOS, and Roku based media.

Applications include secure encrypted video feeds for corporate training and company announcements, multiscreen content delivery for universities and online learning, and video feeds with text and graphics to hotels, cruise ships, restaurants, and resorts.

The Gearbox DVB-T+T2 8 Tuners/IP 52ch is an MPEG-2 to H.264 transcoder or transcaler. It receives multiple DVB-T or DVB-T2 transport streams, transcodes them to H.264 or optional H.265, and outputs them to an IP network. Resulting streams can be viewed with standard transport stream compatible set-top boxes, streaming video, smart phones, or software clients such as VLC or JW Player. The system receives transport streams, demultiplexes the requested services and streams these services using UDP, RTP, RTMP, Adaptive, or HTTP via IP networks as either IP multicast or IP unicast streams.

Typical H.264 dedicated transcodes are up to 52 SD streams, or 13 1080i/p streams, or 20 720p60 streams. Optional H.265 transcodes are up to 20 SD streams, or 3 1080i/p streams, or 5 720p60 streams.

The system supports 50 HLS users natively. An optional built-in Atlas ™ server supports 1,000+ simultaneous HLS, DASH, and/or RTMP users. The Gearbox also supports RTMP, HTTP, and Live Streaming and works with Atlas™, Wowza®, and Adobe® Flash® servers. Audio output is AAC, MPEG-1 Layer II, Optional MP3, and/or optional "SurCode for Dolby Digital" AC-3.

The Gearbox supports rotating key servers like Verimatrix® VCAS™ and performs AES-128 encryption. Support for Variable Bit Rate (VBR) encoding maximizes adaptive streaming video quality and bandwidth efficiency. The Linux® based system relies on an Intel® Dual 18 Core CPU for encoding. We have optimized the encoder to obtain Telco grade reliability.

A higher end system, the Gearbox II T+T2 16 Tuners/IP 104ch, is also available. For the Gearbox II, typical H.264 dedicated transcodes are up to 104 SD streams, or 26 1080i/p streams, or 40 720p60 streams. Optional H.265 transcodes are up to 40 SD streams, or 6 1080i/p streams, or 10 720p60 streams.

The Muxing Server IP+HD+ASI/IP+ASI is the newest member of DVEO’s cable industry oriented product line. This sophisticated live and stored media server and multiplexer is designed to ingest 50+ live compressed video streams and create modified “packages” with varying numbers of streams for distribution over IP or QAM.

The Muxing Server is a transport stream playout manager with IP or ASI out, built-in storage, live IP inputs, and built-in standards compliant re-multiplexing. It modifies services from local HD, ASI, or Gigabit Ethernet into a new transport stream. The system supports both SI and PSIP metadata and DVB to PSIP table conversion.

In addition to creating services, the Muxing Server also includes a schedulable player that will mix locally stored content into the muxed packages. During certain times live feeds are preferred, but at other times stored content will be preferred. This device allows you to repackage a mix of live and locally stored content into multiple offerings according to the subscriber’s budget.

Additional features include network jitter correction and configurable Forward Error Correction (FEC) support for SMPTE 2022‐1/2.

The zXORA Player is a full featured, fully secure, completely modifiable cloud-oriented content delivery platform for Android, iOS, and Roku based media. It is designed to provide a user friendly and brilliant streaming experience to the discerning user who expects a consistent intuitive interface. This player features built in Ad Insertion features and includes an easy to use real time EPG (Electronic Program Guide).

Video Players are the Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) to your content and present navigation choices to your customer. DVEO created its own from the ground up, so it is not licensing and "re- skinning" any of the half dozen players out there. This means we can customize it to your exact specifications and preference. In fact our business model is centered around branding our player with your logo.

Video players are also known as "middleware" by the industry since they reside on a divide and end up managing resources.

Suitable for free or subscription based viewing, the zXORA Player features client-side ad insertion using VAST, and server-side ad insertion with VAST compliance. It features targeted ad insertion plus ad analytics and other user statistics.

The zXORA Player plays VOD video, and also provides DVB/PVR (Digital/Personal Video Recording). Closed captions and multi language support are included

The zXORA Player supports geo-fencing -- limiting ads or programming to a geographic area. It also supports Widevine® DRM.
