The most popular and widely used format for multimedia content delivery over the Internet just got better! The new features of the Windows Media 9® Advanced Profile video codec require a better encoding hardware to achieve the optimum performance. The updated MV401EXP–WM9 encoder is a solid answer to this challenge! It is equipped with professional A/V interface connectors and sports enough horsepower to encode multimedia content with several different parameters simultaneously suitable for various types of viewers. Based on solid-state memory embedded design, MV401EXP–WM9 system consistently performs A/V encoding, streaming day after day.

To maintain the highest quality of compressed video stream the MV401EXP–WM9 encoder uses real time video filtering, adaptive noise reduction and de-interlacing hardware. The filtering greatly improves compression ratio and permits more efficient network bandwidth utilization. The compressed multimedia data can be delivered over dual Gigabit Ethernet ports simultaneously. However, a connection to the Windows Media Service 2003® is highly recommended for greater efficiency in advanced applications such as streaming to hundreds or thousands of Internet users.

In addition to remote configuration GUI, the encoder supports IPMI technology for remote monitoring of internal temperature and voltage sensors inside the box. Automatic Watchdog function ensures that a system reboots and resumes operation quickly in case of an unexpected problem. Also available are emergency system shutdown/reset functions.
