[Satellite TODAY 07-17-13] WORK Microwave has partnered with Adtec Digital to launch Video ACM, an integrated data/video (DaVid) modem and encoding solution for enhanced video contribution.

 

     Combining WORK Microwave’s DVB-S2 Modem SK-DV and the EN-91 MPEG-4 HD ultra-low delay encoder from Adtec Digital, Video ACM automatically optimizes an operator’s satellite link budget, significantly improving video quality and reducing operational expenses.

 

     As the MODCOD changes, the modem communicates with Adtec Digital’s EN-91 encoder and automatically changes the video rate, ensuring the best possible video quality and optimum bandwidth allocation. The EN-91 encodes at variable bit rates without interruption. The integration of the modem and encoder into one environment enables continuous communication between the two devices via SNMP and simplifies the setup and monitoring of parameters and options influencing bandwidth and link allocation.
