NAB 2019: VITEC Introduces Zero-Latency GEVC Contribution

VITEC (Booth SL6005) will demonstrate the zero-latency MGW Ace Encoder and MGW Ace Decoder solution, achieving video contribution with no visible delay. Powered by the VITEC HEVC GEN2+ codec, the solution delivers 16-millisecond glass-to-glass latency. This innovative codec provides best-in-class HEVC video quality up to 4:2:2 10-bit and sets a new industry standard that is unmatched in video quality, bit rate, and latency.

“We are excited to showcase the VITEC zero-latency HEVC solution at NAB this year,” says Philippe Wetzel, Founder and CEO, VITEC. “I take pride in the engineering capability of VITEC’s R&D teams to deliver an HEVC codec that achieves latency that is even faster than a blink of an eye. There is no visible delay.”

The MGW Ace Encoder and MGW Ace Decoder pair provide flexible connectivity options, including HD-SDI and HDMI, and are backward-compatible with H.264. For contribution workflows that require the highest video quality and zero latency, the MGW Ace solution delivers bandwidth-efficient HEVC in a compact, low-power-consumption form factor.
