Transcoder

In addition to the dual-slot MPEG-4 AVC Ultracompression Transcoder 
described above, there is a single-slot MPEG-4 AVC Ultracompression Transcoder 
which fits in a single PMC slot. The advantages for a single-slot transcoder are:

•

Fits in a single slot, so 8 of them can be fitted in one iPlex chassis.

•

Improved video quality compared to the dual-slot encoder.

•

Up to 8 audio channels can be encoded by each card.
