New IP-9400 MPEG-4 encoder from Fujitsu

Fujitsu has announced the IP-9400, a new MPEG-4 encoder with optional built in DVB-S/S2 modulator, targeted at the efficient conversion from MPEG-2 to AVC encoding in microwave, satellite and IP digital news gathering systems.

Fujitsu says the new solution reduces operational costs while increasing workflow efficiency with high HD and SD content fidelity and low latency, essential to remote live feeds.

"In today's economic climate, broadcasters are looking at ways to cut costs whenever possible and at the same time improving performance and operational capability. Fujitsu is offering broadcasters all of these benefits in the IP-9400 as they upgrade their HD microwave, satellite and IP digital news gathering systems," said Kunio Konishi, director of product management, media solutions, Fujitsu Frontech North America Inc. "The new IP-9400 along with all of our other MPEG-4 encoders provides customers with the best overall value to meet demanding budget constraints while offering industry-leading performance capabilities at any given price point. We listened carefully to industry needs, and Fujitsu is doing more than just listening we have delivered."

"The Fujitsu MPEG-4 AVC encoders are among the most advanced and highest-performing in the industry, and the IP-9400 will deliver the same video and audio performance, low latency and other advantages that customers have come to expect from Fujitsu," said Michelle Abraham, Principal Analyst at In-Stat. "The Fujitsu technology also helps to reduce overall operational costs, which addresses a real problem for broadcasters across the globe how to reduce cost without adversely affecting performance. We anticipate wide-spread adoption of the IP-9400 as broadcasters upgrade their HD and SD microwave, satellite and IP digital news gathering systems."
