IKUSNET ENG is described by its manufacturer Prodys as a highly versatile HD/SD MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 portable IP bidirectional video codec that allows live broadcast from anywhere, anytime, and supporting ad-hoc bandwidth aggregation of up to 11 IP links (8x3G/4G, Wi-Fi, dual Ethernet), writes Ian McMurray. The product features editing capabilities, two video inputs, two screens for monitoring of input/output/cue video signals, and a separate bi-directional audio talkback channel, as well as an ASI interface for satellite communications. In order to fulfill as many
applications as possible, Prodys has also developed a number of new video codecs, including Ikusnet BP, Ikusnet ST Decoder, Ikusnet GW and Ikusnet E10/D10.
Ikusnet BP (BackPack) is a new, smaller and easy to carry unidirectional portable video codec that is said to be an ideal partner to the new Ikusnet ST Decoder.
The new Ikusnet GW
(Gateway) gathers together the diverse streams coming from different IP routes (3G/4G, Ethernet, Ka Sat and so on) and re-streams the resulting assembled data not only to existing third-party decoders, but also to WebTV/IPTV servers or any IP MPEG-TS compatible system. Prodys is also showcasing the new Ikusnet E10/D10 for high quality video distribution over fixed IP links, featuring 4:2:2 Chroma sampling and 10-bit colour depth. Also featured is what Prodys describes as its revolutionary new portable audio codec, Quantum. Quantum is claimed to be the only portable IP audio codec that mixes and compresses up to three stereo audio inputs or five mic/line mono inputs and supports bonding of up to sevenIP interfaces (4x3G/4G, 2xEthernet, 1xWi-Fi). 1.B30
