NEXIO® mCAPTURE™
Compressed Media Stream Recorder
NEXIO® mCAPTURE™ is a compressed media stream recorder that records SD and HD MPEG-2 and H.264 content, using GPI or schedule control. Programs are selected from single-program or multi-program transport streams on either DVB-ASI-C or Gigabit Ethernet IP input. Content is stored as MPEG-compliant program stream files for interoperability, and can be trimmed and formatted using an MPEG editor such as Velocity XNG™, and then be played out on either the Digital Turnaround Processor™ (DTP™) or NEXIO® server systems.
Applications for the mCAPTURE product include capture of satellite or IP feeds and export to the NEXIO SAN for more advanced editing and baseband playout; store and forward of media from the NetVX™ video networking platform or DTP; and capture of content for archival purposes. mCAPTURE supports ASI and IP inputs for flexibility. Auto-increment of IDs is also supported, which is extremely useful in crash record situations or when recording periodic events. Device control for the compressed media stream recorder is managed via Ethernet.
Features
- Records up to eight HD or SD programs simultaneously from MPEG transport streams
- Supports both MPEG-2 and H.264 (MPEG-4)
- Captures media to local or network attached storage (NAS)
- Extends recording time with the push of a button
- Automates periodic feeds with a built-in scheduler
- Supports auto-increment of IDs with rename capability for crash record functionality
- Facilitates external automation control with API
- Supports management and partial restores of recorded content using video archive communications protocol (VACP)
- Checks content with I-frame monitoring of incoming programs
- Controls IP networks remotely with Java-based GUI
- Dual Gigabit Ethernet IP input (standard)
- Optional four or eight ASI inputs, each supporting up to 100 Mb/s streams
- 1RU form factor
- Hot-swappable redundant power supplies
Product Details
Storage
mCAPTURE can be configured to store programs either internally to the 160 GB SSD drive (up to 70 hours of 4 Mb/s SD or 15 hours of 18 Mb/s HD content), or externally to a NAS such as the NEXIO® NXIQ storage product line from Isilon® Systems. mCAPTURE supports either CIFS or NFS connections to NAS.
Stored MPEG programs can be used directly by the DTP compressed stream server or imported natively to a NEXIO AMP® server for baseband playout.
