“We have witnessed the success of Web based VOD and Live Video sites, streaming high quality video to desktops, Blu-ray players and Set Top boxes,” said VP Marketing of VSOFTS, Felix Nemirovsky. “Much of the existing video content must be converted to an Internet appropriate format. To meet this market demand, VSOFTS is offering both professional transponders for Satellite/Cable operators and mid-range solutions able to encode real-time and stream to the internet directly in an appropriate resolutions and bit rates.”

VSOFTS TRANSCODERS input MPEG2 or H.264 high bitrate and transcode real-time to H.264 streams with bitrates from 500kbps to 2Mbps in SD and 2Mbps to 4Mbps in HD resolutions. VSOFTS Transcoders can be integrated in x86 based customer systems or deployed as stand-alone appliances, for specific markets and price points.
