Wegener Corporatio, a leading provider of
equipment for television, audio and data distribution networks
worldwide, today announced that the new WEGENER iPump®
562 media server will be officially launched at the National
Association of Broadcasters 2008 Convention (Booth #SU7911)
April 14-17, 2008, in Las Vegas.
Ideal for digital signage, corporate communications and education
applications, WEGENER's new iPump 562 media server supports
bandwidth-saving features, such as MPEG-4/h.264 video compression,
file-based workflows and DVB-S2 satellite demodulation. These
features facilitate the creation of customized, high quality
high definition (HD) and standard definition (SD) video channels
for enterprise video projects.
WEGENER's new iPump 562 media server is part of WEGENER's
end-to-end control and playout solution that provides a cost-effective
approach to supporting any multi-site enterprise video project
with high levels of customization per television screen. The
complete solution includes WEGENER's iPump Media Servers,
IP-based peripheral decoders and Compel® network control
system for live or file-based broadcasting.
With Compel, unique programming content can be targeted to
reach individual retail stores, departments, schools, or hospitals,
and can be rapidly updated by central network operators. Employees
at display locations do not have to manage or interact with
the media servers because all functions and upgrades are scheduled
and managed remotely from the Compel network control system
at the central operations center. WEGENER iPump video decoders
are optimized for high quality video and on-screen graphics,
providing a superior viewing experience compared to PC solutions.
"Our new iPump 562 MPEG-4 HD-ready media servers are
a powerful complement to our Compel network control system
and build upon our years of experience with file-based broadcasting
products and systems," said Ned L. Mountain, President
and COO of WEGENER. "Together these products enable our
customers to target specific messages to multiple retail and
enterprise locations. The iPump 562 expands the iPump product
line to target enterprise and digital signage solutions where
cost is a major factor. This new product utilizes the bandwidth
savings from DVB-S2 and MPEG-4 to expand the range of applications
where satellite networks can be profitably employed.
