The StreamboxTV Encoder uses the Microsoft® Windows XP Embedded Operating System and is fully software upgradeable via a solid-state hard disk. This feature ensures ease of maintenance, upgradeability, reliability and fault tolerance. The ACT-L3 codec relies on Intel Pentium 4 processors with Hyperthreading technology to encode real-time video at 30fps with automatic closed-captioning support. Built-in Advanced Quality of Service (QoS) systems include remote management, Forward Error Correction (FEC) and error cancellation, burst error protection, bandwidth shaping, and automated self-healing signal reconnect and restart.
The Streambox ACT-L3 Codec is used in numerous real-time applications where broadcast and DVD quality video is required at low bitrates and low end-to-end video latency is mandatory. StreamboxTV applications include Enterprise TV, distance learning, Tele-medicine, and video communications.
