VNP - Video Network Platform
The Minerva VNP features high-quality MPEG video encoding technology. Designed around LSI Logic's video processor, a PowerPC CPU, and VxWorks Real-Time OS, the system is built to offer broadcast-quality video with high reliability. To date, over 3,000 VNPs have been shipped worldwide supporting a wide range of applications, including:
Education/Training
IP Television
Surveillance
Video backhaul
The Minerva VNP supports MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 compression and decompression in NTSC, PAL, and SECAM formats at data rates from 1 to 15 Mbps. Its flexible CODEC architecture provides encoding and decoding for one- or two-way communication and for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint delivery. Offering a variety of unique features, the Minerva VNP support advanced capabilities, including:
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to server
Store to attached SCSI disk
Time code support
To maximize quality of service (QOS), the Minerva VNP supports DiffServe, forward error correction (FEC) and packet recovery. The Minerva VNP features an embedded HTTP server that allows users to configure the system from a Web browser anywhere on the network. The Minerva VNP also supports SNMP control.
Minerva's video network management application ("Minerva VNP Assistant") can be used to manage the encoder. The Minerva VNP family includes several products (VNP-100, VNP-150, VNP-151, VNP-200 and VNP-201) ranging from low bitrate MPEG 1 encoders to MPEG-2 CODECs with digital inputs and outputs.
