RGB Video Multiprocessing Gateway (VMG)

RGB’s Video Multiprocessing Gateway (VMG) product line offers the industry’s first high-density, carrier-class platform for the delivery of advanced video services, including high definition (HD) and standard definition (SD) video, as well as lower-resolution MPEG-4/H.264 and MPEG-2 video streams. The VMG is an integrated solution specifically designed to address a number of critical applications, including advanced ad insertion, transrating, transcoding, and re-coding, in a highly integrated and flexible configuration. The VMG’s modular blade architecture represents a future-proof investment that scales well in the rapidly-evolving video marketplace.

The Industry’s Most Advanced Video Processing Platform

Integrated, multi-application platform offers operational simplicity— various functions, typically handled by different devices in a legacy headend, are now performed by one or multiple blades in an integrated chassis.

High-capacity, multi-in/multi-out stream processing allows a complete channel lineup to be processed by a single, highavailability device with many output ‘profiles’ optimized for a variety of receiving consumer devices.

High-availability, carrier-class platform with multi-level redundancy features: chassis component redundancy, 1:1 controller module redundancy, N:M application module redundancy, and service/program-level redundancy on both inputs and outputs.

Multi-processor architecture offers future-proofing for new applications, while achieving the greatest density/cost benefits for proven functions.

Concurrent support for multiple screen resolutions and MPEG-2 and MPEG-4/H.264 compression allows seamless transition from legacy networks to MPEG-4/H.264, or conditioning of live content for next-generation distribution networks.

‘Pay-as-you-grow,’ modular model allows for initial service deployment at only the level required for current implementation.

Two different chassis sizes provide flexibility in meeting current service and space needs, while allowing for a growth path through enabling licenses or adding modules to available slots.

Ultra-dense platform conserves rack space and reduces power requirements.
