Wohler Enhances iVAM2-MPEG with New Features
SAN FRANCISCO — Wohler has announced an impressive upgrade to its iVAM2-MPEG Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) monitor, showcasing three critical enhancements. This new release focuses on improving the user's ability to manage audio and video streams more effectively. With these advancements, the iVAM2-MPEG sets itself apart as a leading option for broadcast monitoring.
New SRT Features for Improved Workflow
The upgrades to the iVAM2-MPEG incorporate advanced functionalities such as CALLER and LISTENER modes, which allow users to either initiate or receive SRT connections tailored to their operational requirements. Additionally, the device is now equipped to monitor encrypted SRT streams, providing peace of mind to users managing secure broadcasting and distribution feeds.
Multi-Stream Management Capabilities
One standout feature of this update is the STREAM-ID selection option. This enhancement simplifies the monitoring process when dealing with multiple SRT streams over a single IP address and port. Operators can easily pick the desired stream for observation, resulting in a less complicated setup experience and more efficient multi-program confidence monitoring.
MPEG Stream Analyzer Accessibility
In a significant usability improvement, the integrated MPEG Stream Analyzer is now accessible via the front panel of the device. Previously, users could only access PID tables through the web interface. With this new front panel feature, operators gain a convenient overview of parsed MPEG tables, allowing for the immediate selection of specific audio, video, or subtitle packet identifiers (PIDs) directly, without switching to another interface.
Commitment to Innovation
Amol Natekar, VP Engineering at Wohler, emphasized the company's dedication to enhancing user experience. "These enhancements reflect our commitment to providing world-class solutions tailored to real-world broadcasting and production needs. The introduction of dual-mode SRT, encrypted stream monitoring, and STREAM-ID selection, combined with the front panel MPEG Analyzer, allows operators to connect quickly, monitor securely, and make selections with minimal configuration efforts. We aspire to continuously enhance usability and capabilities in our products,” Natekar stated.
Availability of Latest Features
All the newly introduced features for the iVAM2-MPEG are available now as part of a free software update. Customers can easily access detailed information about the enhancements through Wohler's official website.
