MGW Ace Decoder is a professional-grade, high-performance IP decoder supporting the bandwidth efficient HEVC/H.265 and H.264/AVC compression standards.

The decoder provides 4:2:2 10-bit HEVC and H.264 decoding from IP or DVB-ASI as well as genlock support. Ready for 4K with its 12G-SDI and HDMI outputs (optional licence),

MGW Ace Decoder is available either as a portable appliance featuring a robust enclosure perfectly suited for field use or as an openGear card for easy integration within production studios and broadcast facilities (up to 10 decoders can be hosted in the openGear chassis). Both product versions provide pristine video quality and versatility with its high quality video scaling, frame sampling and de-interlacing for any stream to any output resolutions/frame rate.

Live feeds can be received from two ethernet ports to match any network topology (each port is configurable as management and/or streaming ports) or from the DVB-ASI input.

Shipping with Zixi, SMPTE 2022 Pro-MPEG and SRT streaming protection technology, the appliance protects video, audio and metadata on networks with up to 30% packet loss or data corruption. When paired with MGW Ace Encoder for point-to-point applications, the solution provides bandwidth efficient, artifacts-free video streaming over any network including the Internet.

For remote production, when paired with VITEC MGW Ace Encoder, the pair deliver zero-latency IP contribution with 16-millisecond glass-to-glass latency in HEVC 4:2:2 10-bit, thanks to VITEC HEVC GEN2+ codec. This ground-breaking technology provides best-in-class HEVC video quality up to 4:2:2 10 bit, setting new industry standards in video quality, bit rate, and latency.
