MGW Diamond OG Encoder

Partner: VITEC

MGW Diamond is a small, power-efficient quad-channel HD or one-channel 4K HEVC video encoder ideal for field-based applications. It features a powerful encoding engine with the ability to output up to eight streams simultaneously. MGW Diamond is ideally suited to any multi-channel application where stringent size, weight and power (SWaP) characteristics are demanded.

MGW Diamond captures up to 4x 3G/HD/SD-SDI or Composite inputs, and streams live up to 8 channels, addressing diverse applications within sports, enterprise, defense and surveillance markets. Featuring Ultra High Definition and High Definition range (HDR) support, MGW Diamond can capture and stream 4K60p HDR10 or HLG video from either its 4x3G-SDI or 12G-SDI inputs. Featuring Time-Synchronized Playback, MGW Diamond and MGW Ace Decoder ensure perfect synchronisation of multiple independent IP streams for house of worship, remote production, or any live application where IP streams must be played back in sync.

For data-sensitive applications, the MGW Diamond supports KLV / STANAG metadata ingest from various sources (SDI, IP or Serial), real-time image cropping and video scaling, Forward Error Correction (FEC) streaming and JITC compliant output streams. It packs all the needed capabilities for delivering any type of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) or Situational Awareness (SA) video generated by ground vehicles, manned or unmanned airborne platforms, and marine vessels.

MGW Diamond is available either as a portable appliance featuring impressive size, weight and power (SWaP) characteristics or as an openGear card for easy integration within production studios, broadcast facilities or corporate server room (up to 10 decoders can be hosted in the openGear chassis). Both product versions provide best-in-class video quality over a rich and industry-standard audio/video connectivity.
