Vancouver, CANADA, September 10th, 2014 – Inca Networks announced today that the company’s 4430 Modular Series MPEG-4 transcoder has been recognized by Broadband Technology Report’s 2014 Diamond Technology Review program for its unique and high quality platform.

“We are honored to be recognized by the judges of the The Diamond Technology Reviews for the power that our 4430 Modular Series transcoder provides operators,” said Jeff Campbell, CEO of Inca Networks.

The Inca 4400 Modular Series real-time transcoding solution provides operators with “any-to-any, any-to-many” support for HD and SD, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) video transcoding of up to 24 HD or 60 SD channels, in a compact and power-efficient one rack unit (1 RU) chassis. The platform’s high density enables operators to meet the growing demand for digital TV services, while lowering capital and operating expenses through reduced power consumption and rack space.

A unique and high-quality platform, Inca’s Modular Series is optimized for the growing variety of formats needed to support video delivery to any device at any time. The series offers 20 per cent higher MPEG-4 HD transcoding density than the industry incumbent.

“Our strength is that we marry the convenience and simplicity of modular, scalable hardware with the agility, intuitiveness and control of our VidiOS™ software,” says Jeff Campbell, CEO of Inca Networks. VidiOS™ is Inca’s advanced processing and monitoring engine providing embedded monitoring in every Inca product.  These active stream tools and integrated status monitoring/reporting help operators manage the headend more efficiently.
