  • interoperability with leading system management tools; and
  • support for 60Hz and 50Hz applications.

Three configurations are available, including: the ME2600 multiformat AVC encoder, which provides operators high-definition or standard-definition encoding consuming sub-100W of power; the ME2100 standard-definition AVC encoder with motion-compensated noise reduction, which is upgradeable to HD; and the ME2020 standard-definition AVC encoder, which can be upgraded with compensated noise reduction.
