Vancouver, Canada (PRWEB) November 12, 2014 -- Inca Networks announced today that Midwest Video Solutions has selected Inca’s high density MPEG-4 HD/SD IPTV transcoder and receiver, the 4430 Modular Series, to expand the services it provides to its consortium of 25 independent telephone companies in Wisconsin.

“The combination of features, affordability, and ease of use represents some of the best value in the video equipment market.”

Midwest Video Solutions provides centrally managed HD and SD IPTV channels to their 25 member companies over a dedicated regional fiber network. Signals originate at five different off-air broadcast channel sites along with the main satellite headend location and are a mixture of 8VSB off-air and satellite sources. The company has chosen Inca’s MPEG-4 IPTV transcoders, 8VSB receiver modules, and VidiOS™ software for receiving, de-muxing, transcoding and monitoring signals at their multiple IPTV sites.

“We have a mixture of video delivery equipment deployed at each of our individual off-air broadcast headend locations and that equipment is becoming outdated and challenging to manage. We chose the Inca reception and transcoder architecture; it has integrated seamlessly with the various set top box, encryption and software platforms our members use. Inca will allow us to reduce our footprint and expenses, and the 4400 Modular series gives us the flexibility to expand in the future with the addition of new multi-screen transcoding, ASI or off-air modules,” says Marty Snustead, Executive Director of Midwest Video Solutions. “The combination of features, affordability, and ease of use represents good value in the video equipment market.”

Like all Inca products, the 4400 modular series includes VidiOS™, Inca’s advanced processing and monitoring engine that provides active stream tools and integrated visual status monitoring – helping video engineers manage the headend more efficiently. Unique in the video equipment business, with Inca’s VidiOS™ it is like getting free status monitoring in every product.

“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. “Video is a challenging business and Inca’s products give operators more features, more performance and more value.”

Another feature that was key to Midwest’s decision to implement Inca’s video delivery equipment is the forthcoming adaptive bit-rate (ABR) transcoding capabilities of the Inca 4400 transcoder module. ABR (also known as HLS) and linear transcoder functions can co-exist in the same chassis, allowing customers to leverage their investment by easily adding low cost modules as their linear and multi-screen services expand. This gives operators maximum flexibility in an evolving video market.

Snustead says that the economics and excellent features are what initially attracted Midwest Video Solutions to Inca, however their support has proven to be a difference marker that will garner repeated business consideration. “Inca’s support has been outstanding. They have provided counsel in how we can utilize the equipment we already have, keeping our best interests at heart, and delivering a truly intelligent, and economical, video delivery solution,” says Snustead.
Midwest Video Solutions provides 80+ HD and 200 SD IPTV channels to approximately 30,000 subscribers through 25 member companies, reaching all four corners of the state of Wisconsin.
