What makes the VITEC openGear Diamond+ OG encoder so special?

openGear Season 1 Episode 8

At IBC 2022, KitPlus speaks with VITEC about a new solution developed for openGear first. As Richard Bernard of Vitec explains, “We have developed a lot of openGear cards over the past three years, and the last one is Diamond+ OG.”

What makes this card so special is that it was developed directly for the openGear platform and form factor. Unlike other openGear products from VITEC, which are based on existing products, the MGW Diamond+ OG was designed first for openGear.

The card, which made its EMEA debut at IBC2022, is a 4K multichannel HEVC, H.264 and MPEG-2 encoder for contribution or point-to-point streaming over IP applications. For information about a broader array of openGear applications, get the 2022 Ultimate openGear Applications Guide at https://www.opengear.tv/guide/  It contains 26 new use cases, including HDR, SRT, multiplexing, 12G-SDI, IPTV, 4K UHD, and more.
