The session will also discuss available options and offer successful examples of integrating video into data-centric enterprise networks and developing applications that manage potential overload and maximize profitability.

The session is scheduled to take place on April 15th at 2:45 p.m. in the Central Hall of the Convention Center, Booth #C7248.

WEGENER will also exhibit at the NAB convention.

Additionally, this year at NAB, WEGENER will introduce two products, (1) the newest addition to its store-forward media server product line, the iPump(R) 562 Media Server for retailers, enterprises and other private networks and (2) WEGENER's new 4th generation control system, COMPEL(R) II.

The iPump 562 media server expands WEGENER's integrated approach of file- based workflows and live video reception/playout to both high definition (HD) and standard definition (SD) video channels, while supporting bandwidth-saving MPEG-4 (h.264) video decompression and DVB-S2 demodulation.
