The product line offers the efficiency, features and performance to address the needs of every service provider.

The MV 50 offers a powerful combination of MPEG-2 compression, features, and proven reliability. The MV50 encoder has a number of features, filters, and intelligent controls to consistently deliver the highest quality video in applications such as satellite and xDSL where bandwidth efficiency matters most.

The MV 50 encoder extends the use of LookAhead technology to predict video complexity and apply filter control. The LookAhead capability is key to DiviTrackXE, Harmonic's market-leading statistical multiplexing system. New DiviTrackXE features include support for up to 24 encoders in a stat mux pool with individual channel priority control.

The MV 50 encoder features ENRGY integrated noise reduction that enhances proven techniques like Motion Compensated Temporal Filtering (MCTF) and border processing, and adds unique, new filters. These include impulse noise reduction, edge adaptive texture filtering, non-linear spatial filtering and noise level estimation, resulting in exceptional picture quality at lower bit rates.

The MV 50 encoder also supports very low bit rate, last-mile applications.

The MV 50 encoder is manufactured in a number of audio options, enhanced VBI support, and is integrated with the Harmonic suite of network management tools.
