MD2000 Series from Media Links
The MD2000 HD processing system comes with a 16 slot, 2RU frame and supports a variety of high performance signal processing modules. All modules are hot swappable and independent of the rear I/O modules which allows for easy maintenance. The frame also supports hot swappable primary and secondary power supplies and a controller card for SNMP management.
(Charlie, I've just taken this image from the powerpoint presentation for now, but we could do with getting hold of a version of it that has a white background (i.e. a larger version of the image they show on their Product page)
Modules for the MD2000 include:
(Charlie, as agreed, I have just taken the bullet points from the powerpoint presentation for the JPEG2000 and HP270, but have put in the text from the ML website for the HD-GigE as it was more extensive)

HD-GigE HD Compression Codec and IP Video Gateway
The HD-GigE IP Gateway transports HD-SDI/SD-SDI/DVB-ASI signals over IP networks and offers a cost effective alternative to traditional video transport services. The flexible, HD intraframe compression codec produces a high quality video signal that can be transported over Gigabit Ethernet networks. Standard Definition and ASI signals are automatically detected and passed through transparently.
By utilizing field by field encoding, the entire codec process adds less than 10 milli-seconds of end-to-end delay to the video signal. The encoder can generate bitrates ranging from 251Mbps to 586Mbps, providing flexible control of the Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth to suit various applications. These codecs can also transport up to 16 channels of uncompressed AES audio and are capable of transporting Dolby® E.
HD-GigE output is compatible with a wide variety of IP network equipment. Signals from multiple devices can be combined using standard IP switches to share local and long distance facilities. Random bit errors and single lost packets are corrected utilizing robust forward error correction. Multiple lost packets or short term network failures are corrected through optional automatic packet retransmission.
The HD-GigE resides in the MD2000 series multi-purpose frames and the MD-003 1RU hybrid frame. Dual redundant power supplies and modular rear I/O connections provide maximum flexibility and reliability. A SNMP compliant controller with built-inweb browser ensures that the system can be controlled and monitored locally or remotely.
Need to add link to downloadable MD2000 Data Sheet when available (at the moment, the datasheet on the ML website is just for the HD-GigE)
