Network Video Processor
All you need for internet streaming
The NVP-903 is the 3rd generation of Caton's Network Video Processor solution. Built on the industry-leading Caton Engine, the NVP-903 offers powerful features and flexible deployment to meet the needs of today's streaming professionals.
Designed for delivery to multiple PC/Mac, mobile and TV platforms, the NVP-903 supports high-quality H.264 encoding and up to 3 simultaneous outputs with independent bitrates and resolutions. NVP-903's native network streaming allows easy deployment for live broadcast, distance learning, video conferencing, and other challenging workflows.
Powered by The Caton Engine
Caton Engine’s R2TP is an IP-based transport protocol designed specifically to solve QoS/QoE problems for live data transmission over the Internet. Applying highly advanced network congestion control techniques, R2TP maximizes Bandwidth Utilization Ratio (BUR) for high-quality content over nearly any given bandwidth.
R2TP applies highly efficient error correction mechanisms by combining a variant Automatic Repeat Request [ARQ] retransmit method and Caton’s Adaptive Network Code (ANC) engine to ensure highly reliable transmissions with lower latency.
Flexible Input and Output Options
NVP-903 is a compact device but with professional connectivity. SDI, HDMI, and CVBS for video input and FLV and TS for network output, combined with the Caton Engine for video transmission.
The Caton Engine
The NVP-903 utilizes the Caton Engine, an industry-leading set of adaptive protocols designed for real-time and file-based workflows over the Open Internet, for highly reliable real-time video transmissions and file-based transfers.
Multi Bitrate encoding
Direct to Social Media Publishing
NVP-903 can simultaneously output 3 independent TS streams with custom settings for different streaming destinations. Assign different bitrates and streams for different purposes, such as lower bitrate for a mobile device but higher bitrate for more powerful HD CDN platforms.
NVP has a built-in interface to connect to social media like Facebook, Youtube, etc. Using the built-in wireless access point, users can easily connect the NVP-903 to social media channels, with complete control right at your fingertips.
Built-in Recording
Portable
NVP-903 has an SD card slot for recording during streaming. Record in standard H.264 video format for off-line editing and insertion into various post-production workflows.
Lightweight and compact, the NVP-903 is easily deployed to a wide variety of locations, such as classroom, conference room, event and project staging, etc.
